Hey Rafonauts

A few questions for you on your reading habits.

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


It depends on the length of the book? Maybe 5, or 4? It also depends on what I'm doing. When I was studying for exams I went two months with reading nothing but textbooks.

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


I dunno, 3:1 maybe?

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

Fantasy


Yes.

Sci-fi


Yes.

Historical Fiction


Yup.

Classics


Sometimes.

Thrillers


What counts as a thriller?

Crime/Mystery


Sometimes.

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


Sometimes.

Non-fiction


Physics books, ftw.

Graphic Novels


Not really.

Manga


Not really.

Plays


Yes.

Poetry


Not really. I've only found one poet I really like.

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


Not often.

Magazines


Not anymore. Maybe in the future, if I find a good physics magazine.

Newspapers


I did in America. Not here.

4 - Do you read every day?


More or less.

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


Not really. I always feel stupid.

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


Not really. Maybe someone else reading the same book at the same time as me. Although, this is not very realistic.

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


No. I usually wait for paperback.

7 - What do you like to see in reviews?


I honestly don't read reviews all that often. I usually choose books on whether their titles look good, or if friends have recommended them to me.

Thanks.
