Book Quiz: Which book should you read next?

You might want to get out a piece of paper so you can remember your answers.
Also, this quiz is not particularly for lovers of nonfiction.

1. What is your favorite genre?
  A. Fantasy
  B. Science Fiction
  C. Dystopian, I suppose, if you can call that a genre.
  D. Realistic or historical fiction

2. What do you like to read about?
  A. Magic, mythical creatures, good vs evil, etcetera
  B. Space, futuristic technology, aliens, etcetera
  C. I like to read about what the future could be, with well developed characters and awesome leads.
  D. I like to read simple but emotional stories.

3. Do you like classic books?
  A. Not really, they're pretty slow
  B. Not really, they're not very interesting
  C. There are some older books that I like, but I wouldn't necessarily call them classics.
  D. I'll read classics. I like them.

4. What aspects of a book do you hate?
  A. Slow, boring plots where the main character isn't doing anything interesting. "Katie went to the mall and realized she was depressed, so she bought some frozen yogurt and watched TV for the rest of the day."
  B. I hate when the author chooses to inform you about the situation and not entertain you with the situation. "Katie heard the door creak open. 'Hello?' she called. 'Who's there?' she questioned. 'Mom?' she wondered. She opened the brown, wooden closet door and pulled out a 2B-A-30 Russian Assault rifle that was 7.62 x 39 millimeters. 'I have a gun,' she warned."
  C. I hate it when an author creates this amazing setting and then just ruins it with everything else.
  D. I hate when books don't make sense. (For example: Sadie is 14. The book takes place five years later and she's 21.)

5. Who is your favorite author of the ones below?
  A. JK Rowling
  B. Lois Lowry
  C. Suzanne Collins
  D. Harper Lee
