Reading Survey

To encourage reading and exchange ideas, Derek has come up with the following survey. Please take the time to respond to the questions in the comments section (click on the little pencil, bottom right). This should be a fun way for us to find out more about each other and what kinds of things we read.

1. What is your single favorite piece of writing in any genre or format?

2. What book do you think everyone should read before they die?

3. What was the last book/story that made you laugh out loud?

4. What was the last book/story that made you cry?

5. Your favorite guilty pleasure?

6. Your favorite poem/poet?

7. What book have you always wanted to read but haven't gotten to?

8. The book you've read more times than any other?

9. The book/story that you want to read to your children?

10. An author you think people will still read in a hundred years?
