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.

Other: books on poker.

I guess that might qualify as "science" via mathematics.

I don't dislike poetry (well, don't dislike *all* poetry), but don't go out and hunt for it.

Like a couple of others, my reading frequency tends to vary. I guess I oscillate between video games and books, to some extent; if I'm wrapped up in some video game or another I'll do that in small chunks of time, but if not I'll read something.

To some extent I'll read in the same way I play video games, also, which is to say that being in the middle of more than one happens sometimes, and more than one of the same type happens occasionally (but generally leads to one of the two being set aside for a while).
