I’m currently reading Crime and Punishment right now, on Part 5. I stopped reading for a few months because I was busy with school and kinda just fell out of a routine, but I am working on fully getting back into reading after I had to read A Study In Emerald for a class and enjoyed it so much. I started reading in 2020, during the pandemic. I just figured I should start a new hobby or do something more productive if I have to stay home all day, and so the first book I decided to read was The Godfather. Ever since, I’ve been reading more of classic fiction books, self-help novels, also manga and light novels. How about you guys?
Currently reading good girl, bad blood by Holly Jackson
And what got me into reading is quite stupid but it was its aesthetic to me and I started off with "Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe " a lovely story about two teenage boys finding about the world and themselves and it’ll give you a good summer vibe💛
Tell the Wolves I’m Home (over 20% in and would recommend.)
I was in a relationship at the time and kept talking about wanting to try reading, so my boyfriend bought me a copy of the top seller of the day …The Davinci Code. (It was a bit cheesy at times but I still enjoyed the ride.) That kickstarted everything.
I’m currently reading: 'Twelve against the gods" by William Bolitho Ryall
In 1994, I realized I hadn’t read a book since high school and I thought I should read more, so in 1995, I started reading regularly, now (30 years later) I average about 6-8 books a year, I’m very satisfied with myself. Kudos to you for getting back into reading!
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
I just started reading to Origin by J.A. Konrath. I enjoy his books because its like going to a see a horror movie. His books tend to have lots of gore, sex, violence, perfect popcorn reading.
My sister also got me to buy that Fourth Wing book that people are raving about. I got it with the audiobook, but I want to read some of it first because fantasy names are kinda weird to only hear and never see.
The setting sun -osamu dazai. I started reading it after I watched a biography movie about the author.
Currently reading Exit Strategy by Martha Wells.
I got into reading as a small child when my grandmother taught me to read.
I’ve read my whole life; I just always loved it. I’m reading Early Medieval Art by Kitzinger right now.
Currently reading (kind of. I’ve been on a break for a few weeks) Caesar’s Women by Colleen Mccullough.
Got into reading for pleasure when my middle school had a library sale and I saw my favorite movie was a book that was only 50 cents. All credit to Treasure Island and shitty school funding.
The Creature from Jekyll Island because my co-worker can’t take a hint.
My parents would read to me, and that’s how I got into reading.
I’m reading Animal Dreams by Barbra Kingsolver, it’s my third of her books this year after reading Demon Copperhead and then The Poisonwood Bible.
I’ve been a lifelong reader, loving books since before I can remember.
Right now reading through the wheel of time books for the first time. It’s book 5 of the series and I have been enjoying it so far
“Trail of the Lost”, about searching for long lost hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. Before that it was a novel. I read novels, history and other nonfiction. I started reading before I started grade school. My dad would sit me on his lap and read the newspaper to me, pointing out words. Comic books, like Donald Duck and Superman were my early favorites. I’ve always read.
I, robot from Asimov. My older cousin gifted me a novel called: “in the land of the mammoths” when i was 9 years old. This started a lifetime obsession with literature for me. I am 33 currently and i have finished thousands of books, but this particular novel was the start.
By Tooth and Claw. I got into it because I was looking for books about dinosaurs and found one where a magical dinosaur race are fighting against a race of lion people with magic dancers. I love it.
