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

It varies a lot depending on my mood... certainly a lot fewer lately. Currently probably about 1 or 2, next month it could be 10.
2 - Of those books, what ratio would be Sci-fi/Fantasy compared with Not SFF? (Ie SFF:NotSFF)

2.86:1
Except probably not :P


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


Fantasy

Sci-fi -- occasional

Historical Fiction

Classics -- I try!

Crime/Mystery -- My guilty pleasure.

Other fiction stuff (like Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro etc) -- They tend to be on the list, but I have trouble getting to them.

Non-fiction -- I usually have one going on. Usually for months at a time. :P

Manga -- I've actually started reading Manga fairly recently. It's fun.

Plays -- Not as much as I used to.

Poetry -- ugh.

Magazines

Newspapers

4 - Do you read every day?

I used to... I wish I still did.

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

Not really. What's in my head about a book never makes quite as much sense when it comes out, whether in writing or talking.

5a - If not, do you know what might make it easier?

Brain transplant?

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

Nope. Libraries are my friends.

7 - What do you like to see in reviews?

I like enough plot to get me intrigued, plus the "feel" of the book.

Thanks.

Yus.
