Made up my own survey about reading and language.

[serene]

It's short, but not very fluffy. I'll put my answers in a comment so that you can cut and paste this if you want to use it for your own answers:

1. Describe the first (or an early) phrase/idiom you remember figuring out the meaning to.

2. What is the first thing you remember reading for pleasure?

3. (Especially for porcinea) Do you consider yourself "a reader"? If not, how would you describe your relationship to books and literature at the current time?

4. What's the book (story/play/whatever) you've re-read the most often? What is it about that piece of literature that excites you the most?

5. If you suddenly woke up tomorrow with the writing talent and motivation to write anything you put your hand to, what kind of work would you start churning out?

6. Tell about the person in your life, if any, who most influenced your feelings about language and reading.

7. What are you reading right now? And do you recommend it/them?

You sound like you were my kind of kid.

Oh, and this should probably go over in ego_boo or something, but three times recently, in discussions of who people bother reading on alt.poly, your name was up at the top of the list. Just thought you'd like to know that people are saying nice things about you.

Why, thank you very much.
