This week’s This or That Tuesday

June 17: Reading

1. Newspapers or magazines?  Neither. If I had to choose, I guess it would be magazines.

2. Books-on-tape or regular books?  Regular books, although on a long drive audio books are great.

3. Paperback or hardcover?  I like to own the hardcover, but prefer reading paperbacks.

4. Fiction or non-fiction?  Fiction.

5. Sci-Fi/Fantasy or romance novels?  I am a girl - romance.

6. Borrow from library or buy books (either new or used)?  I prefer to own books, but I have no problem borrowing them from the library if I can’t spend the money. The point is to read the book, right?

7. Subscribe to magazines or buy on newsstand?  I used to have subscriptions to a couple magazines. It’s cheaper than the newsstand.

8. Current best-sellers or classic literature?  Current best-sellers. Although I like to read a classic every once in a while.

9. Read books once, or re-read favorites every so often?  I have a few that I like to re-read. But I’m a one-timer for the most part.

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?  That’s easy - Harry Potter will be read by me. I have no interest in Hillary’s book. I’ve read the previous four HP books and loved them.
