I love books. In fact, some of my best friends are books.

If you're a book lover, I think you'll relate to my comics!

Me when I was reading Twilight 0-0 I recommend you all not to read it. It's sucky, but you have to read it all to say so ;-;

There are books that you read and reread until the end because you enjoy them, and books that you read until the end just for the sake of knowledge, so you can have a real judgement of your own.

So true. Once committed, you can't go back. That was the case with the trilogy "Shiver", "Linger", and "Forever".

This is my mother, and she calls me every day with an hour long rant on the author's writing style. Apparently some writers like adjectives too much for her taste. I try to tell her that life is too short to read crappy books. There are way too many fantastic, deeply moving books in the world to waste time on c**p. She can just stop reading it. She will gasp at me like I have suggested she give up brushing her teeth. So I just have to wait it out until she is finished that book. And she is a very. slow. reader......sigh.

    "Be wary of" books with these issues, but don't say "never". Some highly-promoted books are nice packages with junk inside, and some skilled indie writers are lacking in the cover-designing area.

    Any book with naked male torsos, or very scantily clad ladies, should also be avoided!

    I noticed, though, that later published Harry Potter books had Harry look more similar to the actor than the older releases. Which I find as well played. It's not really a screenshot, but the selling resemblance is here.

    Yeah, especially on Kindle: it's so easy to grab the next-in-series, and wind up binge-reading! (Though doing that with some authors reveals how cookie-cutter their individually-entertaining books are.)

    I literally just did this this exact thing this morning. I can't hang an umbrella in my locker or it will drip all over and destroy everything but I wasn't just going to walk to school and risk all of my homework and books getting soaked so I stuffed a bunch of plastic bags into my backpack to cover up my stuff. Then, I ended up finding a small umbrella that would fit on the top shelf of my locker and not get everything wet and it turns out... it never rained!!!

    I prefer reading my books in silence, or sounds from the surrounding environment. I don't mind the music of a coffee shop, if I find myself reading there, and I don't mind television, if someone else watches it in the same room where I'm reading. But if I'm alone, and at home, I'll most likely turn or keep the tv or music off.

    My son volunteered for his high school's librarian as she was doing their library's needed renovation for technology. (yes, a school library actually GOT funding ) and she needed to discard older books that weren't getting used anyway. So the kids were allowed to take them home if they wanted, mostly books from the 70s and 80s. He was in HEAVEN. He is a history book addict, so these books were like gold to him.

I have a tablet at my house but I can barely do anything on it. In fact, I am typing this at the library right now. Yeah, I get it when their closed on Christmas and Thanksgiving but my aren't they open on Memorial Day and Columbus Day and stuff?

    Most likely, because 1. you can plan in advance your trips to the library, because you know exactly when it's closed. 2. they got families, lives and for them it's a job, not a hobby. Would you like to work on the days off instead of enjoying your book?
