No, because I buy books to read, not to line shelves to make me look clever or something. What a waste of a set of books.

No never, I buy them to read, not to look at.

Seriously though you need to read the LoTR books, IMO a more enjoyable experience reading the trilogy over watching the movies. One of the all time great books you should read tbh.

I buy them, I read them, I put them on the shelves with the rest of my books. I get bored, I think I'll read a book, I dig out old favourites and read them again.

That's what I do. The only one I've bought and not read yet is Magician by Raymond E. Feist, but that's simply because I just haven't got round to starting it yet. I read my books several times, I like the stories that much

I got bored reading the book(s). About when some guy came up and started singing. Pointless nonsensical twaddle. I thoroughly enjoyed the films though.

I generally read on the bus now or in bed if there's nothing on tv. A book on the bus (providing you don't get headaches, I used to but not any more) makes my 50 min bus journey seem fairly quick, me often hurrying to finish a page before getting off. Just a matter of finding some good books though.

I've honestly tried to read books, but I have to force myself through the first page then I just close it and watch a movie.

There are a few books that I'll re-read but for the vast majority I read them once and move onto the next one, there are so many books worth reading out there that if I kept re-reading I'd never get through even a tiny fraction of them.

You gotta read that book! One of the best Fantasy books ever written imo.

Read, The Stand, or Needful Things. Very entertaining, i could hardly put the book down!
