How many GR groups do you belong to?
A few, and I keep track of all of them.
A few, but I'm an active participant in only one/two*. (* please cross out the incorrect answer)
So far, this one only.
A few, but I don't bother with most of them.
It's a LOT!!!! ...I've lost track long time ago.
I used to be in a bunch of groups, now I limit myself.
I'm hopping from a group to a group trying to find the right one.

Books and bathtubs do not mix.
I don't really do baths. I'm more of a shower kind of person.
That's NOT true, I love reading in the tub. Dreamy, soothing, warm, perfect.
Hymmmm.... warm bath
Hymmmm.... book
Hymmmm.... can I have some wine with that?

Events? Do you find them useful? Annoyed by all the invites?
Yay, event invites. I would probably miss out on challenges without them.
I don't have an opinion. Whatever.
Do I have to answer?
Nay. No events please. They clog my inbox. They irk me. Make it stop.
I liked it better without the events, but I'll get used to it...

That you keep only cookbooks and directories around the house

Skimming - yes or no?
Yeah, I skim some now and again, but in all fairness, I try to avoid doing so.
Yes. Skimming is totally acceptable if the writing is bad. So is dumping the damn thing in a trash can.
Life's too short to waste on crappy books.
Life's too short to waste on crappy books.
No. Books are supposed to be read THOROUGHLY. That means no skimming.
And what's the hurry anyway? You'll get to that last page soon enough.
And what's the hurry anyway? You'll get to that last page soon enough.
In general, I have no objections to the idea of skimming, but I myself read every and each word, sister. Some might call it OCD, I call it: reading.
Quite often my impatience gets the better of me and then, whether I like it or not, skimming happens. I've made peace with it.
Sometimes skimming feels good and right. How about that?!

Do you like it when books make you cry?
I can't say it I enjoy it, but there it is.
(Just as long as it does not happen to me in public, we're good. Public tear shedding can get a bit... embarassing.)

I love me a good cry!
I hate it, I love it, I can't live without it. I'm a glutton for punishment.
Crying? No, that does not happen.
Not that I'm a heartless b*tch, because obviously I'm not. But I never actually cried over a book. Not yet at least.

Ick. Keep it positive please. I'd rather save my tears for some real life disasters.
Crying's for whimps. Big girls don't cry.
Neither do boys.

Nastiest book related habit?
Hoarding. Yes I'm talking to you, you with those piles and piles of books all over your apartment.
Snubbing out friends to stay home and read.
Reading while eating.
Borrowing and returning in a horrible shape.
Borrowing and never returning.
Dog earing.
Reading while in the crapper.
Never lending any books out.
Using books to impress people with. Show-offs!!
Throwing out books (even if they're old and obscure and trashy - it's still books we're talking about).
Scribbling notes all over.
Using books to support furniture.

Cliffhangers, what's your take on them?
I don't mind a good cliffhanger, but please DO NOT end books that way, ever!!! That's detestable. If the story is good, I'll grab the sequel of the shelf, no worries. No gimmicks necessary.
I can tolerate a few. But mind you, my tolerance has its limits.
All that tension and anticipation? I love it.
I hate when as I'm reading I become aware of the fact that I'm being fed a cliffhanger. It takes me out of the story. And I don't like being played. But if the writer is clever enough, if (s)he creeps up on me unexpectedly with a cliffy, ooh! That's the best.
I'm a glutton for punishment. So I crave it, I crave it bad. And yet when the moment finally arrives, all that tension becomes pure torture.
On principle I detest all emotional manipulation. That extends to cliffhangers.

Do you read more since you've joined in on the challenges?
Well, I've started reading more since I joined GR, that's sure.
Yes! I've noticed that.
I think not. Same ol' same ol'.
Er, you have me confused with somebody else. I don't do challenges.
I think so...
...not sure.

Lurk* much? (Not that it's a bad thing, just asking)

Guilty as charged: Hi, Lurker here!
I don't lurk, I post, I vote, I contribute, I'm an active member of this group.
I'm still around, I don't contribute as much as I used to, but I'm not dead yet ;-P
Lu-what? I'm new here, please don't harass me or (worse) try to confuse me...
I'm a reformed lurker, I used to just stalk y'all, now I'm IN THE GAME!!!
I would vote, but then I'd cease to be a proper lurker. Or would I? How does it work again?

How do you know when to stop reading a bad book?
You don't stop. You never stop. Once you start you must finish.
You're half way through and you've skimmed more than what you've actually read.
You've made it through 50 pages and it's been awful.
100 pages in and still nothing happens.
You've put it down 5 months back and now it's supporting that wobbly table in your living room.
After that crappy scene you threw it at the wall, literally.
Sometimes the back blurb and a first few paragraphs is all it takes.
When it's so predictable that you have it all figured out as you read the first chapter and glancing at the last few paragraphs just confirms the lameness.
