Hey Rafonauts
One person's Rafonaut is another's Rafhole.
1 - Approximately how many books do you read in the average month?
2-3, usually. Sometimes I read only one, sometimes I can get through 4.2 - Of those books, what ratio would be Sci-fi/Fantasy compared with Not SFF? (Ie SFF:NotSFF)
5%-95%3 - (with credit to Tom) Which of these do you read:
Fantasy
Moderately. I read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn this year, I keep up with Wheel of Time and Song of Ice and Fire and I try occasional other books.
Sci-fi
Almost never.
Historical Fiction
Rarely.
Classics
I make sure I read a few every year.
Thrillers
Rarely, though I am finishing up Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.
Crime/Mystery
Almost never - I read a few Agatha Christie novels and that's it for the whole genre.
Other fiction stuff (like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro etc)
Not sure what you mean by that
Non-fiction
Frequently. I tend to read as much non-fiction as fiction, and in some years much more.
Graphic Novels
Never.
Manga
LOL. Never, ever.
Plays
I avoid reading plays because I think that by their nature they should be watched.
Poetry
Moderately. I try to read poetry from time to time.
Short stories (please specify what genre they might belong to)
Sometimes, but not often - I read O. Henry short stories last year.
Magazines
The Economist
Newspapers
only online - NYT, WSJ are the only ones that come to mind
4 - Do you read every day?
Generally.
5 - Do you find it easy to discuss the books you read?
YES!
5a - If not, do you know what might make it easier?
6 - Do you buy books as soon as they are published?
Usually, but you can't always know you're going to be interested in something when it debuts.
7 - What do you like to see in reviews?
T&A
Thanks.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
