1. We've all heard the phrase, "Don't judge a book by its cover." Have you ever picked up a book based solely on the title or the picture on the cover?
No....but sometimes yes,based on the author..

2. Along the same lines, do you ever look at whichever book someone else is reading in public or whatnot, and based on that make a snap judgment about their character or literary taste? (I realize this might not seem all that clear, so let me give an example- for instance, whenever I see someone reading War and Peace, the first word that pops into my mind is "pretentious." Most of the people I've known who carry that book around just do it to get attention and demonstrate how "smart" they are, when they actually never get past page 10).
None

RM 0.80, No....

5. How many books do you own (and if you're not a nerd like me and don't know the exact number, guess-timate)?

Yes...of course

7. If you keep books, what makes you keep them? What kind of books do you keep?
because of its value....and story of course...novel & buku2 ilmiah...

No....
