Reading

I just read a poll result that said something about how liberals read more than conservatives. (I'm assuming this is meant to prove how much more enlightened they are)

But on average, liberals read nine books a year and conservatives who read, read 8. I hate to say it, but that's less than what I read in a month.

Granted, I read lightweight stuff...chick lit, thrillers, mysteries, and then the occasional "heavy" book, usually pertaining to God and spirituality. Also, I have down time at work to read. But still, I simply cannot imagine my life without having a book going at the moment.

I also like to write and constantly have storylines weaving themselves together in my head. Fleshing them out is much much harder, but I would like to have a published book one day. Even if it's self-published! I thought this was a constant state for all readers, but turns out it's not.

Anyway, I'm not really sure why liberals would read more than conservatives or what these people would be reading. Or how I could ever narrow my selections down to nine books in a year, what would I read?

How about you? What do you like to read best? How many books a year on average do you read? Liberal or conservative? (obviously, you can decline to answer that!)

Oh and one more thing. That My Library thing on the on side shows the recent books I've read, whatever's on top is what I've read most recently. I'm also on shelfari...if you are either of these sites, let me know, we can be friends!
