I got this idea from Maggie over at Maggie Madly Writing. I’m procrastinating on another blog post or two, so this came along at a perfect time for me. 🙂
Would you rather only read trilogies or only read standalones?
Probably standalones. As I get older, I get more impatient. 🙂
Would you rather only read male or female authors?
I refuse to choose!
Would you rather shop at Barnes and Noble or Amazon?
Amazon. I was a Nook user for a while, but they just don’t have the selection of old out-of-print, out-of-copyright stuff that Amazon has.
Would you rather books were made into TV shows or movies?
TV shows, since I don’t really watch TV. The movies that have impressed me recently were either written for the screen, or they changed the book’s story a lot.
Would you rather read only 5 pages per day or 5 books per week?
Five pages a day, if they’re good. Who has time to read five books a week?
Would you rather be a professional author or reviewer?
Author.
Would you rather be a librarian or a bookseller?
Oh, librarian. I was raised by librarians.
Would you rather read only your favorite genre, or every other genre but your favorite?
If I have a favorite genre I guess it’s mysteries, since that’s what I write, so my preference would be to read everything else but mysteries. I already know about mysteries (and I never read contemporary ones anyway), and it’s the stuff that you bring in from outside that makes a genre vital and interesting.
Would you rather only read ebooks or physical books?
Ebooks. The convenience factor, and the ease of getting titles that are old and/or obscure.
That would be a good advantage of ebooks — getting older stuff, and of course having more room on your bookshelves and less weight to carry around.
True, though the biggest thing about the Kindle for me is newspapers. Riding the train to and from work, I can read stories from three different newspapers. Certainly beats trying to carry three newspapers around.
Plus, as I’ve talked about before, I use my Kindle to read my story drafts to me.
