Love of reading books is not weird.

[Agenaton member]

As for me,No.

Loving books is not weird in my opinion. There is nothing strange about it. That's why they are written.

[Mary Garrison]

Not sure about weird, but I definitely think it expands the brain more to read instead of just watch a movie. So maybe smarter, but not weird.

cool... smart group

I don't think it's weird to live reading books, but then again I'm a little weird, so maybe it is?

[Bookybug]

Haha...so adorable...book lovers always have a way of expressing better than the rest

I don't think it is "weird" as much as unusual for the times we live in.

It is hard to grasp sometimes because we lack the experience of living in a time when there was no television, movies, radios, recorded music, or even photographs, but if one takes the time to consider what life back then was like it would be easy to see why more people took to reading for entertainment and escape. Today, with so many other forms of distraction, most people are reluctant to spend time reading when they can be entertained in other ways which are less time-consuming and require less effort such as movies. It may take several days to read a book, but you can watch a movie in an hour and a half and, for the most part, experience the same story in cinematic form.

Most of my cousins are in their teens and they're actually reading more because of phone apps like Kindle and iBooks. So no, I don't really think it's weird.

I find those who read are certainly different than those who don't (not criticizing those who don't, just saying there are differences). Though, I don't think readers are often considered weird.

I do not know if book-lovers are different than other people, but I can say this much that reading books really change our outlook of the world. While I have always been encouraged to read books, I have seen people finding book-readers nerdy or geeky! I often become self-concious while reading in a public bus, or some other crowded place, but I read anyway! Even I have seen people who are themselves bookaholics, yet my reading speed/reading habit caused a few raised eyebrows among them. I don't know if I am weird or they are, or may be it is just a matter of different perspectives?

No it is not; although there was a time, around the time when Beauty and the Beast was made that the love of reading was considered weird among the females. The society felt that woman should cook, clean, of take care of babies and few girls went to school. That was why belle was considered weird. Besides there is nothing wrong with being weird. I wear my weird barge proudly.

[Bookybug]

with time things seems to be changing for good....

I don't think that the love of reading is necessarily weird, but I think that when you are known to love reading you are classified in a certain way. As a more serious person.

To me, reading is not weird. It's one of the best things ever.
