Dang, this brings back memories. I loved The Outsiders, and SE Hinton's other books. I would read them over and over. Hmmmm, I think I'll look them up next time I'm at the library. :)

Saturday - Ian McEwan The Poe Shadow - Matthew Pearl (unfinished) The Almost Moon - Alice Sebold The World Jones Made - Philip K Dick

I wouldn't really say I collect books, but I do like to own the ones I have enjoyed and plan to re-read. I'm on a bit of a book-buying hiatus at the moment due to limited space (and funds :rolleyes:). When we eventually move into a bigger place, then I will probably start buying books again.

'First the colours'. - The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

My reading choices are pretty much the same all year around. I guess if I did more holidaying in Summer, I'd be more inclined to pick up something 'light' and easy to carry around. As I tend to be a homebody, and do most of my reading indoors, it makes no difference whether it's Summer or Winter.

I'm the same as you. If I read a book that I enjoy, then I keep it. I expect to re-read it at some point, though, so I don't really see much point getting rid of it.

I can't think of any funny fictional writers. I find Bill Bryson's travel books extremely hilarious; he can inject humour into anything. :D

Because I enjoy a good yarn. For non-fiction, I read because I'm curious about a particular topic.

I'm with my foster parents in Germany. It's 1939, and we are hiding a German-Jewish man in our basement.

^ It's 14 to 12 now.... ;)

The Post War Dream - Pink Floyd

'The temperature of the Refuge varied from 99 degrees Fahrenheit to 101 degrees Fahrenheit'. - The World Jones Made by Philip K Dick.

I'm at a carnival, looking at freaks and fortune-tellers.

Hey you, yourself!

'When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily.' - The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold.

I would say voracious, as I always have a book on the go. But it's usually time constraints that stop me from reading as much as I want. :rolleyes:

Blindness by Jose Saramago (may have posted that before), and Life of Pi by Yann Martel, as I lost my copy.

Somewhere in America, and I've just killed my mother.

I just assumed he was being sarcastic to make a point. :confused: Besides don't "they" say that there are only really 7 plots in literature?

[-]Good idea[/-]. . :D
