Does anybody actually read anymore? Everyone I meet these days, online and off, says that they don't like to read. I'm starting to get nervous.

And if you do read...what are you reading right now? *curious*

I read....quite a lot.

Latest book read
Heavier then Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain--This is more of a novel then a biography. We see the heart of a man ripped open for the whole world to find out. It is truly awesome.

What I plan on reading next
Communion: Well, I remember my brother reading it and I thought it looks cool. It has something to do with Aliens....

Just finished reading 9/11 Commision Report: Omissions and Distortions. I love to read. I sit and read to relax, at least an hour each day.
