This is a crazy, spur-of-the-moment list, just for fun. Tell me your picks — as many as you like, and I’ll post all mine … some time … somewhere. 😀 How’s that for specific?
Ready? Which is your preference?

I’ll stop at 25. Pick any you’d like to answer and if you want to elaborate and explain your pick, I’d love to hear that, too.
I might put mine in a comment or maybe I’ll answer in another post. Some of these I wish I could turn into a poll because I’d be curious to see what the consensus is. But as it stands, this is just for fun. No insidious ulterior motive on my part. Looking forward to seeing what you think.

Ooo, this looks fun! And I needed a break 🙂
a Mac or PC: Definitely Mac
Narnia or Lord of the Rings: Lord of the Rings
science fiction or fantasy: Fantasy
classical or country: Classic
books or ereaders: Both
Facebook or Twitter: Facebook
LinkedIn or Pinterest: Neither
YA books or adult: Prefer adult more, but do read YA
mystery or suspense: Suspense
Dancing with the Stars or So You Think You Can Dance: I don’t dance 🙂
The Voice or American Idol: I don’t sing either 🙂
Survivor or Amazing Race: Nope, I stay home
Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum: I haven’t read up on them yet…
Old Testament or New Testament: Both, but maybe the OT a little more…
Apostle Paul or Apostle Peter: How about John?
Elijah or Daniel: Daniel (and not because he shares the same name as my husband!)
Tom Sawyer or Lord of the Flies: Tom Sawyer
Denver Broncos or Oakland Raiders: Broncos
Tim Tebow or Jeremy Linn: Tim Tebow
Corrie ten Boom or Elizabeth Elliot: Both
iPad or Kindle Fire: iPad
grace or mercy: I need both!
Christian fiction or general market fiction:I enjoy both, but I hate running into scenes that I don’t want stuck in my head (photographic memory) so I avoid books that have a lot of violence, sex, or cussing.
New York Times or Wall Street Journal: Neither
hymns or choruses: What about Gregorian Chants 🙂

a Mac or PC: PC
Narnia or Lord of the Rings: Narnia
science fiction or fantasy: fantasy
classical or country: classical, but Christian Rock is my favorite
books or ereaders: books if I’m reading at home, but e-readers are better on the go.
Facebook or Twitter: facebook
LinkedIn or Pinterest: Linkedin
YA books or adult: YA
mystery or suspense: mystery
Dancing with the Stars or So You Think You Can Dance: Neither
The Voice or American Idol: Neither
Survivor or Amazing Race: Neither (I don’t watch TV)
Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum: Ron Paul
Old Testament or New Testament: New Testament
Apostle Paul or Apostle Peter: Peter
Elijah or Daniel: Elijah
Tom Sawyer or Lord of the Flies: Tom Sawyer
Denver Broncos or Oakland Raiders: Neither
Tim Tebow or Jeremy Linn: Who?
Corrie ten Boom or Elizabeth Elliot: Corrie ten Boom
iPad or Kindle Fire: neither for reading because they are back-lit, I use a regular Kindle for e-reading. iPad is the better tablet imo, but my Galaxy is pretty nice too.
grace or mercy: grace, but can you have one without the other?
Christian fiction or general market fiction: general market fiction
New York Times or Wall Street Journal: Neither
hymns or choruses: hymns tend to be more theologically sound but I don’t like the archaic language- especially in hymns that weren’t written when that language was modern. Choruses tend to be more upbeat and worshipful, but are more likely to have goofy lyrics that I can’t sing without busting out laughing as I wonder if everyone realizes what they are saying (strings of unrelated trite Christian phrases are the worst- there has to be a coherent theme). SO, my favorites tend to be old hymns with updated language and refitted with worshipful choruses that compliment the hymn well.

I’m really enjoying your answers, but you all are such rebels — neither or both. Seriously! 😆 I don’t blame you on some of them. New Testament or Old, for instance, or grace versus mercy. OK, so maybe when it’s my turn I’ll be a rebel too. 😉
Thanks to each of you for taking the time to participate.
