So do I. There is always a couple of copies of Readers Digest in
doctors and dentists waiting rooms.

The difficulty is finding books which are actually enjoyable to read.
Don't get me wrong, I do *enjoy* reading good fiction. The difficulty is
finding it.

I've heard this gem before. However, given that talking is strictly
prohibited, I fail to comprehend how this one works...

When was the last time you were in a library :) Now-a-days the sound
of keyboards clicking would deafen you :(

Yeah, add that to the fact that if one is antisocial, the only reason to
be in a library is the books.
Mmm, books...tasty.

Out of pure curiosity have you had chance to glance at any of the titles
or authors that everyone here has suggested at one time or another?

I don't think that there is any point. I've met lots of people who
don't read fiction and if you've not picked up the habit by your
twenties then I don't think that there is much chance that you ever
will. Me I read the back of the cereal packet at breakfast. Over and
over :)
