Farkas Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Make a thread about reading books, posts an audio book :dumb: I don't do any reading, except for maybe technical documents or maybe build threads, and even flame threads on TCL.

evan9381 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 i honestly have not read a book since the summer after HS (2003), and that was to re-read a book i read in HS (catcher in the rye) i started a book about 4 years ago, got 3/4 of the way through, and never finished it. bought one about 6 months ago i thought i'd really want to read...a guy wrote it, and they say if they listened to his intelligence, 9/11 would have never happened. whole chapters of the book are blacked out on shit they wouldnt let him print...read one chapter, never picked it up since i must have ADD or just find it super boring. i've tried, i just dont find it interesting enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read a book since '94 (HS). Just don't have the need to read one. Always been to busy or find something more interesting to do other than sit down a read a book.

Mensan Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I finished the first Jack Reacher book earlier this week and I'm about to finish the second one. I also have The God Delusion but haven't dived into that one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Almost done with this. It may have been a good read alone but after reading so many business related books about success this one feels kind of blah. http://image.bokus.com/images2/9780132876599_200 I'm going back to comic books.

ross Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I always end up 3/4 of the way through a book before I give up. Haven't completely read a book since probably jr high. Spark notes worked great in high school and a few years of college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Read or listen to? Like you're doing, I do a lot of audio books, but in terms of actually reading, none. I've not read an entire book for nearly 20yrs. Can't do it. I would much rather listen or watch. My wife and kids read tons of books. They each have a kindle or e-reader of some sort and my wife even formed her own book club that meets regularly, but not me. Sad perhaps, but I don't feel there's much of a difference between listening or reading except perhaps time. I spend a lot of time behind the wheel driving and listening. No way I have that much time to sit and read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear Palahniuk has also tapped the well. Though he's fiction. However, Haunted was at the least, discomfort-inducing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible Monsters was the last I read or his. I felt the same during that one. I'll give Bonsai a shot when I have time to not be in learning mode.
