"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Since I was very young, I have always been a reader. How do I recall it when realised it? I think I never gave it any thought and just went on reading. I used to love all those fairy tales, then went on read Enid Blytons, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drews, classics, Perry Mason series, Agatha Christies and lot more.
I never paused for a moment. I read poetry too. But that came much later. Five years ago, to be exact. I discovered that I could write poetry and also found that I loved exploring contemporary poets. I had read the great masters long time back, in my school and college years.
For me being a reader is no surprise for me, for my family and friends. That way, I end up getting lots of books as gifts from them. Suits me fine.
What about you? Can you live without reading?

I could never live without reading! I've always loved it...Nancy Drew, The Little House on the Prairie books, James & The Giant Peach....I remember them all!
Probably not, I think my brain would explode it if couldn't escape somewhere else. The most time I've ever gone without reading (that I can remember) is a couple of days.
Live without reading? No. There are lots of things I'd give up before I could give up reading.
Never! My life would be dull without books.
I didn't realize I was a reader until after I was married. I guess I thought everyone was before that. My life wouldn't be complete without books.
Being a reader 'suits me fine' as well ( I like how you put it) and I will always love a good book.
I could not live without reading. I learned to read early and have always found joy and solace in books.
There is story my mom used to tell. I was about 18 months old, sitting in my crib holding a book and appearing as if I was reading. Of course the book was upside down:)
No, books are as essential to be as food and air and coffee.
I'm hosting a giveaway on my Sunday Salon post today. I plan to give away two $10 gift cards to Amazon on Easter Sunday. I hope you will stop by and sign up!
books are like air..I need them to survive!
I cant live without reading either :)

I've been reading as long as I can remember. Going to the library used to be my favorite thing in the world.
maybe when i was a kid and other friends would gawk at my collection ;)
No m'am, no life without books! In fact, the first spring sun is creeping onto my balcony so I hope to be sitting there in a short while with my book ;)
The first book that really impressed me was The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford.
