Who here actually READS anymore?(I do and I'm proud of it!)

[Evil-Olive]

I read a lot. Reading is my life. <3
I've loved to read since I was able too.
But I seem to read less now because of school and homework.
But on weekends, I am almost always reading.

As for the goths loving to read and what not, I haven't met many. Apperently it's cool to be a drop-out, do drugs and rebel against teachers. Did I miss a fad?

I play viola. I'm such a nerd. :B
I haven't writen any music yet, and haven't played for long.

 

[Bakurish]

Dude, I used to play the Viola!
eek
But... I quit because I could take much more s**t from my Orchestra teacher. I was seriously about to bit her head off...

But yes, back to the topic. I read, I alwasy read. Last nigh, I finished New Moon by Stephaie Meyer. That woman's ******** genius!

[Tari_Leralonde]

Look out, major nerd coming through.

I read ALOT. I have a new book almost every single day. the only class I do really bad in is math. I'm terrific at science. My friends tease me all the time about my nerdy-ness. lol  

[starkespada]

[Beatngufan]

I just got don reading a book about these four kids who get locked up in an attic and was abused by theyr grandmother, quite a disturbing book actually  

[The Goth Apple]

I have proven myself literate on many occasions, but I'll admit that recently I've been reading Lovecraft pretty much exclusively.

Seriouslly! Who really goes to the bookstore, gets a copy of "the red badge of courage" and reads anymore. I still do! The amount of people who go to the bookstore for something besides anime is dwindling...Anime is cool but try reading something else as well for a change.

While I have a topic started here, I would like to ask how many goths you know/meet that you would consider intelligent/"geeky" (read books, know about history, literature, science, don't hate school...) It seems like a lot of people these days just headbang to some metal band, wear black, and say they're goth. No. I'm sorry. Those qualities alone can't make you goth. Or at least "true goth". They should read up about goth a bit more.

Also, who here plays an instument? What do you play, for how long, and do you wright your own music?

I still read, but sadly not as much as I would like to... I am usually being kidnapped by my buddies, or have things to do around the house that keep me from reading... I still have a passion for reading though....

Well, not the Red Badge of Courage. I mean, if that's your criutera for reading, I don't. But I do go to b ookstores, and get books that are in fact, filled with words.  

[Pixelated Awesome]

Very nice.

I actually picked up a copy of Dante's Inferno the other day.

Fascinating... it's in Italian, AND English, side by side. mrgreen  

[Acid_PopTart]

I read way to much for my own good. I read so much in bad light that I had to get glasses.

[Vexworth]

Ahh, Dante.

That book is quite possibly the best source of strange insulting/threatening phrases I've come across. ^_^

Just based on your "that is a good one" i think i'll check it out.

I was reading Jane Eyre the other day (marvelous book!) when my grandmother came and started talking a milliom miles a minute to me. I hate it when people disturb me when i'm reading, it throws me out of "the zone".... stare  

[Pixelated Awesome]

Well, as long as I don't get beaten down for reading one of the most offensive pieces of literature in the history of man. ^_^

Dante is the guy who wrote all of the disturbing things about the different levels of Hell, and what happens there. mrgreen Joyfulness.

Sing as if no one is listening, dance as if no one is watching…

I don't read offten but when I read I READ. You can't get me awaaaay from my book. I'm glued to it.

I read all sorts of material from western and Japanese comics, junk books and novels. Lately it's been more of the junk books...but that's because I'm EXTREMELY picky with my material.

Usually if it's not a Best Seller, I can't read it.

…love as if you have never been hurt before, live as if there is Heaven on Earth.
