This weeks Weekly Geeks' asks:Tell us ten things about you with regard to books and reading. Let your imagination run wild!
I am listing ten bookish things about myself, in no particular order:
1) I inherited my reading from both my parents. My dad was into Science stuff, my mom into short stories. And I can read anything.
2) I read a lot of poetry, from classics to contemporary.
3) I always use a bookmark.
5) I can't read in bed, although I do read lying down on the couch in the living room.
6) I can read anywhere, except by travelling in a car or bus. (No, I don't read in the bathroom either!!)
7) Anywhere I go, the first thing I look up, is a bookstore. Used bookstores too.
8) I love the old libraries too. It makes me feel so much at ease.
9) I can't read e-books or listen to Audio ones. Love the good old paper ones.
10) Except for YA, I can read any genre, although nowadays, I am read more of Crime Fiction (which in itself contains a VAST genre)
I've always done my best reading while riding in a car or bus. Or a train. Planes are no good for reading anymore. There is not enough room to comfortably hold a book on them now a days.
ReplyDeleteReading in bed is one of my favorite things to do!
ReplyDeleteI like audio books on long car rides. Have listened to a few good books that way. Also after eye surgery when I had to keep my eyes rested.
ReplyDeleteI love reading in bed or on the couch. Actually, the shower is the only place I can't read a book!
ReplyDeleteI like your ten things. I can't read in bed either. If I do, I 'll definitely fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a favourite bookmark(s)?
ReplyDeleteI can't get into audio books, I fall asleep within 5 minutes and have to go back and read it.
Cool 10
My mom and I are going to Florida next month and she asked me if I looked up where the used bookstores and libraries are yet! Gotta check 'em out wherever we go!
ReplyDeleteI've never really been in an old library, I've been in a section of the library with old books. My son's college has such a section. I even took some pictures (on the sly). Those books were so dusty.
ReplyDeleteLove your answers here.
ReplyDeleteI inherited my reading from my mom. My dad has only lately really gotten into books.
I'm with you on #7. Even when we did a port of call in the Coast Guard, that was the first thing I looked into: where is the closest bookstore?
Reading in a car makes me sick. Audio books are essential on long car trips.
I love the good old paper books too! Nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteI have a problem trying to listen to audio books, too. I always drift away.
