GoodMorningSunshine,
I like Patterson and Coulter as well. Have not read Paul Bowels, when I go to the library next week will make note to check out his work.

Lestie, Like you I always have a book with me. Before I leave my house, I make sure I have my keys, cell phone and a book. I have to laugh, I am just returning from sorting books that will be sold at my library's book sale next Saturday. I already know which books I will buy Such treasures. You know you have it bad when you fondle and caress pages and book jackets.

Vannie, I know what you mean about falling asleep if you listen to an audio book and you're sitting still. In fact, I often listen to one at night, (I pick a boring one-lol) if I can't fall asleep and it works every time.

UPDATE: I am reading "Practical Miracles for Mars & Venus" from the library. Got it yesterday. Anyone read this? I am TRYING big time to read it in between life's activities - getting there Needed something to ENCOURAGE me yesterday - worked!!!Hi Vannie, I do miss having the time to read for "pleasure" and look forward to being able to do this again. Once in awhile I will make time, but it is time that should be spent elsewhere. Hey, it may take me retiring (now 52) to have the time again. And here I was thinking that once my now 24 year old only child moved out, that I would have the time. But I did not plan on romance this late in life. Now he and our 2 dogs keep me busy. A good busy, but I am looking forward to some ME time. Great subject Among other things May celebrates Reading is Fun Week, sponsored by Reading is Fundamental to highlight the joy of reading and remind everyone that reading can be and is fun. Read a book today. See my full May Events Calendar As always I try to find the events that are familiar to people and some not so much. Some people read to live, in other words, read only the necessary things. I on the other hand, am a confirmed bookaholic, so much so that I actually have a monthly book budget How often do you read for pleasure?

Angela, I have not read "Practical Miracles for Mars & Venus" Is it by John Gray? I did read "Men are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" I found it eye-opening.

I read for pleasure on a daily basis. EVERYBODY at our house does!
When our kids were young, we put the TV up for close to a year. Our boys went from good decoders and reluctant reader to avid readers. It did not change when the TV came back. At 24 and 28, they still both have books that they read every day.

"I read for pleasure on a daily basis. EVERYBODY at our house does!" My goodness Connie, I think that is wonderful. Like you I am a daily pleasure reader. I doubt there are many people who could give up television for almost a year

I only read book if I have good mood, :(
But reading is really a good idea for us, no matter for learning, or for pleasure.
