1) What encourages you/discourages you from reading? For example, is it a fantasy story line that captures your imagination? or do you lack in patience/time?
2) Do you ever judge a book by its cover in the literal sense? or does the cover not affect your decision to read it?
3) What what would entice you to read more (if anything)?
1) encourages - i'll read read if it's something i'm really interested in like music or an biography on someone i like and i also like more realistic stories
discourages - i hardly read because it's something i just have to be in the mood for and i need the time so if i'm on holiday i'm more likely to read a couple of books
2) Yeah i'm more likely to pick up a book that catches my eye
3) If someone stole my laptop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) i'm obsessed with books on angels, werewolves, sometimes vampires and mermaids and that sort of thing. so anything on that immedietly captures my interest and then if the story seems plausible and not like your typical "love story" or anything like that, then i'll be encouraged to actually read it but if it's like an adult trying to write like a "typical teenager" and it's all really cringy then i'm discouraged from reading it.
2) yeah. e.g if a book has a stupid cringey kind of picture on the front (like i find real photographs of real people looking all dramatic really cringey) then i'm less likely to read it.
3) i think i read alot already and i get them from the library. maybe if i could order them online from a library and send them back in the post or something that might be easier
i don't like the idea of books that aren't actual books because i can't really concenctrate unless all of my hands are occupied by holding the book
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) I find books allow you to use your mind a lot more than films/other multimedia sources, both nonfictional and fictional. That, and it's easy to whip out a book if you're sitting around waiting for something, easy to put away and store, et cetera.
I think libraries are the most ingenious things, if the idea of free books, whenever you want, doesn't encourage people to read more, I don't know what will.
2) Yeah. I do. It's usually indicative of the genre and prose, you sort of have to use judgment on the cover, in my opinion.
3) I already read a lot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) encourages - i find that books can really bring your imagine to life, whereas with a film you don't need to imagine anything because it's already all there.
discourages - it's not the fact i don't have time, it's just that i'd rather be doing other things with my time and to be frank i'd rather read a magazine like nme or whatever as i like factual things. i also need to be in the right mood to read a book.
2) i think you've got to judge a book in some respect in order to get an idea of what the book is about, but the cover doesn't affect my decision to read it.
3) my mood
