    Do you skim or read every word?

    Same. Or long descriptions in general, although I don't dislike them completely, unless they get very specific-that puts me off.

    Top 5 American Songs of the Century

    I think that instead of "Satisfaction", it could be "Born in the USA", by Bruce Springsteen. Not being an american, both the song and the singer are very representative of the US fos us who live outside of it...I dunno if I made my point clear :( .

    Books you once found boring...

    To me it was "In cold blood", which I read when I was about 15 and couldn't finish it, but now that "Capote" is opening here, I was curious and picked it up again. To my surprise I finished it in 48 hs and was very pleased.

    Characters you identify with

    I haven't been felt too good lately-rather confused- so I was very identified with Esther Greenwood of Sylvia Plath's "The bell jar". I just happened to read about month ago, and helped me to feel better about many situations that I'm going through

    What do you sleep in....

    usually a shirt/gown when it's colder, sometimes with pants, but as soon as it gets a bit warmer, just nothing-unless I'm in a glamourous mood, then I'll get a vintage looking nightie.
