5. Take this quiz: Are You a Hardcover Book or a Paperback Book?

You Are a Paperback Book

You are an avid reader, and you probably buy a lot of books. And nothing beats an inexpensive paperback you can carry around.

You read whatever you feel like reading. You aren't a snob, and you aren't ashamed of your tastes.

You always have a stack of books to get through, and it seems to be constantly multiplying.

You don't mind waiting for a book you want to come out in paperback. You have plenty to read in the meantime!

6. For your own personal library, which would do prefer? All books be hardcover or all paperback? - I prefer a little of both. But I do like the covers of paperbacks and the way the look.

4. You decide to give your friend a book store gift certificate for a gift: which store are you most likely to choose?

Whatever. I am an 'ebook' because I live too far from big bookstores and antiquariams to ever shop at there. I mostly get my books online, and there are some really great independent online booksellers like Alibris. My local library is a joke. If I really want to get a book from there, I always end up ordering it and getting on a waiting list, because they never have what I want. If it isn't a romance novel or on the latest bestseller list, they probably don't have it.

6. For your own personal library, which would do prefer? All books be hardcover or all paperback?

I doesn't matter, except paperbacks fall apart because of the climate where I live.

5. EBook

6. For your own personal library, which would do prefer? All books be hardcover or all paperback? I don't keep books, because I obsessively look them over. I have the first three Twilight books, in paperback (much cheaper), in my locker at work. If they were home, I'd never get anything done!
