Unfortunately I haven't had much time to post an comment lately, but I'll reply to one of the questions I like the best.<br />The best place to read a book?<br />Well, a couple of places really to me: whilst traveling on a plane or train and on a quite beach with just the sound of the sea in the background. It's the perfect combination and I feel like doing that right now...abchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609320981147763206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660056283239757924.post-59090546729003276152009-05-21T16:50:36.311+01:002009-05-21T16:50:36.311+01:00Well, I won't answer all of them but will try a fe...Well, I won't answer all of them but will try a few. . . <br /><br />I use a bookmark.<br /><br />Yes, I receive books as gifts and always give books as gifts too. in fact, I have always given my children and grandchildren books or gift certificates to book stores as their main present for special occasions.<br /><br />I always wanted to write a book but never did YET! I do write poetry and started puting some of it on a different blog but had trouble uploading the photos that inspired the poetry so stopped.<br /><br />I read mysteries again and again -- especially mysteries by Diana Mott Davidson. <br /><br />I buy the books of the authors I like after experiencing a sample from the library.<br /><br />Yes, I usually eat when reading a book. . . it might be just a drink or something sweet to suck on or a sandwich -- never a main dish like spaghetti or porkchops because I need both hands for them/they are messy.<br /><br />I am looking forward to Diana Mott Davidson's newest culinary mystery and continue to explore the numberous pages of the Joy of Digital Photography by jeff Wignall. (The problem with the later is it is such a huge book in hard cover edition that it is hard to take with me! Ü<br /><br />Another series of books I read by one author were biographical. . . A Child Called it, Th Lost boy, A Man called Dave. They are the heartbreaking story of a real person who lived to tell about it.<br /><br />Lisa Beamer wrote a book about the tragedy of losing her husband on 9-11 and it is called Let's Roll. It is a book or real courage.<br /><br />So, my reading leans to mysteries, biographies and hobbies.PERBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867690282756606398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660056283239757924.post-17485355679784169902009-05-21T09:36:32.985+01:002009-05-21T09:36:32.985+01:00An impressive translation - at least as evaluated ...An impressive translation - at least as evaluated by another non-English speaker :-)<br /><br />I'll try a few (I'm not at home, so this is via a mobile "broadband"):<br /><br />1. Either a bookmark or the sleeve - never bend a page!<br /><br />2. I have received countless numbers of books, but I must admit I haven't finished all of them.<br /><br />3. I wrote my Ph.d. dissertation, if that may be called a book :-)<br /><br />4. If possible I read in the bath - mental as well as bodily hygiene<br /><br />5. Cult book: Like countless others: Tolkien's "Lord of the rings", first read in 1980.<br /><br />6. I often read books several times.<br /><br />7. I read what I like and don't feel ashamed about anything. If anyone don't like my selection - that is their problem.<br /><br />8. PDF-files etc is fine for a quick scan, search etc etc, but for serious reading you need paper.<br /><br />9. I usually have many projects at the same time: At the moment for instance: "The blind watchmaker" by Richard Dawkins znd "Adobe Photoshop for Photographers" by Marting Evening. I'm also about to start on a couple of books of poems by Gerald England. In addition to various magazines (popular science, history and photography).<br /><br />That should cover it (before the batteries run out).Rune Eidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008247272056395901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660056283239757924.post-60410838303301896582009-05-21T04:03:53.145+01:002009-05-21T04:03:53.145+01:00Hi Malyss, great topic for a blog post. You did a ...Hi Malyss, great topic for a blog post. You did a great job on translation, so I thought I would give you some more to translate:)<br /><br />I only answered a few of your questions, but it was fun. I don't read as much as I should, or used to, but I still read about a book a week and have always found sanctuary in books at certain times of my life, so I have great respect for readers.<br /><br /><STRONG>Do you like to read a book several times?</STRONG> Yes, if I really like a book I will re-read it again and again. Only one book did I finish and immediately start to read again. That was <EM>Master and Margarita</EM> by Mikhail Bulgakov; it just blew my socks off. <br /><br /><br /><STRONG>Do you bend the page or use a bookmark?</STRONG> I always use a bookmark, even if I have to make one myself. I hate, hate it when people turn down a page as a bookmark. I don't know why it annoys me, but maybe because I think books should be valued and treated well for all the pleasure and knowledge they give us.<br /><br /><STRONG>How do you choose your books?</STRONG> Word of mouth, a good review, topic, genre, serendipity.<br /><br /><STRONG>A reading you'd like to hide?</STRONG> A guilty pleasure is occasionally reading science fiction. I don't particularly like fantasy (except for Harry Potter). I like a good old "space opera" type of sci-fi novel.<br /><br /><STRONG>To read in silence, with music, or it does not matter?</STRONG> It doesn't really matter, but I usually tend to read with light classical music on in the background. I've had the experience of recalling a book I was reading upon hearing the music that I was listening too when reading.<br /><br /><STRONG>To read an electronic book?</STRONG> It will take a lot for me to read an electronic book. It is not the same thing, neither is listening to a recorded book on tape or CD. A book on tape is great while driving, but it is a different experience than reading, it is entertainment. You have to hold a book in your hands, smell the paper, and turn the pages to really experience reading a book.Clueless in Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246601221880879890noreply@blogger.com
