Hey Rafonauts

Soup?

1 - Approximately how many books do you read in the average month?

For leisure? 3? 4?

2 - Of those books, what ratio would be Sci-fi/Fantasy compared with Not SFF? (Ie SFF:NotSFF)

Almost entirely Fantasy (but I want to hear about other things too; I read a lot of non-mind rot over the summer!)

3 - (with credit to Tom) Which of these do you read:

Fantasy

Yup
Sci-fi

Sometimes.
Historical Fiction

Ones that are recommended to me.
Classics

Countless, but in the toga sense.
Other fiction stuff (like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro etc)

I don't know who these people are. ;_;
Non-fiction

If it's interesting. I read a ton for school.
Graphic Novels

Only the best.
Manga

Very, very rarely.
Plays

Also rarely, but I would like to learn more.
Poetry

Yes, but I'm picky.
Short stories (please specify what genre they might belong to)

Not so much.
Magazines

The Economist
Newspapers

Google News, mostly, so an aggregate.

4 - Do you read every day?

Yes. I don't have a choice.
5 - Do you find it easy to discuss the books you read?

Pretty much.

6 - Do you buy books as soon as they are published?

Very rarely. I do for series like Erikson's.
7 - What do you like to see in reviews?
