Any of yall read for Leisure?

[Serius]

Just curious because it seems these days not alot of people read just to read. These Days its just them being forced to read classics (i.e. To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Color Purple, etc) which many people don't like in the first person. So I was just wondering if anyone else out there reads for leisure like me?

And in case anyone was wondering, the last book I read Gates of Fire. Good fucking book. Although I did just order 70 bucks worth of books to read, which include: A Confederacy of Dunces, Runnin With Scissors, Naked, V For Vendetta, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and The Spy who Came in From The Cold. Currently reading The Last Gangster by George Anastasia Albert Anastasia's Son) and The Good Guys by Bill Bonnano (former heard of the Bonnano Crime Family), Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco) and David Fisher (yes I read at times up to three books at a time.)

Is The Great Gatsby any good? Everytime I checked it out in Middle school i never got past the first couple of pages. Then again that was more than a decade ago so my taste for literature has changed since then...

Angels and Demons
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is shocked to find proof that the legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning the blind faith of Catholicism--is alive, well, and murderously active. Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra has been murdered, his eyes plucked out, and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his chest. His final discovery, antimatter, the most powerful and dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared--only to be hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of a new pope. Langdon and Vittoria, Vetra's daughter and colleague, embark on a frantic hunt through the streets, churches, and catacombs of Rome, following a 400-year-old trail to the lair of the Illuminati, to prevent the incineration of civilization.

reading is only good in your younger years. as a child, reading stimulates the creative mind as well as improves grammar. I used to fuck with them choose your own adventure books as well as sports illustrated magazines. as of today, I see little purpose in reading. unless it is something that can change your view point on life (bible/ life philosophy, physchology, ect.) or something informative with the world around us(newspapers/magazines),.when I say little purpose in reading, I'm speaking on "pleasure reading". no logic behind spending countless hours reading about some shit that never taken place or writing that has no barring on my life.

[femalemc1]

^Pleasure reading can still stimulate your mind.I read how reading can help with your memory process too.So there is a point in reading not just for informational use..I don't know about yall but if I'm having a long day at school or something I just come home and read.It relaxes me.
