would you rather? — reading edition

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.
