I wouldn't read the tax code simply to read. I'd read the tax code if I was going to be tested on it.

Status: offline 		I'm a big, big reader and now attempting to write my own book. I have done a lot of research on the net for my writing, but found that actually a lot of the information i got was infactual or just plain wrong.
I try very hard to never see the movie of a book before i have read the book and always find the films pale in comparison. If i was still in school / college and studying english lit i would always prefer to read the book than pick up info from a website.
I would be one very unhappy girlie without a world full of books for me to read.

Status: offline 		i have always loved reading.  when i was in grade school, i spent my time reading the encyclopedia.  Now that i have gotten older i have a tendancy to speed read.  Where i read things to get the highlights and ignoring articles such as the, a and an,  in a post.
