    I sure have a hard time deciding on one though the questions are easy, hehe.

    Ah, another point for the poetry fans! I envy your ability to keep it short.

    I'm impressed that you were able to keep your answers short. I tried, but didn't quite manage it.

    Well, it can only be both, to most of them, anyway.

    Your answers are very similar to mine but I think you were more decisive than me!

    I said trade paperbacks too. Hardcovers are too cumbersome to hold.

    You did a great job with the quick answers! I had a harder time, but it was fun anyway. And I agree about new or used - love them both.

    It was tough sticking to short answers!! We are much the same, however I do like hardbacks for my home library, but trade paperbacks are so comfortable to read!

    Lots of similar answers! I find it difficult to capture my reading behavior in multiple choices!

    I prefer a plot-driven novel that slowly unfolds in fruity and lush prose, with multiple layers and allusion that indulge my mind long after I turn the last page like the lingering aftertaste of a good glass of wine.

    My own answers would mostly be "both" or "it depends"! : )

    I notice lots of people opted for historical fiction. I love history myself! Your answers are even shorter than mine!

    Seems pretty similar to mine. Happy Thursday!

    I think "both" is my answer to a lot of these, but I forced myself to commit--but really, it's "both" for many...
    Good answers :)
