I guess I am at the other end of the spectrum from the OP. Books have been an important part of my life since I first began to read. I love all genres, but if I had to pick a favorite it would probably be history. By the way, my life is filled with family, friends, and activities. Saying that people that read have empty lives is like saying that people who golf must not enjoy life. I probably spend more hours per week golfing than I do reading. Reading enhances my enjoyment of life by teaching me new things, allowing me some escapism, and opening my mind to different viewpoints.
