I have a two-parter today, and some of your anwers I probably already know from another thread, so will do that one first...
What is your favorite genre of books (newpapers, magazines, and "I don't read, I watch TV" DO count for this one)?
How do you like to read? Do you prefer a print copy or an ereader?
It is really hard for me to choose a favorite genre. There are several that I enjoy, but the top two right now would be cozy mysteries and really well-researched historical fiction. I enjoy speculative fiction as well, and once read a really interesting book about a man living in a 21st century where Rome had never fallen.
I don't own an ereader. I probably should get one, if for no other reason than checking out an author/series before I invest in a print copy. But...I will NEVER go totally electronic when it comes to reading. I love books. Physical books. I love the weight and heft of them in my hands, I love the tiny anticipation when I turn the page. Sometimes, when I really enjoy a passage, I hug my books to my chest. I love the way full bookcases look in a room. And I don't have to worry about dropping a print book in the bathtub, where I do much of my reading. I can replace MOST any print book for about $4, or at most, half the cover price!
