A Booking Through Thursday Meme

I found this meme on several other book blogging sites and wanted to give it a go.

Which do you prefer? (Quick answers!)

• Reading something frivolous? Or something serious? Mostly serious, sometimes frivolous (depends on my frame of mind).
  
• Paperbacks? Or hardcovers? Hardcovers.
  
• Fiction? Or Nonfiction? Fiction.
  
• Poetry? Or Prose? Prose.
  
• Biographies? Or Autobiographies? Only read them if it is about a favorite writer.
  
• History? Or Historical Fiction? Historical Fiction.
  
• Series? Or Stand-alones? Stand alones (sometimes an occasional series).
  
• Classics? Or best-sellers? Classics, unless the best-seller is literary.
  
• Lurid, fruity prose? Or straight-forward, basic prose? Straight-forward, basic prose.
  
• Plots? Or Stream-of-Consciousness? Stream-of-Consciousness is nice once in a while, but I usually prefer a good plot.
  
• Long books? Or Short? Long.
  
• Illustrated? Or Non-illustrated? Non-illustrated, of course there is always an exception (depending on the book).
  
• Borrowed? Or Owned? Owned.
  
• New? Or Used? New, unless the book is hard to find, then Used is perfect!
