TGIF: Quickies

Which do you prefer?
(Quick answers--I tried to pick the choices I gravitate towards most often; however, for all of them, I take part in--and enjoy--each of the options. And as you can see, on several, I just couldn't choose no matter how hard I tried.)

Reading something frivolous? Or something serious?
Hard as I might try to choose one o the other, I cannot. I enjoy reading both equally. Some days call for something serious and others something more frivolous.

Paperbacks? Or hardcovers?
Trade paperbacks

Fiction? Or Nonfiction?
Fiction

Poetry? Or Prose?
Prose

Biographies? Or Autobiographies?
Memoirs

History? Or Historical Fiction?
Historical Fiction

Series? Or Stand-alones?
Nope. Won't choose. I enjoy both.

Classics? Or best-sellers?
I read more bestsellers, but I do love a good classic.

Lurid, fruity prose? Or straight-forward, basic prose?
Another choice that leaves me straddling the fence. Much depends on the book and my mood. I enjoy both.

Plots? Or Stream-of-Consciousness?
With well developed characters, either will do.

Long books? Or Short?
Medium length

Illustrated? Or Non-illustrated?
Non-illustrated

Borrowed? Or Owned?
Definitely owned. I mean, have you seen my personal library?

New? Or Used?
I tend to prefer new over used.

(Yes, I know, some of these we’ve touched on before, and some of these we might address in-depth in the future, but for today–just quick answers!)

1. Mandatory furloughs are not the end of the world.

2. Sitting here, listening to the sound of rain falling, I feel nostalgic for cinnamon toast fingers, hot chocolate with marshmallows, and walks in the rain with my mother.

3. Barbecue chicken pizza with just right amount of sauce tastes so good!

4. Sometimes, putting others first is a mistake, in particular on that airplane when oxygen levels are falling fast. You have to first secure your own oxygen mask before being able to help others. If you aid someone else first, you may pass out and die. What good would you be then?

5. Watching my cats and dog sleep is breathtaking, really.

6. Well, maybe there is a God after all.

7. And as for the weekend, today I'm looking forward to getting out of work early and spending the afternoon with my husband; and tomorrow my plans include going to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Pantages!
