Picked up this meme Via Organising Chaos / WoodsieGirlDo you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?Does a nice glass of red wine, a cold beer, or a cup of Earl Grey tea (depending on time of year/location) count?Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?Whilst horrify might be too strong a word, I’m not personally a writing in books fan. However, that said, if you own the book in question then it you want to write in it then that’s your choice, just don’t do it to my books or books you borrow from libraries.How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?Bookmark of some sort – be it an actual bookmark or a scrap of paper, old postcard etc. I’m a bit of a book nazi where it comes to breaking spines, dog-eras and the like, and will tend not to lend books to people that I suspect do such things. Basically books don’t last that long these days – all the acid in the paper etc – and last even less time when treated badly. But, again as above, if it’s your book then do what you like.Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?Both, although I learn more towards fictionHard copy or audiobooks?Still a hardcopy man, but I do enjoy the occasional audiobook too – good for long walks (if alone) and also for in car entertainment too. Alan Alda reading his memoirs was fun.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 prefer to finish off a chapter or at least get to a natural break in the text. Of course, sometimes this is not practicable so I just put it down whenever I have to.If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?I’d love to lie and say of course I do, but alas in truth I will usually not bother. I often intend to, but have usually moved on so quickly that I forget to go back and do so.What are you currently reading?Hilary Mantel – Wolf Hall, E.J Wagner - The Science of Sherlock Holmes, and Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith - Pride and Prejudice and ZombiesWhat is the last book you bought?Hilary Mantel - Wolf HallAre you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?I’m very bad for having several books on the go at once. It’s usually two or three, but I have had as many as 7 on the go at once – not to be recommended!Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?Not really, although quite like reading whilst relaxing in the Bath. What I will say though, is that one of my least favourite places to read is in Bed. Just never get comfortable enough.Do you prefer series books or stand alone books?EitherIs there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?I have recommended Anne Tyler to a lot of people over the years. As for specific titles, Katherine Neville - The Eight; Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged; Booth Tarkington - The Magnificent Ambersons; Arturo Perez Reverte - The Flanders Panel; and Jose Saramago - Blindness all regularly find there way in as gifts.How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)I used to be very very particular about this and it was always by author. These days the mix of hard back and paperback and different sizes within both of these means that for ease of putting on shelves, it is a highly dis-organised – where does this book fit approach.
