THis looked kind of fun, so I did it:

3 What book(s) do you NOT own that you wish you did?
Michael Connelly - Echo park
John Irving - A Son of the Circus (because I can't freakin' find it!)
4 Do you enjoy read-alongs and sharing with friends?
I like recommending books to my friends, and vice-versa. Read-alongs, not so much because I like to read at my own pace.
5 How much do you read? (no shame, be truthful)
fast (2 novels a month)
Faster than fast. More like lightspeed. Usually 2-3 books a week.

Tea is good.
7 Where do you read? (bathroom included, don't lie)
Couch, bed, train, park, coffee shop
8 What do you use as a bookmark?
A dollar bill. lol
9 Do you read more than one book at a time? How many?
I usually read more than one at a time, simply because I read a lot. I have a book on my desk at work, and about three hundred million at home.
10 List your favorite genres, from most liked to least liked.
Literary, mystery, western, fantasy, sci-fi
