A LIT MEME FOR ALL THE BOOK NERDS:

. So, you can read! Congrats!
Are you reading a book right now? How far are you into it and what do you think so far? If you're not, what was the last book you read and how did you feel about it?
I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I'm about 300 pages in, ugh I'm going through it so slowly, but I like it.

. Do you have a favorite book? Do you have... a book you really liked, at least?
I'd say Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov is one of my favorites.

. What would you say is your favorite genre to read? What to tend to steer away from?
idk if I really have a favorite genre. I don't really like mysteries though.

. Do you read more fiction or non-fiction/information books?
Fiction most definitely.

. How about a favorite author, or perhaps a few?
Terry Pratchett, Gregory Maguire.

. Have you read any terrible books? Something you'd recommend staying away from?
Twilight..? hahahah. The Awakening was kind of enraging just because I hated the main character. WhosenameIforgot. I didn't like Love in the Time of Cholera either.\

. Do you reread books, or is once enough? Any exceptions so far?
I reread books all the time. If I like a book there is a 99% chance I will read it again.

. What were some of your favorite books as a child?
HARRY POTTER DUH. Fairytales, those mystery tree-house books, the ones where they went back in time? dude, I loved those. Most everything by L.M. Montgomery, Little House on the Prarie books. Golden books were the shiitttt. Even though thier spines were silver, which always confused me, because they're called GOLDEN books. Oh, and the Ramona Quimby books. yesss.

. Do you usually pick books from the kids, teen, young adult, or adult books? How old are you, if you don't mind?
I'm 19, and I pick books from the ~adult~ section. I never really went for the young adult books. I read kid chapter books for way too long.

. Do you buy books much or mostly just borrow?
Mostly borrow, but I love to buy books.

. Have you read any books after seeing them in movie form? Which did you enjoy more?
Yeah, Sweeney Todd, The Painted Veil, Howl's Moving Castle, Phantom of the Opera, and that's all I can think of right now. I liked the book better each time except for Sweeney. That book was mad boring.

. What about reading the book before there was a movie? How did you feel about the movie? Did you even bother seeing it?
Yeah, I usually always see the movie made from a book I've read (and liked). The movie is usually less good, although the HP movies are hilarious.

. Do you read any other forms of literature aside from novels? Such as graphic novels, comics, (fan fiction???) etc.?
Uh, well, Watchmen? I read comics and GNs sometimes, but I'd say 95% of what I read are novels. And who doesn't read fanfiction? C'mon.

. What is a book you want to read, but haven't yet? What intrigues you about it?
The Great Gatsby, it's a ~classic~. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, why WOULDN'T I want to read it? And World War Z. mmm zombies.

. If you could rewrite the end of one book (or any other part, I suppose), which would you choose? If you were satisfied with every book you read's end, yay.
I can't really think of any book that I would rewrite. hm.


If you can think of one, name a book that made you:
- cry: There have been a lot because I am a girly woman child, but we'll go with Phantom of the Opera

- laugh: Him Her Him Again The End of Him

- think, in a deeper sense than the obvious: oh jeez. I can't really think of anything.

- feel pure happiness: um, idk. A lot of books made me happy, but I'd say Norman Rockwell's autobiography made me consistently happy.

- become so addicted you put off everything in order to finish it: The 13th Tale

- die of boredom: Sweeney Todd. jfc I regret reading this during my ~Sweeney Todd~ phase.

- learn something new: Bosie: the Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas I learned all about Bosie.

- squirm with squickiness: Running with Scissors That book was insane. Good, but insane.

- squirm with glee: Jane Eyre ahah. not even gonna lie.

- very embarrassed to be reading it: The A to Z Encylcopedia of Serial Killers

- angry: Love in the Time of Cholera and The Awakening again. I just hated the main characters.
