Whereupon you learn just how boring and uneducated I can be… hee.<\/p>\n
Hardback or Paperback?<\/b>
\nDoesn’t matter. I devour them both.<\/p>\n
Highlight or Underline?<\/b>
\nNeither in the books – we’re talking sell back value people! That and I can never find a highlighter when I need one. IN general, if it MUST be, it’s usually underlined.<\/p>\n
Lewis or Tolkien?<\/b>
\nI’m probably the biggest dweeb in the world, but I’ve never read Tolkien.<\/p>\n
E.B. White or A.A. Milne?<\/b>
\nErm. Should I admit I had to look up who these people were? Hey! Quit laughing – Some days I can’t remember my OWN name. heh. Ah – Charlotte’s Web, vs. Pooh. Sorry – it’s all about Eeyore, man. Though I love CHarlotte’s web too.<\/p>\n
T.S. Eliot or e.e. cummings?<\/b>
\n*scratches head* Um.<\/p>\n
Stephen King or Dean Koontz?<\/b>
\nI like them both, but for me, since an english teacher handed me It<\/i> in highschool, it’s all about King, baybee. We’ve a sick twisted relationship, the King and I. Course, I’ve still never forgiven my cousin for sitting behind King and his wife in a movie theater and not bothering to get his autograph for me. Asshole.<\/p>\n
Barnes & Noble or Borders?<\/b>
\nDoesn’t matter – closest one of either to me is 3 hours and a slippery mountain pass away.<\/p>\n
Waldenbooks or B. Dalton?<\/b>
\nthe fucks b. dalton? And see above for Walden.<\/p>\n
Amazon or Powell?s?<\/b>
\nThe fuck’s powells? Amazon, baybee.<\/p>\n
Fantasy or Science Fiction?<\/b>
\nFantasy, baybee, followed with healthy doses of Sci-Fi.<\/p>\n
Horror or Suspense?<\/b>
\nBoth! Dammit, I like my horror suspenseful!<\/p>\n
Bookmark or Dogear?<\/b>
\nAh – the cause of much marital discord! dogear, much to The Asshole’s HORROR and eternal consternation. Whew, and when I leave a book open, face down on the counter? I swear, he thinks it’s grounds for divorce. hee. He’s one of those weirdo’s that won’t crack the spine to get the book open far enough to read comfortably either…<\/p>\n
Hemingway or Faulkner?<\/b>
\n……longwinded high falutin’… never make it through either easily.<\/p>\n
Fitzgerald or Steinbeck?<\/b>
\nErm. See above.<\/p>\n
John Irving or John Updike?<\/b>
\nWho?<\/p>\n
Homer or Plato?<\/b>
\nGAH. Can’t I have Goodkind, Heinlein and McCaffrey instead?<\/p>\n
Geoffrey Chaucer or Edmund Spenser?<\/b>
\nagain… see above. *makes face*<\/p>\n
Pen or Pencil?<\/b>
\nWhatevers closest at hand. Oddly, I find my handwriting better when I use a pencil – no pressure, because it can be easily erased I guess.<\/p>\n
Looseleaf or Notebook?<\/b>
\nNotebook – unless of course I’m just sitting here at my desk, and then? It’s all about the post-its baybee. I got them super sticky, multicolored jobbies all OVER the place.<\/p>\n
Alphabetize: By Author or By Title?<\/b>
\nHAHAHAHAHAH! We just throw em on a shelf. Except for my Goodkind- he sits right here on my desk next to me.<\/p>\n
Novella or Epic<\/b>
\nEpics! THough nothing beats a quick bathroom break Novella. heh.<\/p>\n
Fiction or Non-fiction?<\/b>
\nFiction, totally, all the way. If I want reality, I can just look out my front door – shit that’s seen there is stranger then any fiction for sure.<\/p>\n
Historical Biography or Historical Romance?<\/b>
\nRomance. Sorry – give me light and fluffy.<\/p>\n
A Few Pages per Sitting or Finish at Least a Chapter?<\/b>
\nAll about the chapters. And being late for something because there’s just a few more pages left and it’s THAT good… And I’m all about getting zero sleep to finish a really good book too.<\/p>\n
Buy or borrow?<\/b>
\nSteal. Just kidding. heh. Buy when I can, borrow when I can’t. I’m a big re-reader, I want my books HERE all the time so I can just pick them up and reread my favorites whenever I want.<\/p>\n
Book Reviews or Word of Mouth?<\/b>
\nBoth, but I trust word of mouth more.<\/p>\n
Audio or Hardcopy<\/b>
\nHardcopy – i cannot ‘listen’ to a book! the voice throws me off, and then puts me to sleep.<\/p>\n
Screen (computer, PDA, etc) or Hardcopy<\/b>
\nFor reading anything longer then blogsized entries – hardcopy. Too much reading online makes my eyes go all squiggly…. though I do it all the time. *L* No wonder I need to get a new perscription for me glasses, hm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
