1 - Approximately how many books do you read in the average month?

Doing the math, it looks like I've average about 6 books a month over the last couple of years. For some reason I read more in the fall.

2 - Of those books, what ratio would be Sci-fi/Fantasy compared with Not SFF? (Ie SFF:NotSFF)

About 80:20, once again over the last two years.

3 - (with credit to Tom) Which of these do you read:

Fantasy
Sci-fi
Historical Fiction
Classics
Thrillers (rare)
Crime/Mystery (very rare)
Non-fiction
Graphic Novels
Plays
Short stories - typically sci-fi/fantasy, occasionally horror

4 - Do you read every day?

Probably five days a week.

5 - Do you find it easy to discuss the books you read?

Yes, but not really in-depth.

5a - If not, do you know what might make it easier?

Practice! Also, non-laziness. That's my current hurdle I think.

6 - Do you buy books as soon as they are published?

Only for authors that I already know I really like, or series I've been reading for a long time (and also really like).

7 - What do you like to see in reviews?

Basic ideas of what the book's about, so I know if it's something that will interest me. Honestly, other than that, I just kind of look at how much the reviewer liked it - there's nothing else specific that I look for.

Sometimes I skim. I'm a terrible person. :[

Thanks.

You're welcome!
