The Friday Five has been on hiatus, but I found some people doing a pseudo Five for the fix. So here goes:
1. What do you like to read? What genres do you read the most? Why? I am such a fantasy geek. I read almost anything: romance (very selectively though), sci fi, fiction, but at heart, it's fantasy that I crave.
2. Where do you like to read? Describe your favorite reading nook. I like to read in big, oversized chairs that recline. That way I can stretch out or recline, whatever. I can also read on sofas, but I hate reading in bed.
3. What's your favorite book or author? Why? When did you first discover this treasure? My favorite book is the Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. That woman could do no wrong, the rich characterizations, the spell-binding plot, all characterizations of her work. I discovered it in eigth grade, and had been avoiding it for months because, while i was allured by it's pretty cover, it was huge! But one day I caved and the rest was history.
4. Do you like books on tape (or CD)? Why or why not? What's your favorite rendition, if any? If you don't like audio books, when would you consider listening to one? Noooo. I get bored and fall asleep. For me, reading a book is like watching a movie, only better. I really get into them, but when they're read to me, I can't, so I snooze.
5. Are e-books the wave of the future? Have your read any? Which one? Did you enjoy it? Why or why not? I think e-books are the stupidest things in the world. I have enough eyestrain and retinal burn stories, I don't need to pay people to get more. Plus scrolling annoys me, and there's that whole Giles quote about how books are so textured and rich and smelly, computers are not.
