I love stuff about books and such. I read for my own enjoyment, and read what I'd like to write (but don't write that well), so my choices are a bit on the light side. (Thanks to Scout for the idea and the questions - I stole it without asking...)


What are you reading right now?

****SWEET REVENGE by Diane Mott Davidson, a light mystery set near Denver Colorado

Do you have any idea what you'll read when you're done with that?

****THE ANIMATED MAN, by Michael Barrier, a bio of Walt Disney, assuming the library gets it in. Because I will only have a couple weeks to digest it.

What's the worst thing you were ever forced to read?

****Most of the stuff I was "forced" to read seemed to be a chore at the time, like LORD JIM or THINGS FALL APART. But really I can't say I've hated anything.

What's the one book you always recommend to just about everyone?

****In SF, it's probably ENDERS GAME by Orson Scott Card. In Horror/Fantasy, probably THE SHINING by King. And in Mystery, it's probably GONE FOR GOOD by Harlan Coben.

Admit it, the librarians at your library know you on a first name basis, don't they?

****No, but the clerk at the Borders Express does.

Do you read books while you eat?

****I would but my wife doesn't like it.

While you bathe?

****Hard to read in the shower.

While you watch movies or TV?

****Occasionally but it's hard to do both.

While you listen to music?

****Yes, often.

While you're on the computer?

****No.

While you're having sex?

****No.

While you're driving?

****No but stopped at lights I do sometimes.

What's the last thing you stayed up half the night reading because it was so good you couldn't put it down?

****It's been a long time. Maybe Book 7 of the Dark Tower series by King.
