I talk about books to whoever will listen to me rant :) I just went on about Divergent to my associate at work for a solid half an hour!

I try and talk about the book when I am done. Usually the people around me don't really take an interest but I attempt to tell them anyways. I feel like they are trying to get out of reading so I try and talk about books that I think they will like.

Post by CrescentMoon »

I love discussing books after reading them. I really enjoy hearing other people's opinions on the story and the characters and it's also really thought provoking. Sometimes, people have opinions and viewpoints that make me think more deeply about the book, and I end up seeing the story under a different light. It's really cool to have other points of view and see how people can interpret them differently.

I would like to talk about the books that I read, but no one that I know is really interested so I usually keep it to myself.

It depends on what I'm reading. If it's just a fluff read then I will usually just read it and move on. If it is a thought-provoking book then I may discuss it in part or whole with others; especially if I still have questions about what I've read.

I like discussing the books I read with other people especially when I'm reading it with other people at the same time. It's good to share with other your thoughts and points of view and when you're reading with other people at the same time it makes it a lot more exciting.

I talk to my sister about it sometimes, but not often.

Often we both read the same book, one after another, and we don't find much to talk about. unless it's one or two lines to give our opinion.

I will discuss with my friends about a book after reading and understand the subject of the book. I will give briefings of the book, which is useful to them. When ever a particular discussion is going on, if required i will tell briefings my previous readings.

I like discussing books. I take a lot of book recommendations from my brother so that I know I'll have someone to talk about them with when I'm done.

I LOVE TO DISCUSS BOOKS AFTER I READ THEM. Unfortunately nobody is usually around to discuss it with me :/

Latest Review: "Vietnam Memoirs: Part 1" by Don Bonsper

Post by Katherine E Wall »

I will tell someone about the book, if I think it is something they might be interested in, but I don't usually discuss the book, until someone else has actually read it. I don't like giving summaries to them about the story, as they can't bring any new insight to it, and I think that can become monotonous to the one listening. When I discuss books, I want to come away from the conversation with new knowledge, insights, and wisdom. This also means, the book is something that is thought-provoking.

That's right, I have a muse. It is spelled MusE. My writing is influenced by the interactions of people I meet - us and ME.

Every time I finish a book I head straight to Goodreads and record my thoughts. Then I see if any of my friends have read it and I dive into a conversation about it. For me it's one of the best parts of reading. Seeing if everyone else liked a certain secondary character, or which couple they were routing for and if you agreed. For me, if I don't talk about the book straight after I read it, I might forget a few details which is why I'd rather discuss it right after I read it.

I would love to discuss but nobody around me is into reading books. :( Still this does not stop me from blabbering how I felt about a book. :lol: I convert whatever I want to share in form of a general topic or best I start telling what I wanted and what happened. People listen willingly or unwillingly but I feel relieved after sharing my thoughts. lol
