Softback - easier to carry around
Paper clip
Holding a book
Both... Shelves are better for the book, but stacked on the floor seems... romantic? Maybe it's just me.

- Hardback (it looks nicer in the shelv, but I mostly by paperback because of the price)
- Pen
- Paper clip
- Holding a book in my hand (have never read a E-book)
- Shelving them up correctly (I've just moved in with my bf, so at the moment my books are a stack on the floor, but that will change soon)
- History/present

hardback (first editions & autographed...yeah right).
pencil with a large eraser...I make my number of writing wrrors, I mean errors.
staple...that's it.
I like reading on my desktop...I'm strange I know.
Having a stack of books AND on shelves (both)...I told you I was strange.
I love fantasy and sci-fi so I'll say the imaged future.
Both fiction and non-fiction thank you very much.

-I prefer hardback because they're harder to destroy. I prefer trade paperback to those stupid little short books. I hate those.
-Pen. Almost always.
-Staple. I love staples!
-I like to lay my books places, but I rarely read on level surfaces like desks or tables. Presents quite a challenge at time.
-I stack my books on the floor. I like chaos.
-I like all three.
-I love both.

hardback or softback novels?
Softback; while there is something nice about hardback, it's just so much easier to read a paperback book.
Pen or pencil?
Definitely pen for writing.
Paper clip or staple?
Staple.
Holding a book in hand or laying it on your desktop?
In hand, the whole putting the book down thing never works, just annoys me.
Having a stack of books on the floor or shelving them up correctly?
Shelving them - something satisfying about them being on display properly.
Reading abour history, the present or the imagined future?
History.
Fiction or non-fiction?
Fiction, though non-fiction is just as worthy of regard. But personally I feel fiction is most satisfying and rewarding.

hardback or softback novels? Paperback...easier to carry around and stuff in my backpack though they don't hold up as well
Pen or pencil? Pen because it lasts longer but pencil if I'm sketching
Paper clip or staple? Staple. Have you ever had a fancy stapler and unhooked the bottom so you could staple things on boards and stuff? I've recently discovered it's really fun to shoot staples at people this way. Staple war!
Holding a book in hand or laying it on your desktop? In my hands...laying it on the desk is for textbooks.
Having a stack of books on the floor or shelving them up correctly? I prefer shelving though I do love to have a few random books scattered throughout my room.

Fiction or non-fiction? Fiction. It interests me a whole lot more.
