Books don't make me nervous!

The Martian followed closely by Ready Player One.
Car reading: yea or nay?
Only audiobooks in the car!
Which do you prefer: audiobook, ebook or physical book?

What is your favorite reading spot?
My back deck at sunset after the kids go to bed.
What is your preference when it comes to books: new or used?
I tend to be a Kindle guy. I assume these are new unless Amazon is secret hawking me used e-books!

It was a dark and stormy night.
If you could have coffee with any author - dead or alive - who would it be? Why?
I'm not a big "meet your heroes" person, but it would be fun to have coffee with Bob Woodward. I bet he has lots of interesting stories about the shenanigans that happen in Washington D.C. that have never been published.
