Do you have the same?
When you start reading a book and your in it, you can't stop reading.
I read while I'm cooking.

The rare times I'm cooking, I pull up a playlist of music on YouTube on the kitchen computer.

Just finished:

I used to be.  Lately, however, I just don't have much time to read so getting through even a short book is taking seemingly forever.

I've been known to read while I was cooking. Problem is I can only find time to read on the occasional evening. If I sit down to read in the evenings it makes me tired and I fall asleep.

Me too!  My wife can lay in the bed and read for hours.  I am lucky if I make it ten pages before the book drops, hits me in the face, and I decide to put it away and go to sleep!

I start reading in bed, get tired a couple minutes later, then I start wanting to read again…

Exactly the same thing here! I often wake up after midnight to find my wife has been reading for several hours...I sometimes have to make her go to sleep.

That's what I do for years and years, reading in bed.
Sometimes very late because I want to finish the book.

Santa Montefiori - The Affair.

William Shakespeare - "Hamlet"

That's easy for you to say.  (does it mean "Friends forever"?)

Finder's Fee - Alton Gansky

Yes Gary, that's very good of you.
See your Dutch is better than you thought. 
Vriendinnen are female friends.

Finished "Mustaine" last weekend, and was ELATED to finally get "My Life With Deth" by Ellefson in the mail 2 days ago. I'm already in chapter 5.
Man, these guys put out some amazing thrash metal all the while being loaded on coke, meth, pot and alcohol ! How in the world do you create such perfect music being THAT loaded !?!?
Nevertheless, both books have happy endings with Jesus being the Savior to their foolish lifestyles.

Great books I'd recommend to anyone who was a teen in the 80s and loved that style of music (which I thoroughly did/do)

 (I must confess that Google translator did all the work)  

Flowers In The Rain and other stories - Rosamunde Pilcher

George Orwell - 1984
also part of English class, like most of what I've read lately

^Ugh that book is SO depressing!  It's pretty good though.

Love Orwell's dystopian view of a future society! (much like Aldous Huxely's Brave New World...leave it to the socialists to paint such a bleak view of the future). I've probably read 1984 four or five times since I was a senior in High School.
