Since this is the last Tuesday of Fall Into Reading 2010 (can you believe winter starts in a week?), this is also the final question from Callapidder Days. Okay, so she went with four questions today. And, I will be answering all of them.
1.Do you write in your books?
How dare you even think about the possibility? I have a few books I wrote in as a kid. But I don't think I've written anything other than my name in a book since I became a teen. And I have a hard time writing my name in books I own, too.
2.Can you read in the car?
Not while driving.
And for a more serious answer, I have always been able to read in the car, a fact my parents hated as I would read past stuff they wanted to show me while we were on vacation. Now that I have to drive, I will listen to books on tape, which is fun. But if I'm on a long car trip and someone else is driving, you'd better believe I've got my book within easy reach.
3.Does the rest of your family enjoy reading?
Yes, but not as much as I do. My parents read some, mostly non-fiction. My brother and sister-in-law read more fiction. My niece hasn't quite figured out reading yet. She seems to think it's fine to turn the page in the middle of the page being read to her. But since she's only 17 months, we'll cut her a little slack.
4.What’s the longest you’ve gone without reading?
24 hours.
I know that sounds like bragging, but it's got to be close to the truth. I always have a book going, and I always try to read a chapter in it before I go to bed. Some days, that's all I get in. I usually read on my lunch hour, so I get more reading in during the week. But if I let a book go too long, I lose the story and characters, so I try to keep things advancing forward somewhat steadily so that I don't forget things. And I usually have my next two or three books at the ready, so there's never a hesitation on what I will read next.
