What do you guys read?

Post by Theia_Loki »

What do you guys read and how frequently? Reason I'm asking this is because I have to interview about ten people as part of one of the assignments in the work I'm doing in Summer School. Why am I enrolled in Summer School this summer? I'm just trying to get that Literacy Course credit so that I won't have to put up with that shitty OSSLT again, which was held in march of second semester for the second time since last year (the school I took this thing at is...well.....for the most part, shitty management-wise). As far as I know, this'll last from July 2nd yesterday up until July 29th (and thankfully, there's no exam for this puppy).

In case you guys need to know about what is listed in the survey itself, here's a detailed summary of how it's structured:
There's about 17 categories, with three of them having a total of 18 sub-categories altogether. There are three sections next to those categories underneath the frequency that whoever or whatever individual reads that particular category or sub-category, each labeled as 'Rarely', 'Sometimes', and 'Often'. The rest of the assignment also mentions charting all that data on either a line, bar, or pie graph which has to be done on either graph or blank paper. Do note that this is just part of "one" assignment, and that is the very first one.
And as for what's listed in the survey itself, here it is:
1. Internet Sites:
    - fan sites
    - news groups
    - sports sites
    - fashion sites
    - newspaper sites
    - hobby sites
2. Newspapers:
    - English-language dailies
    - other language newspapers
    - community newspapers
3. Biographies
4. Non-fiction books
5. Novels
6. Manuals and instructions
7. Poetry and song lyrics
8. Religious or spiritual readings (personally, I don't bother about these by much)
9. Comics
10. Magazines about:
    - celebrities
    - news and public affairs
    - hobbies
    - sports
    - music
    - computers
    - gaming
    - fashion
    - other magazines
11. Letters
12. e-mails
13. Pamphlets and brochures
14. Reviews
15. Cd/Album liner notes
16. Texting (text messaging)
17. Instant messaging
Personally, this one isn't really my favourite thing since I'm not much of a conversation sort of guy (surveys aren't something I'm up for). So, can you guys lend me a hand with this? It would be great if you did.

(Note: By the way, in case you ask, I happen to be 'Shad' on the SA forums.)

I actually read a lot. Most recent few were the Starcraft novels (not counting the Dark Templar saga), His Dark Materials, some Stephen King and I am atm working on Robin Hobb's books.

WarCraft books so far are better than the StarCraft ones. I havent read any of the Diablo ones.

They aren't the greatest, I just wanted to read them because they were said to be part of the StarCraft canon.

Just because you don't enjoy them Doack, doesn't mean others won't.
