I love to read! Right now I'm in the middle of <i>Name of the Wind</i> by Patrick Rothfuss. Even downloaded the book database "Book Crawler" for my iPhone to take over the one I had on my computer. It's just taking forever to get the info from one into the other.
Another poll answer could be "all of the above".
Currently, I am rereading, "Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment: How to Improve Productivity, Quality, and Employee Satisfaction", by William C. Byham, Ph.D.
It is a book I have kept on my desk, regardless of where that was, for many years. It's message is timeless.
Our book discussion group, at 400 Towers, is reviewing The Underground Railroad this month. We are, also, delving into the paranormal in Western N.Y.
Next month? We will decide at our meeting this coming Thursday afternoon.
The residents of the Towers are fortunate to be part of the Richmond Library's SAGE program. Books, magazines, DVDs, and reading aids are circulated on a routine basis.
I agree that there should have been one more option - perhaps one that offered the choice of 'two or more of the above.' When you simply love to read, it is hard to not prefer several genres and forms.
I know people who 'collect' particular books; I don't know anyone who limits their reading in such a way. One of my areas of interest is Egyptology. I own many books on the subject. Regardless, number-wise, that collection will never eclipse the hundreds of fiction works I also own. I started reading literature long before I developed an interest in ancient Egypt. I also have biographies, art monographs, History, alternative energy, psychology, philosophy and political books... A person would have to be kinda one-dimensional to answer this question, honestly.
My wife and I are both avid readers. Like many couples we like the complete opposite, thus never sharing books. We ended up giving each other e-readers for Christmas. She loves hers, Im still not used to finger swiping instead of page turning. Although not very surprised ,, Im still saddened by the "I don't read books" number

I wonder if that 18% do not see a need for funding a community library?
