It was really hard to decide between the choices given.
I find it difficult to capture my reading behavior in multiple choices!
I prefer a plot-driven novel that slowly unfolds in fruity and lush prose, with multiple layers and allusion that indulge my mind long after I turn the last page like the lingering aftertaste of a good glass of wine.
You were a lot more decisive than me! I kept saying "both" on so many.
Susan--lol, the more I thought about the questions, the less certain I was of my answers!
Matt--well put! I especially like the wine part :)
Jeane--Really, my answer was both to many of them, also!
I like short answers. Anyday!

Found a link to this and your blog on another blog (blanking where now!) Here are my answers:
* frivolous
* Paperbacks
* Fiction
* Prose
* Autobiographies (probably would have said memoirs!)
* Historical Fiction
* Stand-alones
* best-sellers
* Lurid, fruity prose/straight-forward, basic prose (a little bit of both can make a good read!)
* Plots
* Long books!
* Non-illustrated
* Owned!!!
* New? (Usually!) Or Used? (Sometimes!)
Thanks for the fun and thoughtful mind-game. It's perfect timing since today I wrote about my addiction to books. Go figure! ;)
