I reckon reading is cool, but people (other people who don't read) will only agree with you if you read "cool books". I mean, if you read long, classicals, your class mates won't think it's cool... but if you're reading a book like princess diaries, or a book about boys, they won't think it's un-cool. (doesn't necessarily mean they'll think it's cool either though...)

No offence people, but of course everyone on this site is gonna think reading is cool.. Its like going to a Star Trek convention and saying "Hey guys, do you like Star Trek?"
but hey, reading is cool, anyway.

Enjoyed reading all your comments. We would not be unique if we all liked the same things so I have to say there is nothing wrong with prefering TV to reading. I do both because they are two totally different art forms and I enjoy them both equally. Reading... I create the images; watching... I am seeing someone else's spin on a topic which makes me question things. If we didn't question things the world would be stagnant.

I think that raeding is a great way to learn about the world we live in know. I think that it is also good to read becuase you get so interested and you cant get the book down. Reading is a good way to forget about your problems that you may encounter in your life. Reading is good because everyone no matter what age you are can read even little kids can just look at the pictures. I think that we should open more libaries so that kids can always read and get books for projects. :P

I think that reading is cool, but it really does depend on what sort of book you are reading and if you like it. BULLDOGSROCK I DISAGREE with you and Lucy, when you are on the computer, you are reading, when you are watching TV you are reading everywhere you are you are most likely reading. Anyway even right now you are reading. (READING ROCKS!!) >:)

I would be lost without reading.
I read to get away from the hectic and sometimes scary world we live in and just to find comfort. To just be able to lose yourself in another world, even if is written in our world, it's like you've become someone else and not you.

Reading it very cool: it opens up worlds to us beyond the one we're experiencing. Books are a constant- they can be there no matter what is going on in your life and who is/n't around. You can find yourself in books and feel like you've made a connection.

Books are portable, easy to obtain, and there's always something for everyone, regardless of personal likes or circumstance. Reading is like having a freedom no one can steal from you.

And people who read are sexy.

I love reading! whenever im not in a good mood, a good bood cheers me up. I just got glasses and that does NOT mean i'm a nerd. (i basically got glasses because I read in the dark, whoops!!) You gain so much knowledge from just one book!

Reading is awesome. It can keep me occupied for the whole day. I have so manhy books to read but i just keep borrowing books from my school library anyway. I love that you have your own imagination when you're reading. You can make up in your mind how the characters look or how the settings look whereas in a movie, it's all just there and you have no imagination to explore.

Reading AND writing are two of my faveourite things to do, of course, I also love talking to my friends about books, that's fun too!
I don't thing there's a question of whether reading is cool or not, of course it is! Lots of my friends read ALOT including me and we've all got prety big vocabularies, can spell quite well, can write well, speak well, etc. But it's not just the academic side of it, it's FUN and keeps your brain more active than if you were watching people living together in a house talking about nothing in particular! People who read a lot are less likely to become zombies (people who sit infront of the tv all day and watch whatever happens to be on).

Of course it's cool...you can learn so much stuff, and enjoy yourself at the same time. And I love the way you can escape to a different world at the turn of a page. That's cool..

'Course it is. you learn so much from reading. it is a world within a world like TV but in your own hands, at your own pace, out of your selection. There is a great deal of freedom in reading... and writing, of course.
