Like 2-20 times. <br />4) Pretty random, although some favorites are William Gibson, Tim Dorsey, Jay Lake, and Stephen King before he was hit by a van. <br />5) Cover to cover, but multiple books at once. <br />6) I mostly enjoy it, although sometimes I do it because my better half orders me to.Mike Speeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648532407369443335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-82550639638857322572009-10-15T19:08:20.132-04:002009-10-15T19:08:20.132-04:001) I have several favorites, the one I actually ow...1) I have several favorites, the one I actually own is The Scarlet Mansion <br />2) I've read it several times<br />3) I don't usually read books more than once. If the book was good I'll remember it way too clearly to enjoy it a second time. I like to be surprised at how it turns out :)<br />4) I have several favorite authors that I read, also random choices.<br />5) Cover to cover, but I will abandon a book if I don't like it<br />6) I read because I feel like my brain needs to eat words to live.

In fact, most of his books are in my bathroom. I can pick any book, any page, and know exactly what's going on.<br /><br />I go cover to cover, and my idea of heaven is doing so in one sitting.<br /><br />I read because I love to, and only select books that I think I'll enjoy. But, like Lori, even if I'm hating it I must finish it.Samsmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11169303081015977579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-71192450868152576912009-10-15T16:28:04.396-04:002009-10-15T16:28:04.396-04:00When I was little my absolute FAVORITE book was &q...When I was little my absolute FAVORITE book was "I wish that I had duck feet". <br />My mom read it to me so much it fell apart.<br />Larry McMurtry is my absolute favorite arthor.<br />HAVE to finish a book before I start a new one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-14384427649341303332009-10-15T15:26:13.280-04:002009-10-15T15:26:13.280-04:001) Lord of the Rings

I'd probably refamiliarize myself with why I liked it.<br />4) Tad Williams, but I've been going the "pick by random" or "read a set by such-and-such author" or I just pick things topically.<br />5) Nope, cover-to-cover, though I will, occasionally, lose a book behind the bed by happenstance and start something out because I'm too lazy to fish it out.<br />6) I read for myself, either to learn, to entertain, or to get back into the topic I'm writing about.MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.com
