fighting the good fight

yeah, don’t ask how i slept. i didn’t, really. annoying neighbours, hot room, late sunset. ugh. i can’t wait. only a week until the days start getting shorter! oh stop looking at me like that. if you had a west-facing window you’d say the same thing.
i want to have dave matthews’ babies.
and just to flesh things out a bit, this-or-that:
1. Newspapers or magazines?  neither, but if i had to choose, newspapers. magazines piss me off. $5-$8 for the priviledge of being your advertising victim? yeah, i don’t think so.
2. Books-on-tape or regular books?  i think if i ever start going for long walks again, books on tape will be my salvation, but they will never replace real books.
3. Paperback or hardcover?  in order of prestige: hardcover, trade paperback, pocketbook. i think i prefer trade paperbacks.
4. Fiction or non-fiction?  fiction. it takes some really interesting non-fiction to capture me. although, i read a florence nightingale biography in grade school and i still remember parts of it (and wish i could find it again).
5. Sci-Fi/Fantasy or romance novels?  sci-fi/fantasy, baby.
6. Borrow from library or buy books (either new or used)?  i mostly buy my books and then give them away to charitable organizations. i just hate the time restrictions on library books. i always feel too much pressure and end up losing some of the enjoyment of reading the book i withdrew.
7. Subscribe to magazines or buy on newsstand?  neither. magazines are the devil.
8. Current best-sellers or classic literature?  it’s all about the classics.
9. Read books once, or re-read favorites every so often?  both. some books are a one-of, but there are a couple books i have that i’ve read multiple times. there’s one book in particular i read almost every year.
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?  harry, of course. i couldn’t give a rat’s ass about hillary.
