I write. I write lots!
I just like something that'll keep my interest. That's what I'll read. I won't read chick lit though. Or Twilight. Blegh.

i like the classics but only reason they interest me is purely because i want to find out why they're a classic lol.
i haven't read twilight, it's only so damn popular is because a hot guy stars in the movie haha.
now dumbledore was a sexy beast! hence the HP success ...hehe

It's only popular because it's teens-that-act-like-adults vampire romance with SPARKLY VAMPIRES ZOMGZ. Fail. Also Edward's actor is UGLY. :{

1. Interesting dramas that have numerous dimensions to them.
2. Haha, twice, years ago. First was a kid's mystery and the 2nd, a dystopian fiction. I was just 14 or something, I got a good 30 pages(double-spaced) into the second one and had a lot of fun, but never had the attention span to keep going. the writing and grammar was sub-par anyway...

I couldn't even get past half of Twilight. Nothing wrong with the people who like it, but I just couldn't stand it. :confused:
My favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye, so I guess I like a book where you can really analyze a character and figure him/her out. I think Holden is a very interesting character and going into his mind was fascinating. It feels like a treat. :)
I also love reading plays and screenplays. I've got a lot of stories in my mind, and I've tried writing several times, but I'm afraid I'm just no good at it. :confused:

Stories don't really grab me, but I have tried writing several books. I don't have the attention span. I can't even finish short stories. I end up with lots of short, random, descriptive paragraphs that resemble poems, or weird-o snippets of things that also resemble poems, but neither are really intended to be poems at all. :thinking:

I completly agree with you, I'm the first to say usually I'm a fan of the vampire genre, vampires should be evil and fun as well as sexy, the vampires in Twilight were just shit, I haven't even watched the movie but just from the adverts I want to jump into the movie, stake him, cut his head off and set him on fire.

Stories about people's daily life which inspire me to think the
real meaning of life and all these love, friendship, values, faiths, our believes,
pain, sadness, anger and growing-up stuff of life.
That's why I love the story of One Tree Hill.
