Just finished the two books I was reading (From hell and Foundation) and I'm about to start two books I recently purchased.

This first is Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic and the second is a collection of Australian essays on atheism called The Australian Book of Atheism.

I probably read about 3 or 4 books a year. Never really been keen on it, but the odd book does capture my interest.

I don't think it's been much of a detriment to my comprehensive or grammatical skills. My vocabulary is probably greater than average, and I've always been a good reader/writer.

The book is only 480 pages long (accoring to the website of the book's publisher here in Romania), so that's definately not what I would call "long" (a book has to be close to or be over 1000 pages to be considered "long"). I'll definately pick it up when I have the time.

Yes, people still read books. Just look at the sales of Amazon's Kindle (which is awesome btw).

With the amount of time I spend commuting I tend to get through a book every 1-2 weeks.

Yes, a lot. Even in a gaming site like this one, with all it's teenage nerds and stuff, you can find a lot of people reading, so overall situation must be good. 

Nerds typically read a lot. Maybe geeks aren't heavy readers, and definately some of the other stereotypes, like dorks, jocks, cheerleaders etc.

I like Asimov. You know the Robot series is linked to the Foundation series and Empire series? Are you going to read all the way to Empire and Earth?

Maybe old school nerds that dabble in stuff like LOTR, Star Wars etc., but not this gen man. Just take for instance what most people here would consider as a game with a good story and interesting characters.

That's right. I originally was going to read Foundation but I decided to start from the beginning chronologically. Just started reading Robots and Empire. I downloaded a collection of his works to my kindle (He's dead anyways)  and I'm set.

I do!
