I used to hate reading. In my younger days I was always worried about misinterpretating symbolism and meaning. My obsession was with trying to understand the way an author meant for something to come across. Then I realized truly great books are open to interpretation, the way it forms in the mind of the individual reader. That really opens the world of books. To not worry if you're going to deep into it or not deep enough. Everything is perspective when it comes to symbolism of books.

I think one of the main reasons so many people hate to read is because they're forced to in school. This might also explain why there are so many stupid people in America, because most refuse to read anything longer than a few paragraphs.

i have always loved to read.. For me it was an escape from the monotony of daily life when i was a child, and it still has that almost drug like effect on me.. I also write a lot too, so i read more and more to try and develop my style as a writer.. Anyway..

i can stand to read novels. they are just shit to me. however i love reading technical books (computers, audio, etc.). the school thing does make sense. its no good if your forced to read things that dont interest you. i think thats why many view reading in a negative light

Reading is life, a source of information like no other. I read anything especially technical stuff, my friends think I'm a serious nerd 'cause when I wasn't in school I'd borrow their Organic Chem/MicroBi/Bio Chemistry/insert any other science here all the time and just sit there reading them.
It made them sick.

I also like fiction especially William Gibson, R.A. Heinlen, stuff like that. I used to love Anne McCaffery and Piers Anthony too. Not as much of a novel reader anymore though.

Poetry is a passing hobby too, reading and writng, but only when I'm inspired.

Big fantasy/sci fi reader, all the oldies, most of the newbies....its an escape.
Not much non-fiction....some technical stuff
I always loved to read, since i learned how, i just zone out. I read everywhere, school, home, bed, car, shower, pot, dinner......all the time.
