1. How many books do you read (on average)?
2. Which books did you read lately?
3. Why did you choose to read those books?
4. What is your (brief) opinion of those books?
5. What book are you reading now?
6. What is your opinion of that book so far?
7. Which books are you planning to read?
8. Why do you intend to read those books?
