Bonus Question: How much do you like to read books?

Are books a thing of the past? Do people still read? You tell us!

I love reading books! I love the smell of them, the feel of them! I'd like to tape my eyelids open at night so I can still read while I sleep.	I like reading books. It's nice to replace the voices in my head with someone elses.	Books are OK. As long as the game isn't on. Or maybe when there's no power. Or maybe an audio book when I'm on a long trip	I've got a few books holding up the corner of my couch.	I don't like books. Dusty. Dirty. And they make me just a little uneasy.	I hate books! All the little noises they make at night. Burn them! In fact burn the people who read them as well.

Thanks Again!
