Reading Habits - book meme

From here .

1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
        Not really, at least not since learning that I have insulin resistance - can't eat most of my old favorites.
2. What is your favorite drink while reading?
        Tea. Lots of it. No sugar.
3. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
        0_0 I don't mark books.   ... unless they're for studying.
4. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ear? Laying the book flat open?
        A bookmark, thought it's usually a piece of paper lying around (old receit or something) or a folded tissue.
5. Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Both?
        For pleasure it's mostly fiction. Very rarely non-fiction (and then it's mostly mythology, folklore, history)
6. Are you a person who tends to read to the end of a chapter, or can you stop anywhere?
         I can stop anywhere, but I  try to stop at the ends of chapters.
7. Are you a person to throw a book across the room or on the floor if the author irritates you?
         No.
8. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?
         No.
9. What are you currently reading?
         The Stolen Throne by David Gaider (Dragon Age prequel)
10. What is the last book you bought?
         The Man From Beijing by Henning Mankell
11. Are you a person that reads one book at a time, or can you read more than one?
          I can read more than one. But if a book really grabs me I'll stick to just that one until I finish it and if it has a sequel I'll go right to it..
12. Do you have a favorite time/place to read?
         Before bed.
13. Do you prefer series books or stand-alones?
         Series. More to explore, more of beloved characters etc.
14. Is there a specific book or author you find yourself recommending over and over?
         Patricia Briggs, recently.
15. How do you organize your books? By genre, title, author's last name, etc?
         E-books by author's last name and then genre. Paper books, I keep them usually divided by genre, then author, and by size.
