Who in your life if anyone do you share your love of reading and books with? Boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, friend, brother, sister??
My Mom is really into books, not as much as I am but I do get to talk to her about them which is nice, My friends are not so much into reading like me, thats why Im so thankful for this board, I don't have a boyfriend right now, but Id love to have a boyfriend who loves books too

My mom!
I have a couple of friends that love to read, too, but we usually don't have discussions about books, we just recommend ones.

Unfortunately, no one.. No one around me love reading books as much as I do.. well, my friends don't read almost nothing, so.. only one friend of mine reads more than book/month, so I sometimes talk with her about books, but she doesn't read books like Jane Austen style or Orwell style, but we are discussing Twilight at the moment . I'm really thankful for this board, too and for shelfari, because I can share my opinion with people there.

My Mum loves to read but we tend to have different tastes. A few of my friends like to read too but none of them read as much as I do.

My fiance doesn't read much. The way I love books is the way he loves Sports. Works out perfectly because I don't mind the sports channel being on all the time.
I share my interest with some friends and my aunt.

Some of my friends do like to read, but perhaps not as much as I do. I mostly share my love of books with the awesome members of Rory's Book Club

Ben reads more than I do. I think our shared love of reading is part of the reason we get along so well. My mom likes to read, but not really the same type of books. And my grandma. Some of my favorite vacations were going to the Cape Cod with my mom to visit my grandma and spending the day reading with them. I have a few friends that like to read, but not like you all here. Like Isa said, you are all my reading friends.

Well, I push books onto anyone I know, but no one really loves to read. My friends are quite proud to have read 5 books in a year! So, yay for the RBC!

My mom reads quite alot, mostly 'chick lit' and stories about peoples lives in Finland before/during war. My others sister really likes fantasy, romance and chick lit and other sister reads horse books for teens and war books. I have few friends who likes to read, and we have discussed and recommended books to each other but we don't keep in touch so much anymore, so it is just me and my books

Mostly I share my love for books with you guys, and as so many of you have pointed out before; you guys are great:)
Apart from that my entire family are readers actually, so I guess I'm kinda lucky there. But I discuss books much more often here anyways.

I have two really good friends, who read. No one in my family is a reader and they are actually quite annoyed about me loving books so much. Because my parents pay for the books I buy and order and I prefer reading to doing the dishes

^I read enough that my parents refuse to pay for my books. They tell me to go to the library, which I do, but it's nice to own one that you really like.

I have gotten my mom to read more, but she doesn't have a lot of time to do so, except at bedtime when she's already tired. My sister and my dad don't really read at all. It's a shame. I have gotten one of my friends into reading a little more, but she still doesn't really read all that much. So basically, you all are the only ones I share my love of reading with.

Nobody really. From time to time my mom will take book reccomendations from me but we have very different tastes and she does not read as much as I do. My whole family reads but I am the most avid reader. My dad reads the same coupld of books over again. My brother only likes sports and fantasy books. My sister is nine so we can't talk about books! Her tastes are different from mine when I was her age. On the bright side, if I had people in real life to talk about books with I probably wouldn't have started my book blog or joined here!
