Poll: 1 in 4 read no books last year - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com

I guess I must read enough to make up for those non-readers! If I don't average 30-40 books a month, I've been very, very ill!!! My reading is voracious, and to some, mind-boggling. I read fiction of various types, as well as nonfiction. I do not, however, read romance novels. Most of those aren't worth the paper they're printed on in my opinion. I read poetry, too.

I've been in love with books ever since my mother read me my first Little Golden Book, I taught myself to read by the time I was 4, and there's been no stopping me in the 56 years to follow. My one problem with reading as a child was people who tried to limit my reading to age level material. This frustrated me to no end, since I'd read those books a good 2-3 years earlier. When I went to kindergarten, my reading ability tested out at 3rd grade level. By 3rd grade, I was reading at high school levels.

The man in this article who said he only read nonfiction and that if he wanted a story, he'd get a movie probably lacks imagination. When I read fiction, I climb into that world, and virtually leave the rest of the world behind. In other words, if you want my attention while I'm inside, you'd better touch me in some way to break the spell of the story. Otherwise I won't hear you at all! I drive people nuts that way, because although the body is present, the mind is not.
