Saw this sometime back @ Perpetualpageturner blog. Created the post, wonder why I didn't post it! Here it is anyway.
I almost always read before sleep. Sometimes I don't know if I am awake or asleep, I am reading or dreaming or doing both. These beautiful lines explain not only my reading but also how I go through life.
Author you’ve read the most books from:
Agatha Christie ( I have read all her mystery books) Goodreads tells me I have read 76 books including various short story collections. Next would be Sue Grafton 23 books.
Best Sequel Ever:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Currently Reading:
Police by Jo Nesbo
Drink of Choice While Reading:
Coffee
E-reader or Physical Book?
Both. Whatever is available and best at that moment.
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:
No one really.
Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:
The Lord of the Rings. I read the book after I saw the first movie. Usually I don't read a book after seeing a movie. I read a book for its story. So if I already know the story, it makes no sense for me to read the book. But my friend suggested that I would definitely enjoy the book more than the movie. I am glad I gave it a chance otherwise I would have missed the experience to go on an epic adventure.
Hidden Gem Book:
Sick Heart River by John Buchan (ask my sister, she will tell you it is one of the very few books that brought the feelings alive) it is an adventure novel just in case you haven't read anything by John Buchan.
Important Moment in your Reading Life:
Discovering Online Reading Forums, Discussions and book blogs. Got some great recommendations.

W is for Wasted by Sue Grafton

Easier to answer the kind of books I read which is Crime Fiction. All the others very rare.

In Bed before sleep.
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
Not a quote but a poem
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music:—do I wake or sleep?

Non, rien de rien,
non, je ne regrette rien!

This is so interesting, I am tempted to do it myself. Some of my answers would be the same: Agatha Christie, A Suitable Boy.
