I've always said mood play a big part in chosen books to read. It still is. However more often I find myself going back to re-read the older ones because I come to realized that re-reading old favorite books is comfort read for me. But it always nice to start reading current books to keep up with upcoming new series books ;)

My answer is much the same. I like both.

Good answer, how true! I don't mind what era the novel is from, as long as I feel a connection to at least one of the characters.

Ahh, what a good answer! I almost feel like amending mine....but I won't!

Here is my answer to Booking Through Thursday!

I feel the same as you, though it appears I read more newer books than older ones. Still, the age of the story doesn't matter to me at all; I read whatever I'm in the mood to read.

I like a good mix of books but lately I've been reading a lot of classics and listening to YA. Published date doesn't really matter to me but I stopped accepting/seeking advanced copies of books to be published because they were so hit and miss for me.

Here's mine.

I tend to drift towards the newer ones, but force myself to read classics, which I almost always love.

I like to read both new and old books.

I also read by my mood sometimes, the year of the book does not matter but I seem to always be drawn into best sellers.

No preference for me either. Although I do know when I read a lot of more current books I sort of get sad about all my shelf sitters that have been waiting for me for YEARS! :)

I like to read both. Depends on whether or not the storyline attracts me.

I grew up on the classics, but I love newer stuff as well. I agree that mood has a big influence over what I read.

It depends on my mood also. But I always love reading a good classic.

same for me, It all depends on my mood but I think I need to be in a really good mood to read classics :)
