Library Habits meme:
1) If you don’t frequent your local library, why not?

Do you feel compelled to read prize-winning (Giller/Booker/Pulitzer etc) books? Why, or why not? Is there, perhaps, one particular award that you favour? (question courtesy of MizB)

Do you have a set reading time (before bed, perhaps)? Do you read more at night or during the day? Is there a day of the week, perhaps, that you set aside to catch up on reading?

How much time (or how many pages) do you give a book that you aren’t really enjoying before you’ll set it aside? If you’re reading it for a book group discussion, or for review, will you give it more of a chance then, say, a book you’re reading for your own interest? Why, or why not? (courtesy of MizB)

Now for me I like Book Store GC (duh) and I will take ones for a real store or online. I do prefer online as it’s just easier for me right now with what’s going on. But also the most affordable shop so far is online.

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading? Was it from a particular person, or person(s)? Do you remember any books that you read, or were read to you, as a young child? (question courtesy of Diane)

I honestly don’t know how I got started with my love of reading, but I know I have always loved to read. I know I have always enjoyed grabbing a book sitting back and digging in. I would sit up late with a flash light under my sheet and read. I wasn’t a TV kid I was a book kid. I know my mom liked to read and still does so it’s very possible I got it from her. I know my great great (so on) uncle is Mark Twain, so who knows. But I know I have always been a reader, and I hope I always am.

Have you ever finished a book, then turned around and immediately re-read it? Why? What book(s)? (question courtesy of MizB)

Yes I have. When I was a teenager I read The Black Stallion by Walter Farley, the problem is I read it very slowly because for some reason I had trouble getting into it. I think it took like 4 months to read. By the end of the book I was completely hooked so I turned right around and re-read it. I don’t think I have done that since however.
