One book at a time? Or more than one? If more, are they different types/genres? Or similar?
(We’re talking recreational reading, here—books for work or school don’t really count since they’re not optional.)
It varies. Sometimes I'm reading one book at a time. Sometimes several. As for genre, sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's different. I know my answer isn't exactly helpful--I'm just not particularly fixed in my reading habits. If I were, I wouldn't get anything read.
Onesome: Going out-- means what? Deal with this and plan that and...? ...or can you just leave and hit it ... where? Hmmm... Where is "out" for you?
It means getting out of the house. Or not being in lab. I usually don't do much planning about where I'm going or what I will be doing.
Twosome: "...to-- the dogs?" Is that just a strange expression? ...or do you 'get' it? What's the most curious expression you've heard or you use and others don't 'get'?
I understand the one about dogs. The first thing that comes to mind about strange expressions is "h-e-double toothpicks." For some reason, I had a really difficult time wrapping my head around that one. Some New Englander type things are just plain weird.
Threesome: Dinner-- bells and chuck wagon triangles: what sound means food to you? Okay, okay, sure, the ice cream truck counts!
Hm. The dinner bell, I suppose. Also, when I was an undergrad living in the dorms (I feel really odd saying that because at the institution I went to, it was called a "house") there was a set dinner time. Some of the students were hired as "waiters" (who didn't act much like real waiters)--the head waiter would ring a triangle to signal the beginning of the meal. The house president would end the meal by hitting a gong.
