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'll never forget in undergrad when I was waiting around for the rest of my class to show up to the van loading zone for a field trip (film production class going to a production company and an production-equipment rental company), and I was reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, hardcover, without the dust jacket. My professor looked at me (and I guess to him, I had my nose stuck in a perfectly gimongous book) and said, "Getting a little light reading in, Amber?" I blinked and replied, in a tone that implied that I considered nothing to be lighter reading, "It's Harry Potter!"

Except, of course, for the physical weight of the book. ^_^
