Musing Mondays - Would You Rather?

Musing Mondays is a weekly meme hosted by Jenn at A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along! This is when we speak about bookish rants or issues, among other things.

 For this week's topic, I thought I would play a bookish game of Would You Rather? I have seen questions similar to these floating around a few blogs and I thought I would come up with my own Would You Rather questions!
Would you rather . . . 

 1.  Read just one book for the rest of your life or read every book only one time? 

 Since I don't usually have the time for rereads, I am going to choose to read every book only one time. 


2.  Have someone spoil the ending for every single book you read or never be able to read the ending of a book?

Man I hate spoilers. But I would hate to never know the ending of any books, so I guess I would choose the spoiler option.

 3.  Read only print books or read only ebooks for the rest of your life?

I love my Kindle, so I will choose to read only ebooks!

 4.  Read your favorite genre for the rest of your life or read everything except your favorite genre?

Argh, I know I said I liked variety earlier but I will choose to read only my favorite genre for the rest of my life. My favorite genre is contemporary YA so I really don't think I will get bored with that one.

 5.  Would you rather live in the world from Divergent or the one from Hunger Games?
I would choose the one from Divergent for sure. I would never, ever make it in the Hunger Games arena.

 6. Would you rather read a poorly written book with a great story or a beautifully written book with poor content?

Bad writing just bugs me so I will choose beautiful writing with poor content.

 7. Have to buy every single book you read online or borrow every single book you read from the library?
As much as I love libraries, I will choose the online option.

 8.  Would you rather burn your favorite book or burn your favorite library?
Okay, I HATE burning books, which is why I thought this would be a tough question. And it is. I will choose to burn my favorite book though . . . as hard as that would be. Better one book than countless others in a library.

 9.  Would you rather take only one shower a year or read only one book a year?

I thought this was a funny one and would show if there are any people out there who don't care much about hygiene. As much as I love to read, I would choose to only read one book a year. Man, I would savor the hell out of that book!

 10. Okay, so this one isn't a traditional would you rather question. Brewing Up Books gave me this idea in an award they tagged me in. Okay, you have Edward from Twilight, Park from Eleanor and Park and Gatsby from The Great Gatsby: who do you kill, whom do you marry, and with whom do you have a one night stand?

 I intentionally came up with three very different characters to try to make this hard. It was a little difficult. I think I would kill Edward, marry Park (when he gets a bit older of course) and have a one night stand with Gatsby. I was torn on that one. I know Gatsby is rich, but I have a feeling he would not be super faithful in a marriage. 

 Feel free to answer any of these questions (or all of them) in the comments below!

    For #2 I would go with the spoiler too, because it would suck not being able to know how a story ends.

      Thanks Breana. As much as I hate spoilers, I would HATE not knowing the ending at all. It would drive me crazy.

    Wow, interesting game, and I would rather read only my favorite genre....rather than read everything but. Gladly, we don't have to choose...right? LOL

      You are so right Laurel! If we actually had to choose, I would be in so much trouble.

    I think I might also choose to read ebooks more because I actually save a lot of money and the amount of eARCs I receive is incredible than my physical arcs which are mostly likely 1:10 HAHAH the ratio is so small. It's hard being an international blogger huhu I wish I was from the US

      Chyna, that is so true. I actually live in Italy so I know how you feel. ALL of my ARCs are in ebook format.

    Haha, that was fun. I answered the same as you on every single one! And I never thought I would be choosing spoilers but can you imagine never knowing how any book ended! What would be the point!

      Thanks Trish! Yeah, you are SO right. I normally hate the spoilers, but if the alliterative is to never know the ending . . . there is no contest!

    Yea, read every book only one time - I'm with you on that. There isn't one book that I'd want to re-read more than once anyway.

      You are right about that Julie. The ones that I want to reread are in the minority for sure.
