I take a book for every 4 days of travel 🙂 Not that I ever get time to read, but you never know 😛
Nope hasn’t changed since the arrival of e-books.

It has only happened to one series for me. I stopped on book 2 (loved book 1) and I’m still debating reading number 3. I doubt i will anytime soon though. So for now i have abandoned this series.

I am currently reading:
function showGoogleBooksLightbox(container) { var link = $(container).down(‘a’) var viewport = $(‘box’).down(‘.viewport’) var isbn = $(container).readAttribute(‘isbn’) if ($(viewport).down(‘.loading’)) { loadGoogleBooksViewport(‘ISBN:’+isbn, $(viewport).id) } }

Do you divide your books into day and night reads? How do you decide?
I don’t read during the day as i’m at work, and when i get home i make food etc. I only start reading around 8. So i don’t have day or night books.
But i do have bath and bed books 🙂
What about you?

0_O Oh no let me just say that it will never happen and never has!! (Touch wood) I read everyday for at least 1 hour in the bath and its never happened (Touch wood again). The only thing that has gotten wet is my bookmark.
Now lets say it did happen, i would probably cry lol and then be mad at myself for not putting such a book in the safe and leaving it there!

Definitely! It has happened numerous times that i watch a movie and find out later that it was originally a book. I then pick up the book as soon as i can. Other times i watch a movie that was based on a book i have already read, and then reread the book after the movie!
And you?

I don’t stop reading a book. I push through. Although there was Cry the Beloved Country which i hated, i would have given up, but i had to read it for English class (so i sort of read it :P). So except for that one book, i don’t give up on a book, I am the eternal optimist!

I have always been a multi-genre reader and i still am. I do find that i loved mysteries more as a child and that i don’t read as many now (the occasional James Patterson etc). Maybe i should pick up some more and see if i still love it as much!
