1. Age
18-24 (I'm 18 yo. )
2. Gender
Female.
3. What do you read on a daily basis? (blogs, newspapers, books, etc.)
Books mostly, but newspapers and forums as well.
4. How often do you read for fun in a week?
Rarely, actually. I'm usually swamped with schoolwork.
5. What time of day do you like to read?
Anytime. Preferably when I have time to myself at home or some other quiet place (rather than on the bus eg.).
6. Where do you read?
In bed mostly, or on the couch. I really should get myself a comfortable reading chair. :/
7. How many books have you read in the last 6 months?
Uhm, only 5 or 6 I think, if I count the novels I had to read for school. And I think I should count those because they were well worthwhile and if I hadn't been reading those, I'd have been reading some of my own.
8. What type/genre do you enjoy reading most?
Fantasy has been a favourite of mine for long, but I enjoy the occasional thriller and I've recently started to explore the classics. I can read anything really, as long as it's good.
9. Why do you read? (entertainment, relaxation, learning, etc.)
All of the ones above, really. Entertainment mostly, but I love learning new things as well.
10. What barriers prevent you from reading more?
Time. I'm doing many subjects in school and there seems to be no limit to the amount of assignments one can get in only one week. There hardly is time for anything else.
11. Do you think reading for fun is important?
Absolutely.
12. Do you fold page corners or use a bookmark?
I never fold! I always have something nearby that's easy to fit between the pages. I usually use actual bookmarks anyway, they give those away at the library.
13. Do you prefer to read to music or in silence?
Silence. I feel like I can't hear my own thoughts well enough when I have music on.
14. Do you discuss books with your friends?
With those of my friends who actually enjoy reading themselves, yes.
15. Do you borrow books from the library?
Sometimes, yes. If I am doubtful that it's worth spending money on.
16. Do you borrow/loan books from/to friends?
Sometimes, if they have anything of interest. Especially if they are encouraging me to borrow something of theirs so I will read it.
