Le memê du jour
Nicked this from shinyjenni!
01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
No, because that's just WRONG. Also, I don't want my books to be smeared with whatever is it that I'm eating at the moment. I do usually drink water, though.
02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
Yeah, it kind of does horrify me. If ever you feel the need to mark some excerpt, why, use a post-it instead, please!
03. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
I have bookmarks scattered all over the place, so it's likely that if you open a book of mine, you'll find one lying there (probably because I started reading it and never went back). But I may have used my remote control too for several times. I also lie it down flat open when I nip away somewhere for just a couple of minutes -- paperbacks only, no can't do with hardbacks.
04. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Always fiction; I'm not too fond of non-fiction, meself.
05. Hardcopy or audiobooks?
Hardcopy! I find it very hard to concentrate on audiobooks, as I can never concentrate too much on people reading things out aloud.
06. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
End of the chapters, for my brain/OCD tells me that if I stop at random, I'll forget bits that I've already read, or that I won't be able to follow the rest of the story properly.
07. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Write it down to look it up later? Just try to infer what it means from the rest of the sentence, and keep going?
I infer it from the context, and try to remember to look it up later (alas, for I never remember to do that, it's a bad case of Failing Memory, you see).
08. What are you currently reading?
*eyedart* Nothing. *gazes thoughtfully at book pile*
09. What is the last book you bought?
Jane Eyre ~*deluxe*~ edition. IT'S SO PRETTY.
10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?
I ... well, start one book, then pick up another, and usually manage to completely forget about the first one. I have probably more than six books left unfinished. I know!
11. Do you like re-reading books?
WHY YES, DEFINITELY. I never get tired of some books, why should I not re-read them?
