“…thought your little heart was going to break in two?”
Chris Issac, Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing.

Stolen from Corbeau (and nothing to do with the title).

1) To what magazines do you subscribe?
None, but I buy Bizarre every month

2) What magazines do you not subscribe to, but for some reason find yourself picking up at the grocery store while you’re standing in line for the register?
None

3) In what book(s) do you currently have bookmarks (‘bookmarks’ include stray envelopes, pictures or sheets of toilet paper)?
Day of the Jackal, Trainspotting (I think) and probably a few others

4) What was the last book you finished?
The Polish Officer by Alan Furst

5) What is your favorite “children’s” book or series?
Harry Potter, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven

6) What is your favorite “teen” book or series?
The Three Investigators

7) If you were stranded on a deserted island with only three books, what would you want them to be?
God. Do series of books count? If they do then the Harry Potter books, The Hannibal Lecter series and the H2G2 books. If not then The Polish Officer, The Hobbit and Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel

8) What two authors – dead or alive – would you like to meet?
Douglas Adams and Thomas Harris

9) If you were to become a best-selling author, what kind of books would you write?
Dunno

10) About how many books do you own?
Don’t ask. Too many to count

A couple from school (Macbeth and To Kill a Mockingbird) and one from school (Capital vol. 1 by Karl Marx)

12) What books do you own that you haven’t read, including coffee-table books?
Again too many to count. I’m terrible for buying books from charity shops and not reading them

13) What book would your friends be surprised to know that you own and have read?
The Bitch Rules by Elizabeth Wurtzel. It is a set of rules for life for women, but I have Wurtzels two other books and wanted to complete the set.

14) What book were you surprised that you enjoyed?
The Polish Officer by Alan Furst. I only bought it because it was on promotion for £1. It’s a war book, which I don’t usually enjoy, but this is really good

15) What book were you surprised that you disliked? I don’t think I ever really have.
Although, I did try reading a John Grisham novel and gave up cos it was rubbish.

Hannibal, A Clockwork Orange and Briget Jones Diary.

Ford Prefect ‘cos I’d get to travel the Galaxy. Or Marvin the Paranoid Android as he is a positive influence on my life

Dunno. Gandalf from The Hobbit. Or Arthur Dent. Or Dr Lecter

20) Any books you wish you had never taken the time to read?
Not really, no.
