 Here's another reader interview.

Myname is Kenneth Dinning. I am 27 years old and live in Missouri. I am full-timedad, student and worker with two boys (Jaxon & Noah), a lovely wife(Jennifer) and a Dorkie named Molly. I work at Target and in my spare time Ilike to read, watch movies, listen to music, tweet and be with my family. I'mprobably the coolest person you will ever meet. Well, at least my kids think Iam.


1.       Whatgenre do you prefer to read?I like to read crime novels, suspense thrillers, adventureand anything with comedy or humour. Not a lot of nonfiction but I want to startreading it. 
2.       Isthere a favourite book you've read more than a few times because you found thestory so engrossing? I have read each Harry Potterbooks twice and Flowers for Algernon three times.  I like books that run in a series, ex.Donovan Creed, Lorne Simpkins, The Hunger Games, Jack Singleton in Robin Cooknovels, Rick Riordan series, the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness and theDexter series by Jeff Lindsay.
3.       Doyou read paperbacks or ebooks more? I read e-books more.Occasionally I will read a paperback or hardback book I already own or sharewith my wife. (She is not into the e-books.)
4.       Ifyou have an ereader has your reading increased or changed in any way? From December 2010 to now, I have read more books on myKindle than regular books in a two year time span.  
5.       Haveyou ever thought of penning a book yourself? It hascrossed my mind but I'm more of a spectator than a player. I like to read andvisualize other people's imaginations.
6.       Whatmakes a book an absolute must read in your eyes? Is it characterisation or plotthat's more important? A must read book in my eyes hasa catchy title, a strong protagonist with good supporting characters, a clevervillain and make a series of books. I think characterisation and plot areequally important. Plot allows the character to grow and become a strongcharacter that will be remembered. Without characters, the plot cannot thicken,take twists and turns or allow the reader to put ourselves in that particularsituation.
7.       Inthe ebook world what do you consider is the best way to grab a reader'sattention? I think the best way to get readers is highreview scores and a good price. But that doesn't mean free. Give them a pricethat is enticing but don't sell yourself short (no pun intended).
8.       Name6 authors you'd invite to dinner. John Locke, MelComley, Blake Northcott, Sigmeud Freud, Rick Riordan and Maurice Sendak.
9.       Ifyou were stranded on a desert island what three items would you take with you? My Kindle, my music player and a hammock                Bless, thanks Kenneth, that was an unexpected surprise! ;-)
