Book meme!
Ganked from cuddyclothes.
A meme about reading and books and shit.
1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
I snack whenever. Some of those times I happen to be reading. I guess the best thing to eat while reading is something dry that isn't going to get crumbs and condiments and grease everywhere, but god forbid I eat anything that logical. I eat sandwiches and pizzas while I read.
2. What is your favorite drink while reading?
DIET COKE
3. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
I don't find much occasion to mark up books, but they end up getting marked up anyway. Random pen marks, fingerprints. Sometimes I'll leave a glass on the back of a paperback book and leave a bad ass little ring light brown right there.
But I hardly ever write like. Notes and shit in the margins or anything. Unless I'm doodling or something. And then it's usually penises.
4. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ear? Laying the book flat open?
I dog-ear that shit.
5. Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Both?
Fiction all day, all the time. WIZURDSSSS ANDDDD DEMONSSSSS
6. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of a chapter, or can you stop anywhere?
If a book is so good that I just HAVE to read the end of a chapter, I probably won't put it down till it's done.
7. Are you a person to throw a book across the room or on the floor if the author irritates you?
Now I'm just picturing a person throwing a book across a room because it irritated them. I mean I do that with video games, but gosh. lol.
8. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?
Nope. If I really can't figure out my own meaning, I'll google it a few weeks later when I remember.
9. What are you currently reading?
I'M TRYING TO READ GOOD OMENS. I'M TRYING YOU GUYS. OH GOD.
I'm on like e-book page 6. *headdesk*
10. What is the last book you bought?
The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory I got like, to chapter 2. I felt super smart while I was actually reading it though. ^_^ I was like, *rubs chin*, "Hm-Hmmmm. Yes. It all makes perfect sense now."
11. Are you a person that reads one book at a time, or can you read more than one?
I can only do one book at a time, but sometimes I'll abandon a book halfway through, meaning to come back to it after I'm done another book, but then just never come back to it. Half my books are orphans.
12. Do you have a favorite time/place to read?
AT NIGHT, in the wee hours, in the eleventh hour. When everyone else slumbers. Yes. *creepface*
13. Do you prefer series books or stand-alones?
I don't really have a preference, but I tend to not get into books that have more than 6 or 8 books in the series. Except Goosebumps, when I was a kid. And Dragonlance, but I don't really read anything past the Third Age (cuz I'm a snob) so that's only like... 12 books I guess?
14. Is there a specific book or author you find yourself recommending over and over?
STEVEN KING STEVEN KING STEVEN KING. anything and everything. Except anything he recently wrote. For some reason I'm not a huge fan of his Dark Tower stuff. I know everyone else likes it but. I don't know. Like I said I'm a snob.
15. How do you organize your books? By genre, title, author's last name, etc?
Organize?
Dude, books are lying everywhere in my house. In piles. I mean, we have bookshelves, but that's just for the books that I'm never gonna read.
