Hey Rafonauts
A few questions for you on your reading habits.
1 - Approximately how many books do you read in the average month?
I read 1 but listen to 4-6
2 - Of those books, what ratio would be Sci-fi/Fantasy compared with Not SFF? (Ie SFF:NotSFF)
80%
3 - (with credit to Tom) Which of these do you read:
Fantasy
yes
Sci-fi
sometimes
Historical Fiction
rarely
Classics
sometimes... It was very hard to get through WAR AND PEACE!
Thrillers
rarely
Crime/Mystery
I have just recently read THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, and will read the next in the series, and will be listening to some sherlock holmes. Before this I had not read any crime/mystery
Other fiction stuff (like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro etc)
Dean Kootz,Max Brooks
Non-fiction
Some like Sarah Vowell, and David McClough (I loved THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD)
Graphic Novels
rarely
Manga
nope
Plays
no
Poetry
rarely
Short stories (please specify what genre they might belong to)
Dreamsongs George R R Martin, Legends series, once an a while the Magazine Locust
Magazines
yes
Newspapers
Sometimes
4 - Do you read every day?
Usually
5 - Do you find it easy to discuss the books you read?
If someone has read the same book
5a - If not, do you know what might make it easier?
6 - Do you buy books as soon as they are published?
Usually if it is the next book in a series I love, and once in a while a book that I have heard was excellent.
7 - What do you like to see in reviews?
I like to see an honest opinon of the reader. With no SPOILERS.
I would like to see some reveiws of audio books, whether the person reading makes the story come to life, the flow of the story, or how they bring out individal charactors.
Thanks.
