Colbertine is correct about "Do I?", but a statement about what I think really isn�t appropriate for having a tag question, because you don�t ask someone else what you think. On the other hand, it does work as a rhetorical question. Bruce |

The only possibility for me is to place the tag related to the activity of reading so, if you are talking to someone it could be as it follows I don�t think reading books is boring... is it? the negative form in the first statement covers the activity of reading as if you were saying reading isn�t boring therefore the �tag� is affirmative. That�s my opinion. Cheers |

I totally agree with jadiafa because the tag here is more appropriate about reading rather than on what I think. |

I agree with both Bruce and Jadiafa. I don�t think reading books is boring , do I? rhetorical , as Bruce says. I don�t think reading is boring, do you? I don�t think reading is boring, is it? Reading isn�t boring, is it? |
