You and Your Books!
>
Book Lovers - a quiz to find your reading personality!

Involved Reader: You don't just love to read books, you love to read about books. For you, half the fun of reading is the thrill of the chase - discovering new books and authors, and discussing your finds with others.
Exacting Reader: You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose.
Serial Reader: Once you discover a favorite writer you tend to stick with him/her through thick and thin.
Eclectic Reader: You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors.
I come out as an 'All Rounder'. Apparently I am exacting, serial and eclectic. I guess it must depend on my mood!

That's true..often it depends how you feel as to what you read.

I think "happy to read anything and everything" probably just about covers it!

Very true!

Haha! Looks like everyone's having fun doing the quiz! We're certainly all different, that's for sure!


I just did - even before I saw this! I was waiting to introduce myself until I tested the waters for a bit and decided if I was going to stick around ;)

Wow lots of all rounders!! I was quite excited to find it Elaine, I thought it was a bit of fun for the group:)

Dale wrote: "I'm eclectic reader. But then as usual with surveys sometimes the answers they gave to choose from were not what I wanted to answer so I had to pick the closest one."
Ditto.

Those were my thoughts when I was answering it. None of them really fit!
All-rounder here apparently :)

I discovered (via the quiz) that I am a Serial Reader!!
Have a go and see what it tells you abo..."
You may read a lot or a little, but either way you're a publisher's dream, because once you discover a favorite writer you stick with him/her through thick and thin and eagerly await the next in the series; but even you need to discover some new blood from time to time!
True True but damn I read at least 17 new authors a year!

Exacting Reader! : The expression 'so many books, so little time!' sums up your life. You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you'd like - so you're very particular about the books you choose.
Yep that's me

which is about right.. I do read just about anything (except romances and westerns) and enjoy finding new authors.
I'm an Eclectic Reader:
