In my life, the two people I am closest to that share my love of reading are my mom and my best friend Emma. My mom is probably the main reason I am a book lover. She always encouraged my reading, read aloud to me, listened to me read, and bought me books and took me to the library. She's a librarian now, and we talk about books all the time, and have very similar likes and dislikes. My best friend Emma and I have nearly identical reading habits and tastes, including book buying. She's the only person (besides everyone here!) who can relate to having WAY more books than one could possibly read. We both buy a lot of books. We read a lot too, but it's impossible to keep up with all the books we buy! Our tastes are practically identical, which makes recommendations very fun. We both also love kid's lit. A few of my other close friends really like to read too, but are not nearly as book obsessed as Emma and I. Also, four of my favorite female coworkers like to read, and we pass books around between us and talk about books as well.

Mainly two girlfriends and my mum. I borrow from and lend to them. We don't always have the same tastes in things, but that makes it sort of interesting because then I end up reading something I might not have given a chance otherwise and often find I enjoyed it after all. My boyfriend reads, but for some reason he's never that into actually talking about books. He mainly just listens to me talk about books which is ok I guess...

All my friends read, but we don't have similar tastes. My mum reads, but very different books. I guess I could say that I share my love of books with my sister.

no one really... except for you guys My dad loves books, but ther are different kind of boosk (books about cars and architecture and so on..) some friends read, but different books... and I rarely meet someone who has read the same book as I have.. but i don't mind.. I don't need to talk about books, as long as I can just read them.

My dad, my bestfriend (although we mostly read different kind of things now, we used to have the same tastes in books as children) and my cousin. I really enjoy talking of books with my dad. My brother and my mum like books but they don't read much. I like working at local library because you meet people that love books, it's great
