Reading

[KingdomBlade]

I haven't read a book in like 10 year, It's not my thing.

Maybe grammar and reading are correlated.

Hahaha definately agree



Also, do any of you read in different languages? I read in dutch and english, I tried french but its just not happening and same goes for spanish and german although german isnt TOO bad considering

If your going to be a grammar nazi make sure your grammar is 100% perfect

I love hypocrites.

'Your' should be 'you're' and 'nazi' should have a capital N.

I'm just saying.....

Ever since my son was born, I don't have time for actual books anymore, so I use audiobooks. So I guess that counts right?

Gratz on you becoming a dad.. great... isnt it? xD

But yea I know what you mean. Since my tyke was born I had no more life left untill he went to sleep T_T

In all honesty, I dont regret it though.. Kid > Everything

I used to read a lot but I don't so much any more. I tend to do more writing than reading these days, what with my fanfics to finish and of course Guiding Light to run.

I never read books, but my wife reads every night

I never claimed to be 100% perfect unlike some people. Gbatemp doesn't need smug people like you trying to bring people down. Good way to derail someones thread aswell

Neither did we. All I said is that I agree that poor spelling, and Im talking bigger issues then too or to, is partly due to lack of reading proper novels
I make mistakes grammar wise I know that, but the thing that annoys me are those inadequate idiots who cant spell for shit

Reading a book makes you comprehend words better and sentence structure way better.

If anyone's smug, it's you. You were the one in the first place that said GundamXXX's grammar is poor even though he was simply making a point. He wasn't being a grammar Nazi or overconfident at all. You were the one who derailed the thread in the first place.

As for me correcting you, you'll have to excuse me on that. I have a habit of correcting people's grammar when that person makes himself noticed while saying something about grammar. I've corrected Rockstar a lot of times, especially when he makes those post milestones and says "i think my grammer is kinda beter". Also, in real life, some of my classmates intentionally use broken English to make themselves sound like gangsters so I've kind of taken a habit to correcting them even though they don't want correction.

I never try to intentionally bring people down. (except for this certain guy that really pisses me off) I'm a genuinely nice person. Just look at my other posts.

Depends...

During good school I have to do an essay on a book you've read every 4 weeks (no matter whatever year)
So I read about 2 or 3 during school time and read the wiki page on books (I don't like being forced to read)

During holidays I get through a book a week. (when I'm not forced)

Sounds odd but it's just the way I work.

More than 15 I guess....

Makes total sense.. I hate being forced to read

I kinda pwnd the final exam people though for english
We had to read several books but also old english literature and poems were allowed. I did Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came, the poem that the Dark Tower series are based upon and the people had NO clue what it was about lol

 

[darknessblade]

my vote is for manga's

 

[Shockwind]

I don't read too much books, so I voted weekly. I always read a book if I had the mood to read it.

I'll read a book if I'm happy, but if I'm angry or sad, I'll just seat and draw.

 

[Deleted member 473940]

I dont read much to be honest.
If something catches my attention, I read it with full of my concentration though

(whether its a book or whatever it is).

 

[Arm73]

Believe it or not, I used to read more when I was younger, but in the past 5-6 years I did almost zero books reading.
Recently ( and I mean in the past 3- 4 years ) I started to enjoy heavy text based games ( Phoenix Wright anybody ? Nine doors ? ) and I really enjoyed it.
I got into thinking that maybe I like to read.
Then , something change the cards completely : Ikureader.
I've got a DSiXL, and Ikureader looks amazing on it.
I downloaded about 400 books in epub format, and I got most of them to work on Ikureader, so now before I go to sleep I'm reading a few chapters of some nice mystery story.
I can even read when I eat now, since it's so easy to turn the pages and the DSiXL takes considerably less space then 400 real books

So yes, I'm becoming sort of a heavy reader, but for now, I only read when I am absolutely too tired to play a video game, other wise why waste my time on a book when I still didn't finish Assassin Creed 2 ?

 

[prowler]

Honestly, I don't read books at all.

Reading books hurt my eyes even when I've got my glasses on.
Books that are spaced out more, I can read.

 

[Raika]

Depends, but it's usually monthly, sometimes not at all... 1-5 a year.

 

[Mazor]

1-5 a year, Steinbeck only, Final Destination.

 

[zegaz312]

I didn't get into reading much until 2 or 3 months ago when my friends all suddenly started reading like crazy.. xD It sparked my curiosity and now i find myself reading constantly.. But i'm a slow reader so i average like 1-2 books a week, if i'm not busy

 

[nutella]

Reading? LOL
