bookworm slim, part I.

1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?

I don’t like to. I hate getting crap all over the pages.

2. What is your favorite drink while reading?

I’m not that hardcore, but why not. Gimme a glass of sangria.

3. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?

It used to horrify me until I got into active reading. If it’s a reference book or really philosophical, I’ll usually add my notes or underline.

4. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ear? Laying the book flat open?

Random scraps of paper. Or business cards & an NYC metro card. I don’t know why, but dog-earing irks me.

5. Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Both?

Both. Especially simultaneously. Good balance.

6. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of a chapter, or can you stop anywhere?

I’m slightly obsessed with finishing a chapter, especially with fiction.

7. Are you a person to throw a book across the room or on the floor if the author irritates you?

I’ve never experienced that type of response from a book. Maybe I need to break out my comfort zone.

8. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?

If my ipod or dictionary is near me, I always try to. I love learning new words. If not, I use context or underline it for later.
