Insomnia night. I'll just leave this here.

How often do you read books? (Not a graphic novel, not a sports page, not a magazine ...)

First: Constantly. -- 36%
Second: A little at a time on a regular basis (includes 'before bed'). -- 19%

Uncreativity Penalty: None. Making up for last week? Well done, my children, well done.

Points

* 'I hope to be the next The Paper.': +10, Read or Don't.

* 'Only when I need to know which bolt I need to undo to detach/reattach something to my car...': I should dock you. But I'll give you +1 for honesty. Go read a book.

* '...Do fanfics count? I only read 100k words and up, so the -length- is there...': You know what kind of fanfics you read, so give or dock 25 points based on your choices thus far. (And I'm not sure I want to know what my readers read when they're not reading me, anyway.)

* 'I read every moment of every day I can. However, if I know a movie is coming out for a book I haven't read yet, I see the movie first. That way I can enjoy the movie without the constant "They screwed this part of the book up" whine. We know the movie is never better than the book, but most of these movies (aka Harry Potter) are not bad movies in and of themselves.': Incorrect. What Dreams May Come the movie was infinitely better than the book. I will not dock you for this, however, as truly understanding would involve you reading the book, and seriously, the book did suck. Wait, what do you mean that wasn't the point? Bah. +5 or something.

* 'www.paperbackswap.com Hurray for passing on used books ^_^': +10 for that as well as pimpage.

Correct Answer: 'What else is there to do on the can?'

I hope you all think long and hard about this week's poll. If you have been, eww.
