reading

The ability to read may be the most common skill of all Technorati visitors.

Offline reading of books, magazines, and newspapers is a common activity for many bloggers and they often happily blog their reading adventures. From reviewing books to sharing passages or concepts, there is a common passion for the written word. Some bloggers list their reading plans.

Online reading includes both blogs and non-blog web pages and documents. Some documents can be read online or downloaded for offline reading. Frequently these use formats such as Adobe's Acrobat PDF, like How CGI Works.

For some bloggers, reading refers to fortune telling or divination technique. Examples include numerology, tarot, and astrology.
