What is reading, anyway? Novels, comics, graphic novels, manga, e-books, audiobooks — which of these is reading these days? Are they all reading? Only some of them? What are your personal qualifications for something to be “reading” — why? If something isn’t reading, why not? Does it matter? Does it impact your desire to sample a source if you find out a premise you liked the sound of is in a format you don’t consider to be reading? Share your personal definition of reading, and how you came to have that stance.

I think any of those mentioned above would be considered reading. I'm not a huge comic book fan, or graphic novel for that matter, but you still have to read the story. I don't have any personal qualifications for "reading". If it has words, and you have to read them, then you are reading. That being said, I also consider audio books reading. I would much rather know somebody is listening to an audio book while driving than reading an actual paper book! lol!
I like audio books myself, I just don't have the opportunity to listen to them very often.

Interesting reflection on the medium of reading, I reflected on what reading was
I admit that sometimes you can catch me reading at a stoplight when it's red. I do it very rarely though. :-)
