Which do you prefer? (Quick answers–we’ll do more detail at some later date)
Reading something frivolous? Or something serious?
Mostly serious. If I'm in the mood for something 'frivolous', I normally go for Young Adult/Children's literature.
Paperbacks? Or hardcovers?
Hardcovers (although they're a pain to carry).
Fiction? Or Nonfiction?
Fiction.
Poetry? Or Prose?
Read more prose, love good poetry. Tough one.
Biographies? Or Autobiographies?
Autobiographies.
History? Or Historical Fiction?
Both.
Series? Or Stand-alones?
Standalone - it's less daunting.
Classics? Or best-sellers?
Classics.
Lurid, fruity prose? Or straight-forward, basic prose?
Straightforward, albeit lyrical.
Plots? Or Stream-of-Consciousness?
Both. Don't do preachy though.
Long books? Or Short?
A good book is a good book, irrespective of length. I do both.
Illustrated? Or Non-illustrated?
Mostly non-illustrated. However, I love encyclopedias, or those glossy art books ('coffee table' books).
Borrowed? Or Owned?
Owned. I hate feeling pressured to finish a book quickly, as opposed to reading it at my own pace. Plus, I love waking up and seeing a crowded bookshelf.
New? Or Used?
New, or at least it has to look new! Or, have a funky cover! Or, be one of my all-time favorites which has been signed by the author. Or, be a limited edition.
Happy Thursday, folks!
