Of course I stole this idea from BookEnds LLC! Their blog is terrific, and if you're not reading it regularly, you're missing out on great information.
Here's my entry:

Jetsetter or armchair traveler:
Armchair these days. I used to love to travel but now you need a crowbar to pry me out of NYC.

I love what Jessica Faust said: "1/2 full and then some!" Me tooo!

Iced tea; hot coffee
Ereader or Print book:
I love print. I didn't know how much I loved it till I got my Kindle. I love my Kindle for mss and for quick peeks inside books, but for Sunday morning on the couch, nothing beats a print book. I'm glad I don't really have to choose.
Morning person or Evening person:
Night owl by nature; morning person by necessity. I should move to London so I can start work at 5pm!
Working soundtrack:
This and this

Ha, I love this. And I miss visiting with you via twitter and other means.
*Sends cookies, hugs and generous about of scotch to keep that glass more than half full*
Fun! Love the music. You know the teen fiddler who is in my book trailer and wrote a tune to go with my book? Sarah Tradewell...she also plays classical viola. Check these KIDS out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXJnAqgXC2o Now go fetch your socks from across the room. Amazing, eh?
I'd ask you out. And, love the music. ;-)
You and Rhett Butler??? Give him a break, Janet. The poor man doesn't even know how to swim.
*laughing hysterically*
Fun post, Janet! Jack Reacher, eh? Checking out your current book list, too.
People always fail to realize that glass half-empty is a good thing when the glass contains scotch.
It means you've just had half a glass of scotch and there's another half to go.
The glass depends on if it is cheap wine or Chivas.
As far as getting up is concerned,always remember the early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Janet,
I would pick Margaret Mitchell and Rhett Butler too.
However, I am suprised that you didn't pick Peter Benchley.
Moving to London and starting the day at 5 sounds great, count me in.
If you hang out with the right folks, your glass is never half empty. It gets down a bit, then just seems to magically re-fill itself. Somewhat like an experience I once had at a bar in Geneva...
