Another poll. This one's on reading habits, and for no better reason than because I'm shamelessly curious.

For the purposes of this poll, I'm counting physical books, audiobooks and ebooks of the type you would read in an ebook reader. I'm not counting stuff you read on the web, not because I don't think it's 'real' writing but because I think there's considerably less deliberateness -- one of the beautiful things about the Internet, to me, is that you can spend thirty minutes clicking around and wind up reading about quantum physics or the history of cheese without really realizing how you got there. Which is awesome! But doesn't really say much about what you prefer to read.

EDIT: And I'm counting manga and Western graphic novels that have been collected into books. Basically, as meganbmoore put it, if it has a spine, I count it.



[Poll #1167420]

EDIT: I meant to mention manga and graphic novels under Fiction, and Politics under Non-Fiction, and then I goofed and didn't. Whoops.

I don't avoid poetry, but it never occurs to me to seek it out and so I don't end up reading much of it...

Me too, actually. Occasionally I will be reminded 'oh, poetry!' and then I'll go find some... but I don't go looking for it.

And most of my poetry-reading is of the stumbled-on-it-on-the-Internet variety.

I'm the same way with both poetry and non-fiction =P
