Does anyone ever read anymore?

Question

It seems like nobody reads books or anything nowadays. All the teenagers I talk to are actually proud of the fact that they haven't read a book since they were like 5. So do you ever read just for the hell of it?

Answer 1

I read all the time. It's not just relaxing but it gives your mind the ability to dream while you're awake.

Answer 2

Ok lol when you said "All the teenagers I have talked to have said they havn't read a book since they were 5", thats bull donkey.Thats totally not true unless they don't go to school because when your in like 4th or 5th grade you read as a group sometimes and you take turns.They just want to show off and say they havn't read a book to look cool.Most of them do they just don't say they do because they think they'll look foolish trust me im 15 my friends always say that lol.


Vote best plz =)

Answer 3

they haven't read a book since they were like 5? Wow, when I was a kid we learned to read at 6, didn't have to do book reports for school till we were 15. Give them time.

These days there's a lot on the internet they could or should be reading and learning, and it's sad (from your statement) to hear that they aren't taking advantage of one of the best educational tools they have. Frankly I'd be curious as to just what they are doing if they aren't reading.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I am reading Tim Allens Am I Really Here, about half way through, I finished The Music Box, by T Davis Bunn, yesterday, I am three quarters of the way through Mad Cow Nightmare by Nancy Means Wright. I read A Woman of No Importance from www.dailylit.com they have older books that you can read via email in 5 min. excerpts. You can pay to receive newer titles.

Answer 6

I do, children are not taught the importance of books and reading. They have become so used to the 20-30 second soundbyte that they don't realize that reading sets the foundation for excellent study skills and a broad knowledge base.

Answer 7

So some distance NO, Most books which are truly well makes one wish to learn extra books that she or he likes. These are the books which are truly well that I have learn. The Hunt For Red October via Tom Clancy Patriot Games via Tom Clancy The Cardinal of the Kremlin via Tom Clancy Clear and Present Danger via Tom Clancy The Sum Of All Fears via Tom Clancy Red Rabbit via Tom Clancy Against All Enemies via Tom Clancy (In the core of studying) The Spy Who Came In From The Cold via John Le Carre Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy via John Le Carre Inside the CIA: Revealing the Secrets of the World's Most Powerful Spy Agency via Ronald Kessler Masters of Chaos: The Secret History of the Special Forces via Linda Robinson There is a publication I have learn again within the 90s that's now not as well because the books I indexed above. The publication itself got here out earlier than the 90s. The publication is Contract On The President via John Crosby.

Answer 8

I just scan the pages really quick but don't actually read word for word. But yeah I "read" for the hell of it about 20 books a week.

Answer 9

I read books all the time. Even though I'm no longer a teen, I used to read books back then too.

Answer 10

im a teenager. All my friends are like proud of themselves if they read a magazine. I love reading, it's a great thing to do when your bored, and it really is fun. Im bored easily with books, so when I read it has to be something scary!

Answer 11

I must admit that I usually only read books when I'm lying on a sunbed on holiday or I'll read a few chapters to try to help me sleep.
I like to get right into one with no distractions and it's hard with the job and hours I do.
