#1... The last time I read a novel that wasn't something that I was reading with someone else or supplementing audio book versions of it from cover to cover was at least five years ago. I am not a big fan of popular fiction; the majority of what I read is non-fiction, and that isn't usually stuff one would read cover to cover.
It was probably a children's book that I read, too, though I can't quite recall which it would have been.
I think the last 'adult' novel I read cover to cover was L.A. Confidential, and that was back in 1998/1999, somewhere around there. And previous to that, the last adult novel before that one was Brave New World, which would have been 1996/1997. If it's fiction, I have a preference to having someone read the story to me, and even then, I get bored fast a lot of the time (or sidetracked because I sit there going 'well, what they should have done was....).
#5 - I have thankfully never catalogged in my sleep (though by now you'd think I would have...) BUT, I have written html code in my sleep, and other computer coding, too. And I've written music in my sleep, too. There were also times I thought I was writing or typing in my sleep... but, never with the catalogging. Perhaps, on day...
