ringsandcoffee1. Most everyone will recommend a book or two to read, but are there any you would tell people to avoid?
As a young kid, I remember HATING Pippi Longstocking, and struggling through The Secret Garden. Daniel Deronda started ok but I only finished it for the sake of finishing it (and the miniseries was even more painful).
2. If you take a book on vacation, are you more likely to take something you haven't read yet or an old favorite?
One I haven't read.
3. Do you read any genres by the season? Like horror around Halloween? Cozy Mysteries in the Winter? Romance in the Summer?
No. I mainly read memoirs, then non-fiction, and sprinkle in fiction here and there. I line them on the shelf in the order I bought them, so just read the next one up.
4. If you read a lot of Fiction do you prefer an author that has a series with the same character(s), or do you prefer stand-alone stories?
Not a lot of fiction, but when I do, stand-alones.
5. Is there a book that you wish you could read again, but experience it like it was the first time?
Maybe Jane Eyre,, which is my favorite.
