Hey Rafonauts


RAFOlite, I refuse to conform


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


It changes quite a bit from month to month. It doesn't help that I tend to have more than one book on the go at any time. I will say on average 2 a month.

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


40%-50%

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

Fantasy


Quite a bit

Sci-fi


Infrequently

Historical Fiction


Very very rarely

Classics


Yes

Thrillers


Rarely

Crime/Mystery


Rarely

Other fiction stuff (like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro etc)


Yes (most frequent after Fantasy)

Non-fiction


Yes, I'm reading more non-fiction now than I have previously

Graphic Novels


Yes

Manga


No

Plays


Yes, although I obviously prefer to see them preformed

Poetry


Rarely

Short stories (please specify what genre they might belong to)


No

Magazines


Just one or two

Newspapers


Yes

4 - Do you read every day?


I try to, but often I am too tired to read more than a couple of pages

5 - Do you find it easy to discuss the books you read?


If I have someone to discuss them with, yes. Often however it can be hard to find anyone I know who has read the same books

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


Some books yes. Mainly fantasy as I am excited to know what happens next in the series

7 - What do you like to see in reviews?


A discussion of the work's themes and style. Also the reviewers opinion of the work.

Thanks.


Hope it was in some way useful
