Reading as a hobby?
 

So there's a thread for tv shows and I think I just saw one for Youtube channels and I thought hey what about a thread for bookworms! :)

I enjoy reading and always carry a book with me wherever I go; I suspect I'm an introvert. Anyways, I try to read a variety of books from mistery, drama, fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, non-fiction, etc.

Anybody else enjoy reading?

Right now I'm reading The Valkyries by Paulo Coelho.

I never liked fictions except the 18+ ones with pics..

Interesting. I've heard of The Price of Inequality and have it on my to read list.

I watched her TedTalk and absolutely loved it! :) Speaking of introverts whenever I am reading in public or let's say thinking without doing anything else (so I'm just sitting there) some people have said are you okay? :shock: lol

I'm reading Personal Development for Smart People: The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth by Steve Pavlina. This book is so dope it's helping me now that I have my work permit and SSN and soon DL I'm realizing I need to improve myself as a person. I recommend this book it's an eye opener.

Have you read "Alive" by Paul Piers Reed?

Re: Reading as a hobby?
 

I love reading, and I mostly read series books, or novels with historical background. Right now I'm reading "Uglies" by Scott Westerfield. I just finished Lisa See's "Shanghai Girls" and that book almost made me cry. It's basically about undocumented US Chinese immigrants during WW2. What they went thru really hits home to what we're going thru right now....probably worse because of the generation....but it's history repeating itself. I would recommend it to every dreamer.

I'm an avid reader. I do read a lot of books, but I read more essays and research papers by financial analysts and economists. I have a Nexus 7 tablet that I do all my reading on. As for a book, I'm reading "All the Devils are Here", and for research papers I have http://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/pdf/fina...iskchapter.pdf on deck
