1. Do you read much? Yes. All the time. That is what I get for being and Anth and English major. 2. Why? Why not? Because of school and because I like to. 3 What do you read (categories, not specific books)? Anthropology. I'm really into the peopling of the Americas, human evolution, and osteology. I also love to read fiction: fantasy, sci fi, anything that sounds good. As for literature, I love American lit. and I actually like some poetry that I am reading now: Yeats and Blake. Pretty good stuff. 4. When? At night. During the day. When it rains. When I have to write a paper. All the time. 5. How (1 at a time, fast, slow, read 50 pages, ignore for 2 years, then finish)?

As books become more and more digital, will you embrace it or cling to the paper versions? I love the paper versions. I love old books, especially those with kickass illustrations. I also have to admit that I like digital ones. Especially when I need a copy of Darwin's works and I can find them online instead of driving two minutes to campus and checking it out of the library. 8. How many people have you met in your life? Hmm, met a lot. I only know two people really well. btw- why are you in extreme pain? ------------------ Poopy! And, yes, I have a boyfriend.

1. Do you read much? Yes, I read anywhere from 4 to 5 online newspapers a day, two hard copy newspapers a day, a couple of plays a week and at least a novel a month. 2. Why? Why not? My mommy told me "never talk about things you know nothing about". I like being informed. 3 What do you read (categories, not specific books)? newspapers, Plays, Biographies, fiction 4. When? morning, noon, night (pretty much all day) 5. How (1 at a time, fast, slow, read 50 pages, ignore for 2 years, then finish)? I'm probably reading three or four things at once. Although I do have a bad habit of starting a book, and getting a few hundred pages into it, and then getting bored (or busy) and not finishing it. 6. How often/long do you read? as stated above, constantly 7. As books become more and more digital, will you embrace it or cling to the paper versions? I like both, but I hope paper stays around forever 8. How many people have you met in your life? you're joking right? Hope you feel better Rimmy! ------------------ Everything you do, effects everything that is.
1. Do you read much? Not as much as I'd like. 2. Why? Why not? Because I'm not on planes as much as I was before... oh yeah, and I also suck. 3 What do you read (categories, not specific books)? I hate to admit it, but I jumped from African literature to Star Wars. hehe. 4. When? Well I can't read Star Wars novels in public, so I either do it on planes w/ other geeks that have no life or I do it at night when my wife is asleep. 5. How (1 at a time, fast, slow, read 50 pages, ignore for 2 years, then finish)? Once I make it past the first 30 or 40 pages in a book, I'm hooked and will finish the book in 3 or 4 days... getting the first 30 or 40 pages out of the way w/o working on something else is a hassel. 6. How often/long do you read? one to 5 hours. 7. As books become more and more digital, will you embrace it or cling to the paper versions? I'm okay w/ reading off of machines, but I'd rather have paper in my hands. 8. How many people have you met in your life? 37,000,000... that guy in West Virginia was a schmuck. ------------------ (===)

One at a time, and I always have a queue lined up to read next 6. How often/long do you read? Before bed, 10 mins, on planes/airports, by the pool hours at a time. 7.

You people make me laugh! I am enjoying this very much...I don't care what JV says about the questions being "weird." 1. Do you read much? Yes, as much as time permits. 2. Why? Why not? I am a consumer 3 What do you read (categories, not specific books)? religion, philosophy, art/art history, literature, political theory, poetry, sociology, magazines, and cereal boxes. 4. When? Generally at night, but sometimes during the day. 5. How (1 at a time, fast, slow, read 50 pages, ignore for 2 years, then finish)? I read anywhere from 1 - 5 books at a time. Funny, I seem to be the only one...I rotate the same night or different nights...depends. Sometimes I read 10 pages, but the book aside for 2 years, and then finish it. Reading rate depends on density of material. 6. How often/long do you read? 30 minutes +...If something is good, it can keep me up for hours. 7. As books become more and more digital, will you embrace it or cling to the paper versions? I could read articles digitally, but never books. I am a collector. I love books -- thir look, their smell, their feel. I had a mentor in college (just someone I respected and talked to every day -- not a teacher) who had a collection of about 8,000 books...that is what I want. My father himself has about 3,000. 8. How many people have you met in your life? 1...my wife. She is all that matters. Oh yeah, Jeff, too, cuz he might read this...2, 2 people! PSJ, You are a writer? What do you write? Why do you find reaing to be a hindrance to writing? Why can't it be a help? ------------------ Whitey will pay.
