Hey all,

Does anyone here really like to read? By that I mean do you spend some of your free time reading for enjoyment/recreation.

I am in the process of writing my first novel. I would like a few people to read a chapeter or two and give me an unbaised opinion.

If you think you may be interested please let me know what you've read lately, who your favorite authors are, and what genre you prefer.

Thanks,
'Mash

I love to read... except I seem to spend more time reading the DMF than I do books.

I bet I've got 20 books at home that I haven't even opened.  I go to the book store, find something that looks interesting, then put it on the shelf.
I solve my problems like an adult, at the strip club drinking on a work night.

Bret Ellis is your fave author?   ???

To quote the lit professor we shared in college (I knew Bret in college. Woo, facebook friend name drop!) "Mister Ellis does not write. He types."

Never liked his writing. Guess I never "got" it.

Back on topic, I'd be happy to read whatever you got.

I like reading!

As for what I like to read, it's all over the map.  Currently I'm reading "The Sushi Economy" by Sasha Issenberg,
just finished "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair.  Also working my way through Dante's  "The Divine Comedy"

Crichton, Card, Clancy are some of my guilty pleasures.
