Books

Any of you people read for the sack of reading for enjoyment? I mean you get books that you like to read just for yourself, not for a class or anything like that?

I've recently found out that I'm beginning to read more and more (something I hated just a few years back.) I used to read 1-2 books per year just for myself. Now I'm finishing my 4th book since September. I stay up just to keep on reading and when I put down a book, I force myself to do so because I tell myself I need sleep haha.

Anyways, I pretty much only read fantasy. I like to get away from all the stuff in the world that I live in and enter a totally different one, thus the reason I read fantasy. The stuff I love the most is the type of stuff that J.R.R Tolkeins wrote (Lord of The Rings books). I haven't actually read his books, and since I saw the first movie and will see the second one soon, I'm debating wether I should or not. We'll see later on how I feel. I still have a lot to read.

Anyways, do you read books and if so, what kind of books do you read? (If it's fantasy, I got a really nice list I downloaded a while back that lists a lot of authors and is very nicely organized.)
