1. A (the large chain), simply because I'm more likely to find the book I'm looking for there. But B (the used book store) is attractive too, because used books are cheaper.
2. A (new book by my favorite author) by a hair. C (friend sends me free book) is also good because I've often found good books via word-of-mouth that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
3. A (novel). No question.
4. C (genre). Science fiction, fantasy, anything that captures the imagination.
5. A (fiction almost exclusively).
6. B (the words are what matter). I don't care if it's a nice new hardback or an old, dog-eared paperback; as long as all the pages are still in the binding, I'll enjoy the story just as much. (Or just as little, if it's badly written).
7. C (10 or more per month). And you should have seen me when I was in high school: a book a day, at least.
8. C (both own and borrow), although I lean more heavily towards borrowing. But I travel often, and don't always have access to a good library, so owning copies of my favorites is nice.
9. D (blogs). Although "online bulletin board forums" (fora?) is more accurate, in my case.

Oh I do enjoy a fine bookstore with a cafe'. And an old used bookstore has some fantastic old classics. Love to buy books but the budget took a tightening so I do value my local library and of course would love and do love somebody giving me a book, that is a very nice gesture.
Many subjects I enjoy, and of course music books since I do write music quite a bit.
Favorite place to read a book: corner of my couch, cup of Tazo Earl Grey tea, cat, next to the end table, midday with the sun coming through the window, no one in the house but me, Sunday, chocolate chip cookies, and something that I don't have to read for work or school. Add a fire for winter time...
