Great little meme from Organising Chaos (who found it via Digitalist)
Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
I do snack/eat meals while I read, but it’s hard to say if I have a “favorite” reading snack. If I had to make a choice – popcorn.
Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
I do highlight notes in books for school
How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
Bookmark. I have a nice collection of bookmarks.
Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Both – but I tend to read fiction faster.
Hard copy or audiobooks?
Hard copy, but I also have a small collection of e-books (I own a Kindle).
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?
I can put a book down at any point, though if what I am reading is for school I try to finish the chapter or section, just so I don’t lose context.
If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
Only if I can’t figure it out from the context of the passage.
What are you currently reading?
Mostly school readings, but I am starting “The Hunger Games.” And eventually I would like to finish “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”
What is the last book you bought?
“The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins
Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?
More than one, but that is a bad habit I need to break as I tend to start things and not finish them.
Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?
I like to read on my commute (1 hour each way) since that’s my quiet time, my “Kate Time” and I can concentrate. I tried reading in bed, but I tend to doze off within 5 minutes!
Do you prefer series books or stand alone books?
I have no preference.
Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?
I’m a big fan of Michael Chabon (American author), and while I have not had much time to read everything he has written, I love The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. I read that after visiting Pittsburgh for the first time and the book just “came to life” for me. When considering classics, I always recommend The Great Gatsby and On the Road. For music lovers, I always recommend Marooned: The Next Generation of Desert Island Discs, a collection of essays by music writers/critics answering the question, “If you could taken only one CD to a deserted island, what would it be?” (Full disclosure: My friend Ned contributed an essay to this collection.)
How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)
I have some genre organization – my knitting books and patterns are all kept on one shelf, and my museum guides/catalogs are also all kept together. I do like to keep books in a series together, and I am trying to organize all my other art books.
