Book Surevey

Taken from Johnny Jets

1.) Let’s start with a simple one. What are your all-time favorite books?
Johnny Tremaine by Esther Forbes

The Lord of the Rings Saga.  JRR Tolkien It’s really not a trilogy. A trilogy are three separate stories that follow one and the other that can build upon the previous but can easily be read alone Clancy

 

Most of Stephen R. Lawheads books.

2.) What’s your favorite genre?
Historical Fiction, Fantasy/Sci-fi

3.) Some people enjoy listening to various songs more than following certain artists. Do you prefer reading random books to following certain authors, or will you follow an author from title to title?
Usually stick with the one author. Like Lawhead and Ted Dekker and Tim Downs

4.) Some books have great titles, but don’t make your desert island top five list, and some amazing books have mediocre titles. What are your favorite book titles?
idk

5.) Fiction or nonfiction? Hardcover or softcover? Biography or autobiography?
Fiction. Usually hardcover for the authors I follow the most when I can get my hands on their newest release

6.) What are your perfect reading conditions? What situation is most conducive to enjoying your chosen read?
When ever possible. Lately I have been a pot reader. (i mean the bathroom is my library)

7.) What’s the optimal length for a book?
from the first page to the last

8.) What’s the first book you remember reading?
Sammy the Seal

9.) What’s the last book that really moved you?
Today Matters  John Maxwell

10.) What’s the last book that so annoyed you that you bailed on it without finishing it?
That’s been a while since I have read such a book. Ok other than texts books in college. And some books that were good but kinda made their point too ealry. I just can’t remember them right now

11.) What’s the worst book you were forced to read in school?
Good question. I can’t think of any right at the moment. Maybe The Canterbury Tales although I do appreciate Chaucer’s writing today

12.) What book (that you might not have picked up on your own) are you glad was forced upon you in school?
Shoot. I can think of a couple but don’t remember their titles right now

13.) What is one book whose timelessness and renown utterly baffles you?
Sounds cliche but it is the truth: The Bible

14.) What is one book you fully expect to be forced upon high school students in the future?
An Inconnvenient Book Glenn Beck

15.) Have you ever read a book that you so thoroughly enjoyed that, as soon as you turned the last page, you immediately flipped the book over and began reading it again?
Not as soon as I finished reading, but there are those I have re-read a few times. LOTR and Lawhead books.

16.) How many books do you usually have going at one time?
Try to keep it to one. Have had three books going on at once. I am currently reading the Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov by itself.

17.) Are you a buyer, a borrower, or a library haunt?
A buyer because I can create my own libray.

18.) Do any books perpetually live in your purse, briefcase, backpack, car, desk, or other such easily-accessible place as emergency or back-up reading options?
I should but I don’t. It usually sitting on the sink in the bathroom

19.) Do you dog-ear or make notes in books?
No! I have been brought up to take care of my books. Text books, sure hi-lite, underline, dog-ear. I got really pissed off at some art students when I was in college for taking books and making their own "art" out of some other person’s work of art. You got to treat a good book with respect man.

20.) Do you use something other than a bookmark to keep your place?

Yes, sometimes it is a receipt, other times its a clean square of toilet paper.
