Yes, but I'm only a few pages in. Seems interesting enough so far. :)

When you will read it, please tell me what kind of "gene" theory Darwin believed, because I heard it was different than currently dominant Mendl-derived one. Basically the guy said Darwin thought animals can modify their genes, but I'm afraid this was oversimplified.

They should make a book with the scientific explanation of how Bill O'Reilly was created.

I am currently reading "Into the Wild" for my English Literature class and I am reading "Phantom of the Opera" on my free time.

In CGL we are advised to read few things. It is going to be pretty because me and philosophy aren't the best companions. :oops2:

I haven't read a book in probably a year. I'd like to give The Last Dragon Chronicles another go. I remember them being really quite decent books but my English wasn't advanced enough to really understand what was going on 100% of the time.

I honestly had much better reading habits when I was 11 (which might explain why I was kinda looked in the side by my classmates at the time since I was using unusual vocabullary) but I gradually lost this sadly. I admit I can't read a book fluently since it starts to trigger headaches after a good while trying to interiorize well what I'm reading.

Hm, I was much more of an avid reader in my younger years, but as it stands, I don't really read much these days.

I just finished reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It's anything a hardcore gamer could hope for, and its like Willy Wonka meets the Matrix meets everything we've ever felt nostalgic about from the 1980s. If anyone here has read Killobyte by Piers Anthony, it's a bit like that.

Bumping time.

I'm not much of a book reader. I only read books when the power is out for an extended amount of time. Last year when the power was out for a week I read the old Diary of a Wimpy Kid books to kill time. I have had those first 5 books for years now.

The last book I read was The God Delusion, which was almost two years ago now. I'll probably be audiobooking The Disaster Artist soon (I know, meme).

I used to read a fair amount until I turned 16 (hey cool I was 15 when I last posted in this thread), like everyone else here.

The last book I was reading was Hercule Poirots Christmas which I started after watching Murder on the Orient Express. I was enjoying it but I sort of just got distracted and forgot about it, which seems to happen an awful lot not just with books but videogames too. I might get into listening to audiobooks, they sound a lot more suited to my lack of concentration :oops2:

I was lucky enough to be able to read until the age of 20, rather than 16, but yeah. Same old story.

When I was an elementary school student I LOVED to read. LOVED. Couldn't spend every waking moment without a book. I didn't have a specific genre back then my series ranged from Harry Potter to Artemis Fowl to Junie B. Jones (yes I read that series too). Now these days my current thing is to read cookbooks. I dunno why, but i find them fascinating and it gives me the inspiration to wonder be able to cook amazing food from home instead of always going out to eat something! Aside from cookbooks, I also read programming langage manuals, since I like learning new languages and it makes me look better as a programmer when I'm out looking for a job. Even though I don't read nearly as much as I used to, there will always be a part of me that has time for reading despite all the time I use for mu computer/phone/gaming these days.
