When was the last time you sat down and read a book?

Yesterday. Actually, I used to read books all the time, but then I moved, and the library here isn't too convenient. But if I find a good book, I'll read it. I'm currently reading Ender's Shadow (finished Ender's storyline, now on to Bean's biggrin), Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451.

Last month, I have s exams coming so I don't have much time for books or manga. I like fantasy and sci-fi genres.

Earlier today. During my free period at school, I went outside and sat down on one of the benches and read a chapter of Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys.

I read quite often. Usually in the evenings, and on bus trips. At the moment I'm reading a compilation of short stories and essays by Isaac Asimov, a classic science fiction writer who coined the term 'robotics' and invented the Three Laws of Robotics, which appear in Pluto as well.

It's been... um... a while.

Now, I do not count light novels, textbooks, or other required reading material (otherwise it's only been a few months).

I think the last "novel" I finished was What's Your Poo Telling You?
Now, that was a fun one... read it on the way to the dentist.

The last one I really read before this was Jane Eyre.
Did not like.

Now, in high school, I read about 33 books during the school year but that was... five... and a half years ago.

I read one every night. I'm a total book worm. Currently I'm in the middle of re-reading Prisoner of iron Sea Tower by Sarah Ash. It's book 2 in her amazing Artamon's tears triology and since I have exams to revise for I need a book I've read enough times to be able to put down if I need to.

Two months ago. I haven't been reading as much as I used to. I think the last book I read was The Blood of Flowers. It was so-so. I also read a bit of Anna Karenina, but haven't finished yet.

Last week. Before I started work and school, since I knew I wouldn't get much of a chance to read once I did start.

Today. I just started reading Daughter of the Desert by Noel-Anne Brennan. Not sure how good it is since I've only finished 2 chapters.

This morning. I finally polished of The Museum of Innocence (Orhan Pamuk's moderately new book). It's far too heavy-handed for his style, which is really a shame considering how great The Black Book was. I had been stalling the last hundred pages or so for a little over a week.

This question, however, is pretty irrelevant for me. I read nearly every day.
