Are you addicted to reading? Not the unhealthy one like stated here but the reading anything you find or see kind of addiction. This is a form of bibliophilia otherwise known as being a bookworm. Yes.When I'm not addicted to Project Gutenburg, or pirating books that I can't find in the library or can't afford, or reading fanfics, I generally read around five books a week.
I didn't like primary school. When I was seven, they gave me the book "Zip the Frog" to read.
You know it's funny though, our store is selling Where the Wild Things Are, and adults are buying it like mad, reminiscing about it as a having read it as a child. If you're unaware though, they are making it into a movie: Where the Wild Things Are @ IMDB
I remember in Grade 7, our teacher handed out books to the class based on there assumed(?) reading level or perhaps current grade or something. Needless to say, I got one of the easier books, and was disappointed, needless to say I petitioned to the teacher and got a longer (and I guess) more difficult book. It was definitely a good change. Both books however were historical fiction.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted, but I certainly love reading. :3 It does have to be a good book, however. :P

When I was eight, we were forced to read something about a Blue Boy short story. It was infuriating. We were not allowed to read the whole dam thing but we had to go chapter by chapter. I could have finished the book in 5 minutes flat but then our teacher forced us to do it one chapter per day. It took the whole class two weeks. It was hell.
Although, because of my 'bookwormishness' anything goes when I'm desperate to read something. A children's book can be finished in 2 minutes if I'm bored. My Harry Potter novels, I used to finish reading them just 6 hours after we bought them.
Which reminds me, Are you a speed reader? How fast can you finish a 700 page book?

No, not at all. I read what I want to read and what I read isn't just anything. I absolutely dread any type of biography or non-fiction book and I prefer to stay away from romance novels, so I'm not a bookworm. I do read a lot though; mostly sci-fi and fantasy with a little bit of realistic fiction occasionally.
Are you a speed reader? How fast can you finish a 700 page book?
Let us see...I read the last Harry Potter book in less than 16 hours (breaks included in that 16 hours, so more like 13ish with the hour or two of sleep I got and the 30 minutes I took to eat my meals), so you tell me. (I got it at midnight the night it came out and didn't put it down until 16 hours later)

No, but I tend to read at good steady rate. I'd get bored of reading, if I read too slow. I can't even remember how long it took me to read Harry Potter. It is an estimate, but maybe it took me 15ish hours to finish the last book? Not sure, perhaps even 12. Regardless, I didn't finish it in 1 siting.
