8. Do you carry a book with you everywhere you go? Pretty much. I have a terror of being stuck somewhere with nothing to read.
Oh, me too! I used to always live in terror of finishing my book, so I'd often have an emergency backup book. Now I have a kindle with dozens of books. Win!
Gutenberg is amazing. At one stage I did quite a bit of proofreading for them at Distributed Proofreaders, which is another awesome idea.
I've taught Silas Marner at Year 10 and Y11 level, but it does tend to go "whoosh" past a lot of heads at that age, though they enjoy the mystery. It's well worth returning to.
Yes - I really ought to do some sort of reading round-up, but there are so many books I'd have to write about.
I thoroughly enjoyed Hunger Games and its sequels, though the ultimate conclusion is depressing, if all-too-plausible. No, I haven't read the book by Green.
And, yes - I've actually read almost everything Eliot wrote, at university if not since. I've taught Silas Marner a few times, too. Mary Anne Evans came from quite close to here - between Coventry and Hinckley, where you went to that Con. She is third in my beloved novelists list, after Austen and Dickens.

I should reread Silas Marner though-- I was probably too young to really "get" it when we read it in 10th grade.
