I completely fail at cross-posting. Here's my attempt at starting again. Book meme!
01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
No. I'm not big on eating while concentrating on anything. Plus I don't want to take a chance on spilling food on my books.
02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
No way, I would never ever write in a book! That is sacrilege!
03. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
I use bookmarks. I lose actual bookmarks a lot and will randomly use little pieces of paper butdomina_malfoy gave me a book of 12 cat bookmarks that I've managed not to lose so I'm using them currently. jackiesjunkie bought me some fancy Harry Potter bookmarks but I can't use them around Alec cause he tries to grab the string that hangs from them.
04. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
I'm on a fiction kick right now. For a long time I was reading non-fiction only but I generally go back and forth between the two.
05. Hard copy or audiobooks?
I have never listened to an audiobook in my life.
06. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
I always try to make it to the end of the chapter before putting it down.
07. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
Not unless it's really critical to understand what the word means to keep reading.
08. What are you currently reading?
I just finished "Selfish and Perverse" and haven't started another book yet. I do have "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", "Some Day This Pain Will Be Useful to You", "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit", "Elsewhere", and "Naked Pictures of Famous People" on my to read list though.
09. What is the last book you bought?
"Elsewhere" by Willian Peter Blatty
10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?
I guess I could but I like to focus on one thing at a time so I always read one book at a time.
11. Do you like re-reading books?
If I really loved a book then yes I like to re-read them.
