Am I the only one who reads?!

The other day I attended a workshop for a new school I'm enrolling in; University of Phoenix. We had to fill out this survey type of paper for our first assignment called "Confessions of a College Student" and one of the questions was what is your favorite book.

I was in a room of about 12 people, 4 of them (including myself) were female and almost everyone had said at least once out loud "I don't read, I don't have a favorite book". It made me feel like I was the only person in the room who didn't even know where to begin their list of favorite books. Even my husband wrote on his paper "I don't read". Which he doesn't, it makes you realize how many people don't take the time to read a book for fun.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't imagine a life where I didn't read books!

I mean, I know it's a persons own preference if they read books for pleasure or not, but doesn't it just make you wonder why they don't?
