The Questions For Me:
If you had to choose one book that you have read that everyone else would have to read, what book would you choose?
...I don't know. Wow. I have a list... Street Lawyer, by John Grisham. Luck in the Shadows, by Lynn Flewelling. Good Omens, by Gaiman and Pratchett. Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Anne of Green Gables, by LM Montgomery. ANYTHING by Mark Twain... For so many reasons, at least those are my mandatory-for-humanity reading list. Don't tell me classics are worth shit because you'd just be wrong.
The worst book you’ve ever read/that one guilty pleasure?
I Want to Go Home! by Gordon Korman... (it's a kid's book from the 80's so falls under the guilty pleasure, not worst book ever.)
If you could spend one week in the world of any one book which book would you choose?
Good GAWD. Easy: the world of the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling.
If you could have a sleepover with 3 literary characters who would you invite?
Tom Sawyer, Athos, and Anne Shirley... because 1) there'd be adult supervision and 2) then three of us who live in the adventures in our heads and 3)Tom would still find us real adventures along the way and 4) jfc what is this question doing to my brain?!
What is one book that surprised you?
Wow. I don't know. It depends on the definition of the word "surprised" I think. I live in a constant state of curiosity and surprised I think so this is just wide open. Shakespeare's plays surprised me for being entertaining. Mark Twain's stuff surprised me for the shit he got away with at the time he got away with it. The Bible (yeah, that one) surprised me for the fact that it's so different from how my religion growing up chose to interpret it; I respect it more for it's literary value than for the religion it spawned, tbh.Â
My questions:
What’s your top 5 favorite books?
What book/series can you not live without? (as in, it follows you on long vacations or is the last thing packed/first thing unpacked when you move, etc. The "...Deserted Island" book.)
What was your earliest ship/OTP from books? What ships stuck with you/do you still ship them or think you were crazy back then?
How often do you re-read a book you like?
What book or literary character can you most relate to?
