I always have to make answers to surveys long and drawn out, so just shorten my answers if you use them.

1) Do you like to read? Well, I read like I write, and I like like some people breath, so yes, I'd say I like to read. Rather, I love to read.

2)About how many books do you read in a month?
Oh, it depends, but usually as many as I can get my hands on. Anywhere from 2 - 7
3)About how long(in hours) does it take you to read a 200 page book of medium difficulty? 1.5 to 2 hours
4)What is your favorite genre: Would General Literature mean everything?

5)Who is your favorite author? Too many to count. Tolkien, of course, Diana Gabaldon, Jane M. Auel, Shakespeare, among others.

Is the sky blue? Is the Pope Catholic? Do little birdies fly?

3)About how long(in hours) does it take you to read a 200 page book of medium difficulty?

About 2 hours, give or take.

Fanstasy
Religious literature (spirituality, saints lives, primary sources - letters and other theological works)

Owen Chadwick - wrote some amazingly insightful and fascinating histories of nineteenth century Britain.
