in Coffee lounge
This is something I do over the winter.
Not getting on that well with current book but will persevere, half way now so want to know how it ends. 
Can't read Sci Fi, but like romance, general topics I suppose nothing complicated. 
I actually read teens books too- just as good.  :)

Over to you.

    Love a good 'who done it', Ruth Rendal is one of my favourites.  Also love historic novels, like The White Queen.

    I love reading and have done since an early age. Tend to enjoy historical fact, crime and true crime. I do an awful lot of reading for research about my ancestors.

    I love to read - its difficult these days to concentrate/hold a book but I try...
    I love thrillers too and Fantasy books (not sure of the genre) books like Lord of the Rings or Louis de Berniere's, The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman; also William Horwood's series called Duncton Tales. I could go on and on - but I won't :p

    I read almost entirely on Kindle these days, for portability and for being able to enlarge the text to a point where I'm not struggling. May be tempted to go to audio books next. Currently re-reading the 'complete works' of Charles Dickens and now enjoying "The Old Curiosity Shop" again.

    Tried a Kindle couldn't get in with it.
    I love the feel of a book. Plus if I drop it the worse that can happen is I lose the page.

    I think as well is not really that easy to hold.
    Saves me money anyway.  :)

    Yes the library has got a great stock of books to choose from
    Yes and I think you can borrow cds and dvds? 
    Least you used to be able to.
    There  is a fab charity shop that sells books for 50p. Brilliant place. Just need to get the table and chairs plus coffee machine and that's my day out.

    I love reading. I like crime thrillers and enjoy using amazon kindle app on my tablet. I lose days reading when I can’t do anything else. I couldn’t read for a couple of years due to my health but I perservered and now I can again. I also love researching online.
