1. What's your favorite and least favorite subject matter?
I like speculative fiction, what many of you might call sci-fi and fantasy. I’m not much for crime and police procedurals. Non-fiction, except books about cooking, meh.
2. Do you have favorite authors, and why?
John Irving is probably my favorite. His plot lines are surprising, his characters so well developed, and his prose is evocative. A Prayer for Owen Meany and A Son of the Circus are my favorites. For speculative fiction, Arthur C. Clarke is right up there.
3. Have you ever read the end of the book first?
All the time!
4. Do you stick with a book till the end, even if you don't like it?
Depends on how much I don’t like it! But usually, no.
5. If you don't like a book at the start, how many pages will you invest in it?
Maybe two chapters, maybe a little more.
6. Do you have an example of a book you didn't like at the start, but very glad you finished?
Not that I can think of off-hand.
7 Do you have an all time favorite book?
I have many!
8. Do you prefer a hard copy book, or an electronic reader and why?
My kindle app, on my iPad.
