The Friday Times has started a section in their weekly in which it used to ask questions to the famous people about their book habits. I was tempted and decided to answer those questions on my blog; however, didn’t get time to do this sooner. But when I found the questionnaire on the Goodreads I couldn’t resist myself.
Q: Hardback or Paperback?
A: Both.
Q: Locally owned bookshop or big name chain store?
A: I usually buy from a big chain store as I work in one.
Q: Bookmark or dog-ear?
A: Dog-ear? Never! Bookmarks.
Q: Alphabetize by author or alphabetize by title or random?
A: Randomly. I prefer that the colours of spines and the height match.
Q: Keep, throw away, or sell?
A: Keep!
Q: Keep dust jacket or toss it?
A: oh I just love the dust jackets.
Q: Read with dust jacket or remove it?
A: I remove it while reading (to prevent damage) and put it back on when it rests on the shelf.
Q: Short story or novel?
A: Novel.
Q: Collection (short stories by the same author) or anthology (short stories by different authors)?
A: Although I am not a fan of short stories. But have read Collection and Anthologies both. I think I will prefer anthology to taste different flavours.
Q: Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks?
A: one more page…until I doze off.
Q: “It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”?
A: Although the first one appeals but Once Upon a Time has its own charm.
Q: Buy or borrow?
A: Buy.
Q: New or used?
A: New. Used, in case don’t have enough amount to buy new.
Q: Buying choice: book reviews, recommendation or browse?
A: Though I like to get recommendations but most of the time I follow my instinct while browsing.
Q: Tidy ending or cliffhanger?
A: I am such an emotional wreck that I feel unable to start a new book for days because I live in the last book’s (with the tidy ending) world. A cliffhanger will be a mental trauma.
Q: Morning, afternoon or nighttime reading?
A: All day, everyday.
Q: Single volume or series?
A: Single. Though I like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Q: Favorite series?
A: Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It is the only series I read.
Q: Favorite book of which nobody else has heard?
A: *thinking
Q: Favorite books read last year?
A: Errr…this is difficult. I read five books in total. And, all were very good but I think the best one was… *thinking…confuse….there is a tie between Mrs Funnybones and Me Before You.
Q: Favorite books of all time?
A: Oh! *sigh…there are many…to name a few…Peer-e-Kamil, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Wonder, … Mrs Funnybones, Me Before You…the list is quite big indeed!
