I like to read mostly for fun although learning something doesn't hurt. I usually buy my books and have varying criteria. Could be the author, the subject, suggestion by someone, book review or even just an interesting cover.

I mostly read in the tub. It's warm and comfy and no one bothers you (well mostly). For this reason I tend to buy books rather than check them out of the library as I'm always afraid I'll drop one in the water.

Some books I slog through, I rarely ever don't finish one but there have been a few. Some I can read in a couple of days. It just depends on the writing I guess. Some stick with me for years, these I tend to re-read. Others I forget a day after I finish reading them.

I hate reading aloud. Poor Maddy. She always wants me to read to her, and I do, but it makes me crazy. I read really fast and reading aloud just seems like it takes freaking forever. The exception being Shakespeare which was meant to be read aloud and is much better if you do so.

The rule in our house is you can never have too many books.
