I'm 24 years old (!), lover of God, and still a frustrated bibliophile. I read too slowly, forget too quickly; and I am undisciplined. I've read a couple of pages in most books I own, but have only read a handful from cover to cover. This will change. :D
As a kid, I read the Sweet Valley series (I admit it!) , Sidney Sheldon, John Grisham, Mario Puzo, Erich Segal... mainly fiction books I got from my older sister and brother.
I didn't read much during college, but it was then that I discovered the classics (e.g. Little Women, Secret Garden, Jane Eyre, Call of the Wild, Treasure Island, Importance of being Earnest, Innocence of Father Brown) - all thanks to Microsoft Reader in my Pocket PC, which came with these free books.
As a Christian, I believe in the absolute necessity of reading. After all, God did reveal Himself in a book (or books). If I want to know Him, I must read. :-) Today, I read mostly Christian non-fiction - I'm catching up since most of my life thus far has been spent reading fiction, some excellent, many frivolous. I love books on Christian apologetics, key doctrines, prayer. Recently, I discovered the wonderful world of Christian biographies. I'm trying to get a healthy dose of books on various topics (history, science, theology & spirituality, biographies, fiction) to help me develop as a thinker.
