Which do you prefer? (Quick answers–we’ll do more detail at some later date)

• Reading something frivolous? Or something serious? Frivolous, if it's good.
  
• Paperbacks? Or hardcovers? Hardcovers, though I usually read paperbacks because they are more portable.
  
• Fiction? Or Nonfiction? Fiction, for the emotional kick.
  
• Poetry? Or Prose? Prose. But I like poetry, too.
  
• Biographies? Or Autobiographies? Biographies. If only because I read them more. Most of the people who really interest me didn't write autobiographies. I wish. Aimery de Lusignan, where is your long, detailed, chatty tell-all memoir?
  
• History? Or Historical Fiction? Aw, come on, I can't choose. History, if I have to pick one.
  
• Series? Or Stand-alones? Series.
  
• Classics? Or best-sellers? Classics.
  
• Lurid, fruity prose? Or straight-forward, basic prose? Impossible to choose. How about an eclectic blend?
  
• Plots? Or Stream-of-Consciousness? Plots.
  
• Long books? Or Short? Long.
  
• Illustrated? Or Non-illustrated? Non-illustrated, if it's a novel. Illustrated if it's history, or a comic.
  
• Borrowed? Or Owned? Owned. I have a number of borrowed books on the premises and it makes me uneasy, as if the owners are looking over my shoulder.
  
• New? Or Used? New.
