I am a huge one, always seen my parents reading anytime they had free time, they have thousands of books at home, so no wonder where is this passion of mine coming from.

But nowadays when we spend most of our times on iPhones, iPads...etc reading is becoming underrated.

Love just wondering around in Chapters, Hodges Figgs, well usually buy something

Do you have any favorite book, writer?

Favorite book: On The Road

Favorite Writer: Hemingway or Camus

unfortunatly no im not but would like to , but every time i go to a store i have no idea where to even start nothing appeals to me , i think this is because of a video stores and movies you sit back and the imagination is done for you

i would like to maybe try some clasics , moby dick , dantaes inferno , thats all i know and not sure if there even classics lol

Its never too late to start, for me classics are russian literature /Dostojevski, Tolstoi/ 1984 by Orwell and the list goes on but each to their own.

It was a crying shame when they closed Borders in Blanch. Great bookshop with coffee shop as well.
I don't read as much as I used to, but I really enjoyed working my way through French lit like Maupassant, Zola, Hugo, Stendal etc etc.
Sci fi and GOT are big loves. As are photo books , travel books and art books.
But nowadays anything that looks vaguely interesting. Biography's are interesting

Sthendhal is on my holiday reading list along with Updike, Steinbeck, Bulgakov, and maybe its time for War an Peace

Yes I'm a bookworm. I find it really hard to fall asleep without reading, mostly crime/thriller fiction & the occasional biography.

Just finished The Wolf of Wall Street.......haven't seen the film yet but wouldn't be surprised if the book was better.

Huge fan of Dicaprio he was brilliant, seen it twice but not overly impressed!

Real Wolf of Wall street been in Dublin few months ago and heard it was a pure rip off, only wanted to sell his course in UK

I thought I had lost my reading mojo. I simply could not concentrate on reading and would skim or lose interest quickly. Unfinished books would accumulate and then I'd bring a box to the charity shop. It made me feel slightly guilty, as if I was wasting something valuable. But I'm improving a little again; helped by the fact that I happened to purchase some well written books that caught my interest when I started them. It can be hard to read for leisure if you anxious or troubled but books can also be inspiring and reassuring when you read something that strikes a chord. I read The Elegance of the Hedgehog recently and although it took two attempts to get into it I'm glad I persevered. It is a book that has polarised readers though with some loving it and some dismissing it as rubbish. Quiet, by Susan Cain, a book about introversion caught my interest in another way and because it is accessible and well written I enjoyed it and learned a few things too.

I've read books on all sorts of subject matter and genres. If I like an authors work I buy more of it, (for example - Martin Cruz Smith, Murakami, Atwood) or if a particular topic or event catches my fascination I can buy several books by different authors on that subject. Polar exploration for instance. I also buy some of the award winning novels with mixed results. I liked Sense of an Ending and God of All Small Things. Star of the Sea surprised me and I only bought it because I heard an interview with Joseph O'Connor on the radio.
I'd love to go back to Waterstone's in London. Eight floors - now that's a bookshop.


"...has the simple refinement as the hedgehog: a deceptively indolent little creature, fiercely solitary - and terribly elegant."

I wish i would still read like i did before
Every day when i walk my dog i pass by a book shop and every time i say i will go and buy one !

But didn't got in yet

I tend to go more for the historical and fiction books

What about an outcall to a bookshop?
