A Very Different Interview

Every day, avid readers are logging in to read interviews with authors and aspiring authors.
You peruse the posts for interesting questions, thought provoking answers, and hints to what's between the covers of our books. You want to know what goes on inside our unusual writer's minds. Well, this isn't going to be that kind of interview. This interview is with someone I've always wanted to know more about...You!
I'm going to ask you some questions, as a reader, for a change. I want to know what's going on inside your unusual mind. Believe me, every writer I know is going to want to read your answers, because YOU...ARE...FACINATING , and don't you ever forget it!
Don't worry about your grammar, or punctuation. Don't panic about your spelling or phrasing. Don't agonize over having to explain yourself in detail. Just have fun with it! It's time for you to be famous, (or semi-famous if you prefer). So, get comfy, pick five or more of the following questions and comment with your answers...
1. Do you cheat? (Do you peek at the ending before you're finished reading?)

2. Which genre do you read most?

3. Do book reviews make a difference in what you choose to read?

4. What part of a novel are you most likely to skim over?

5. What is the best book you've ever read?

6. Who's your favourite author?

7. Who is your favourite fictional female character?

8. Who is your favourite fictional male character?

9. Did your favourite book make you laugh, or cry, more?

10. Do you judge a book by its cover?

11. Have you ever read a book you actually wanted to throw in a fire?
12. Have you ever fallen in love with a fictional character?

13. What book made you want to climb into the story and shake someone?

14. Have you ever shouted at a character, out loud, while you're reading?

15. If you could decide which book the next big-budget movie would be based on, which would it be?

16. Is it important to you to see an author's picture?

17. What book did you have to read in one sitting, because you just couldn't put it down?

18. Do you prefer a first person narration? Third person? Omniscient?

19. What storyline has been done to death?

20. Do you try to pronounce long and difficult names when you read, or do you just make up something easier and shorter in your head?

21. What would you rename the hero/heroine of a favourite book, if you could?

22. Your biggest pet peeve re: reading is?

23. If you could ask every author one question, (the same one every time), in person, what would you ask?

24. Name a great writer you've read, whom hardly anyone has heard of.
25. Have you ever wanted to rewrite the ending of a book, because you loved the book, but hated the ending?

I can't wait to read your answers!
