freeform goodness

via this-or-that

1. Newspapers or magazines?
   Magazines — depth over timeliness
2. Books-on-tape or regular books?
   Regular books, though books-on-tape are good for long commutes
3. Paperback or hardcover?
   Paperbacks are a better for for my budget, but a nicely bound hardcover book can be a thing of beauty.
4. Fiction or non-fiction?
   These days, nonfiction. That can change (and has changed, several times, in the past.)
5. Sci-Fi/Fantasy or romance novels?
   I have never, consciously, read a romance novel.
6. Borrow from library or buy books (either new or used)?
   I’m a big fan of used books.
7. Subscribe to magazines or buy on newsstand?
   Subscriptions are just wasted money, as I find I almost never get around to reading the magazines I subscribe to.
8. Current best-sellers or classic literature?
   The “classics” I guess — this goes back to the used book question.
9. Read books once, or re-read favorites every so often?
   There are certain books I try to re-read every 10 or so years.
10. Here in the U.S., we have two hot best-sellers…former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s memoirs, and the new Harry Potter book (coming out June 21). If you had to read one, which one…Hillary or Harry? Why?
    Hillary’s — she is our future president, y’know. ;)
