My favorite book of all time is: Always Coming Home, Ursula Le Guin.
My current favorite book (read or re-read in the last 3 months): Persuasion, Jane Austen, which also contends for the previous. (The book I most recently reread, if that’s what this is asking, is Sage Empress, Sherwood Smith.)
The last book I bought was: The October Horse, Colleen McCullough
The first book I bought with my own money: Too long ago, no idea.
The first book I received as a gift: Too long ago, no idea. I cannot remember not having/receiving many books.
The last book I received as a gift was: There were a handful all at once this past holiday season, the one I remember is The River Has Roots, Amal El-Mohtar
The last book I borrowed from the library: The Trouble with Magic, Ruth Chew
The book physically closest to me right now: A Student’s Dictionary of Classical and Medieval Chinese, rev ed., Paul W. Kroll
Do you read bookfic, and if so what is your favorite bookshop fic? I mostly only read bookfic, as I understand the term, but not very many fics set, either by canon or AU, in bookshops. Am I misreading this question?
Physical book or e-book: Yes.
Used or new: Yes.
Fiction or non-fiction: Yes.
Read at a coffee shop or at the park: Yes.
Paperback or hardcover: Paperback, says my wrists.
Romance or Crime: Romance.
Stream of consciousness? Rarely.
Poetry? Hard yes.
Memoirs? Rarely.
Philosophy? Sometimes.
Thrillers? Hard no.
Chronicles? Sometimes.
Dialogue heavy? This is so orthogonal to my reading choices it’s a meaningless question.
