1. Three. 2. Don't like them. 3. Both works. Hardcovers are nicer but in most cases they are not worth extra cost. 4. LOTR of Thus spoke Zaratustra. But if you ask me tomorrow answer would probably differ. 5. Same logic...but I don't remember their names - one was history novel about Saladin and other I cant even remember. Rare books that I actually dropped. To give them credit it could have been that simply translations were bad...that is why I always prefer to read in original language if possible. 6. Don't care. Not into romance novels, so question is not relevant for me. 7. Human Action by Mises. I have gone trough some...400 pages or so and had to drop it to focus on finishing up my PhD thesis. After it was done I couldn't pick it up again for the life of me. 8. Wild Geese by Mori Ogai, Heike monogatari, Why nations fail by Daron A., The Road to Somewhere: The Populist Revolt and the Future of Politics - David G. 9. The Leviathan and its enemies to one of the colleagues 10. Probably Bible? 11. Seni utopljenih doba/ Shadow of the drowned ages (2022). Book published by my friend. Collection of short fantasy and horror stories 12. Look at favorite book I guess (answer for today). 13. Buying or reading on computer if free version is available (70/30%) 14. No idea. I don't read books that I am not interested in so I cant say that I was disappointed by book that I haven't read. 15. Bookmark. Anything else is heresy. Just circle poems in table of contents if there is one. 16. Same, I do not reread often. I guess some philosophy books...and Psihometrija by ex mentor. It is my field related book that is really good so reminding myself of some basics is always nice. I do flick trough it again and again from time to time so yeah...Psihometrija (Psychometrics, methodology and theory of measurement in psychology) 17. Yes. 18. What ever 19. Multiple days. I read multiple books at same time and often they are rather large. 500 pages a day is not doable if you have a job...and a life. I have read LOTR in 3 days, book a day...but it was in high school days during the summer break. 20. None.

1 How many books is too many books in a series? It depends if the author manages to maintain the quality of the books. I'm reading a series right now where the energy seem to have run out, its a ten book series and i´m at book three. Sure it can be done well though. 2 How do you feel about cliffhangers? I have never read a book with a cliffhanger. Not really. Sure there is always much more to tell of a story in a book series. But cant call that a cliffhanger. 3 Hardback or paperback? If i had to chose, paperback. But prefer my e-reader 4 Favourite book? The first book in a series by a Swedish author called Jan Guillou. You follow a kid in Sweden back during the middle ages. He is sent to a monastery. Here he learns not just about latin and such but also how to fight like a crusader knight. In the second book, its a trilogy, he gets sent to the holy land and learns the nature of man. 5 Least favourite book? Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens. I listened to it and man was that a drag. Perhaps due to an old time translation. But the reader was totally monotone. 6 Love triangles: Yes or no? I have never read a book with that as an element. 7 The most recent book you just couldn’t finish? Oliver Twist 8 A book you’re currently reading? Just a wrote upstairs, the third book in a series, you follow a family, through the nineteenth century. I´m in Germany during the thirties atm. 9 The last book you recommended to someone? The first book in this series. The first book was great and i recommended it to my mom. 10 Oldest book you’ve read by publication date? I tried to read a book published during the first years of the last century. It was about improving your character. Quite interesting but at the same time somehow a boor to read. 11 Newest book you’ve read by publication date? Not sure. 12 Favourite author? Jan Guillou. I think it was my mom who encouraged me to read the trilogy about the templar knight; Arn Magnusson. Since then he has been my favorite author. 13 Buying books or borrowing books? Buying, e-reader and so forth. And in Sweden we have two great services that is like Spotify but for books. Cheap and a great selection. Guess you could call that borrowing. 14 A book that you dislike that everyone else seems to love? Don´t know. 15 Bookmarks or Dog-Ears? Depends on the book. But id dogear most. 16 A book you can always reread? Somewhat of a repetition but i love that trilogy of books about the awkward kid from the monastery. 17 Can you read while hearing music? Nope cant concentrate. 18 One or multiple POVs? Depends if the author can manage it. 19 Do you read a book in one sitting or over multiple days? Many days, a few weeks. 20 A book you’ve read because of the cover? Never happened. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next one. Have a good time until then :).

Interesting! I’ve seen this book floating around recently, but never felt inclined to pick it up. I’m glad that I didn’t 😆 Thanks for watching!
