Copied this from engarian ! Thanks for digging it up from whatever corner of the Internet it was hiding.

Comment with the # (or a few numbers) you want me to answer.

(To make it easier for me and you, if you actually copy the number AND the query, I won't have to look everything up, and anyone else reading won't have to either. A win/win for everyone. In

3 - oldest book: I suppose Beowulf, though obviously the copy I read wasn't very old! If you're asking what actual book have I held in my hands that's the oldest, probably original Tarzan books that were my father's (that my mother, when I went to college, apparently gave away in a fit of downsizing, because they disappeared and I know *I* didn't get rid of them).

19 - book set on another planet: yep, loads of sci-fi on other words, plus a lot of non-earth fantasy. Most recent favorite: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.

30 - book to borrow/buy/read next: right now I had to put aside John Scalzi's "The Collapsing Empire" (which also fits as an answer to #19!) to do an unofficial beta on Michael Sullivan's "Age of Death" (unofficial because there's not time for his usual full-on, survey-with-each-chapter beta because he has to get the book to the publisher), but after I'm done with the beta read, I'll probably go back to Scalzi's book and after that, I have a free copy of Robert Jordan's "New Spring" to try. I've never read the Wheel of Time books but have wanted to, so here's my chance to see if it's my cuppa.
