It's not preference but relative importance, n'est pas?

1. Content, but only because prose without content isn't very useful. Stupid question imo.
2. Prose, but I like poetry too
3. Hard copy, I only read ebooks when hard copies are unobtainable or I'm too broke to buy books
4. Sure
5. Fiction, only because I haven't read enough non-fiction to have a strong opinion on it.
6. Both? I've read continental more and feel like analytical is beyond me at the moment.

Also if you prefer content over style doesn't it make sense to prefer fiction over non-fiction ? If information is more important than the way it is presented then non-fictional info must also be more important, no?

I'd place legend and folk tale between and above both, however

From a pure humanistic view I would have to say content.
Prose poetry
E-book for first read. If you enjoy the book enough to add to your personal library, only then do you buy a hard copy
sure
fiction
analytic
plato
Iliad
sure
Shakespeare
Whitman
Yes to all three

The two are inextricably linked. Anyone who asks this question doesn't understand art, doesn't understand literature as a medium, and didn't go to college.

yes
1) style
2) I prefer prose personally but I have nothing against poetry and think it can be a much purer form
3) hard
4) it's a dumb category, though I suppose a good rule of thumb is anything calling itself postmodernist is probably shit
5) Fiction or non-fiction?
6) not sure about these categories either, but I don't know enough about philosophy to properly answer
7) plato
8) odyssey by far
9) yes
10) shakespeare though I love milton too ... i think it's pretty dumb to pick one or the other
11) whitman, though I don't care much for either
