1. Most everyone will recommend a book or two to read, but are there any you would tell people to avoid? I don't think so, because who am I to predict what someone else will like or even love? (Goodness knows, I've heard high praise for some weird and awful stuff, and I like some admittedly weird and awful stuff, sometimes because of its weird awfulness). If a book has themes or even passages that I know a particular person will find upsetting or unpleasant, I might warn about it, but leave the decision of whether to read to them, as others have for me.
2. If you take a book on vacation, are you more likely to take something you haven't read yet or an old favorite? Well, both. Lots of both. This is even more practical now with being able to cart quantities of ebooks wherever I go...
3. Do you read any genres by the season? Like horror around Halloween? Cozy Mysteries in the Winter? Romance in the Summer? Nope. I would never remember to wait that long, or to dig it out if I out it aside.
4. If you read a lot of Fiction do you prefer an author that has a series with the same character(s), or do you prefer stand-alone stories? I like both, though I guess my favourite authors do tend to go in for the former...
5. Is there a book that you wish you could read again, but experience it like it was the first time? My first Wodehouse, and I am not alone in that :)
