Weigh In Wednesday (5)

This meme is strictly a Something vs. Something type of thing. The purpose is for it to be short, interactive, and something fun to do halfway through the week and is being sponsored by Epilogue Review .

This Weeks Topic is Poetry vs. Prose 

I have never really read a story in poetry but have heard heard they are great. Maybe one day I will try it. Just never really been that big a fan of poetry to be honest. I like the short poems that rhyme if that's any indication how little I know about it! I do think Haiku's are fun though. Prose I think is better suited to what I would like to read. I actually have to admit defeat and totally had to look up the difference in the two because I honestly didn't understand what the difference was and according to the page I found HERE, it says that prose is more laid back in structure than poetry therefore making poetry more difficult to write because it is more an art form which thinking of the two in those terms I can see it now and still I conclude that I find prose more appealing to myself.

So what's your preference?

This Weeks Topic is Anthologies vs. Novellas 

I am not all together sure I like either one. Anthologies would appear to be better on one hand I guess because you would be getting a collection of short stories but the novella is usually more in depth than a short story just shorter than a regular novel. I really don't like either one nor do I read them usually. I would heap rather have a regular length novel.

What do you think?

This Weeks Topic is Love Triangles vs. Insta-Love  

Both are pretty rotten because in the love triangle although it's pretty cool seeing the characters "fight for the prize" it gets old fast and obviously somebody is gonna be left out soon enough. The insta-love sux as well because you don't get to know the characters much separately before they get head over heels with each other. If I totally had to choose one of the two though it would be the love triangle because I feel there is a heap more action and conflicts going on there.

Leave me a comment below and let me know what you have to say on the subject.

This Weeks Topic is Contemporary Vs. Fantasy 

Ha! Another toughie however I do think I can sway myself over more so on the fantasy side. Although according to Best Fantasy Books.com Urban Fantasy which is my favorite is actually a mixture of Contemporary and Fantasy so here again I'm back to riding the fence again! LOL You can read more about their listings of the different types of fantasies HERE I still would consider myself more of a fantasy lover though because I enjoy more than Urban. Urban is just my favorite.

I have found myself reading more in the contemporary field here lately just to keep my horizons broad but usually if given the choice of a contemporary book or a fantasy it's going to be the fantasy!

So there's my choice! (Fantasy) Which do you prefer?
