I usally sit down for about an hour each night, and read on one of my books. Right now im working on The Crystal Shard by R.A. Salvatore.

Also what genre of books do you read? Book names are welcome.

I like Sci-fi :X I usually read for 30 or so minute everynight before I go to sleep, usually in bed :] But that's only when I have a novel, and thats only when I have school :]

I used to spend about 3 hours/day, because that's how long I'm on the bus.  But lately, I haven't been reading on the bus :/

Anything from an hour to around 5. I once had a reading marathon at my house cause I was madly in love with this one book I was reading.
Anyways, anything from Ludlum, Clancy,  Preston (douglas), and a couple others I can't remember.
Action, Sci-Fi, anything, just not romance or shitty stuff.

I read right before I go to sleep, helps knowledge sink in. I'm reading an adventure novel right now, but next is probably Douglas Adams and then Jon Stewart (I like comedic books too. If you do, I suggest America: The Democracy Inaction) with Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie's C Programming Language book.

I haven't read a novel in years, except for Terry Pratchett's.  I've recently read Hacking: Art of Exploitation, The Art of UNIX Programming, Beginning Linux Programming, and some textbooks.

Indeed. I only read when I'm forced to read.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Last book I read was Starship Titanic by Terry Jones (sci-fi/comedy).

I like comedy, sci-fi, action, adventure, mythology, and some fantasy.

Woot, finished The Cabinet of Curiosities - a suspensful mystery by Douglas Preston and some other guy.

Now starting, Neanderthal by John Darnton.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy for me :)
I also like science and math books too.
I read anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours a day.  Recently I've been reading Paul Davies About Time which talks about what time is and how it works (gravity, quantum mechanics, etc...) and Jack McDevitt's Moonfall, which I'm not too far into (it's sci-fi!).

@RaBBiT: That time one sounds interesting. I'll have to have a look at it.

@Topic: I hardly ever read. When the new Harry Potter book comes out, I'll read it, I guess. The only other exception is in Study Hall. Seeing as how I'm anti-homework, I re-read Lord of the Rings instead.

You might be right about that, Joe.
