Books

1. Do you prefer to read hardcover or paperback books?
I'm indifferent really... most of the books I get end up being paperback though.


2. Do you have a favorite place to read in your home?
Again, indifferent. Most of the time, I'm on my bed though.


3. Do you have a favorite place to read away from, or outside of, your home?
Not so much a favorite, but I do a lot reading on the bus.


4. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
Not normally.


5. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
Nope, I don't do it. It just sounds wrong and stupid and destructive (not always bad, but in this case, it is).


6. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
If I own it, I use a bookmark (actual or just something close by). If nothing's close by, I'll go find something. If it's a library book, I'm more likely to use dog-ears if I can't find anything.


7. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Either or. I used to prefer fiction, though recently I've been reading a bit more nonfiction.


8. Hardcopy or audiobooks?
Hardcopy. Never tried audiobooks.


9. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
If I really need to put it down, I do. Otherwise, I'll read to the end of a chapter (or the book) before putting it down.


10. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Write it down to look it up later? Just try to infer what it means from the rest of the sentence, and keep going?
Just infer it from the sentence.


11. What are you currently reading?
Sadly, nothing but textbooks. Need to go get a couple Agatha Christie books though. Or maybe Who Killed Roger Ackroyd? or something. Maybe another Dave Berry book.


12. What is the last book you bought?
Other than a MCAT practice book? Um... it's been a while. Moneyball by Michael Lewis maybe?


13. What is your all time favorite book?
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Moneyball is a close second. Oh, and Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. I like a ton of books...


14. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?
Can I assume we're not including textbooks? I can read a couple at a time if I really want, but normally I try to get through one at a time.


15. Do you like re-reading books?
Most definitely!
