A book nerd meme.
1. Your favorite novel when you were in elementary school: Did we read "novels" in elementary? I guess it would be Tuck Everlasting, or Where the Red Fern Grows.
2. Your favorite novel when you were in Middle School (or grades 6-9): I liked role-playing novels at this time. I don't remember what they were called, but I have the whole collection of them.
3. Your favorite novel when you were in high school: Boys Life by Robert McGammon
4. Favorite novel from college: I didn't have much time to read in college. But I remember another McGammon book that was amazing- Gone South.
5. Your all-time favorite novel: I'm really bad at picking favorites.. Probably the same answer as #4. It was a really great book.
6. Your favorite novelist: McGammon, and Patricia Cornwell, oh, Stephen King, Dean Koontz...
7. The best novel you've read that you think others may not have read: Probably any of them I've mentioned so far. I don't read that many novels though.
8. The funniest book you’ve read: Either Working Stiff by Grant Stoddard, or Romance, Riches, and Restrooms by Tim Phelan
9. The longest novel you’ve read: I tend to stay away from the real long ones...
10. The most influential book you read in college: We Were Soldiers Once, and Young. We read it for Military and Culture class. It's a great movie too.
11. The most influential academic book you read in a master’s program: Anything by Iika Hanski. He wrote on metapopulation ecology. And he's Finnish. :)
12. The most influential non-fiction book you have read recently: Oh gosh, all I read is non-fiction! Garbage Land by Elizabeth Royte. Everyone should read that. Winter World by Bernd Heinrich.
13. Your current favorite book on religion/spirituality: Ummm...I don't think I've read one. I guess Eat, Pray, Love would count in this category though, and I liked that book.
14. Your favorite autobiography: Romance, Riches, and Restrooms, and The Cactus Eaters.
15. Your favorite biography: Hmm, there's a few of course. Into the Wild is by far the best. Also, The Golden Spruce. And I read a kd lang biography in college that was really interesting.
16. Your favorite science-fiction/fantasy: Can I make this category horror/thriller? The Stand by Stephen King.
17. What's on your to-be-read pile at the moment? Thats a BIG pile. Swampwalker's Journal, Off the Map, Nickel Mountain..the list goes on and on...
18. What book could you read over and over and never get tired of it? Charlie Rangers. I've read it twice so far. Its the best Vietnam memoir I've ever read. My high school boyfriend let me read his copy and I loved it. Its the book that started a series of other Vietnam reads.
