Day 16 - Favorite poem or collection of poetry:

For whatever reason, I love Samuel Taylor Coleridge (haha, well, not "whatever reason", I actually have a good reason xP). Sure, I like his more iconic poems, but one of my favourites is The Pains of Sleep. Don't ask. *shrug*

Day 17 - Favorite story or collection of stories:

It sucks that I don't even ( Read more... )

Day 15 - Your "comfort" book:

Hm...for me, this translates into "book that I can just pick up at random and read and enjoy and never get tired of just picking up at random to read and enjoy"...a comfy, familiar book, in other words, heh. In that case, I'm going to go with --weird as it may sound-- Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile. I LOVE Agatha ( Read more... )

Day 14 - Favorite character in a book:

OHH NOOOOOO, you can't make me pick! I REFUSE TO LET YOU MAKE ME PICK!!! DDDX

Awgh, seriously...this is incredibly hard. I mean, characters are THE REASON why I read books, and in many cases it's a 'favourite character' that makes me LIKE the book...at ALL. o___O;;; For example, I had to read Mrs. Dalloway for a ( Read more... )

Day 13 - Bad book habit?

Oh, easy, EASY question: to this day, EVEN though I have bookmarks, EVEN though I'm pretty damn good at memorizing which page I left off at...I STILL leave my poor books face-down and splayed open in order to save my place. It doesn't happen as often these days, but usually I'll do it when I know I'll only be away from the ( Read more... )

Day 12 - What books do you have on request at the library?

Aw, finally an easy one, but a sad one, as well: I don't have a library card with the Bryan library yet. :/ It's almost NEVER open when I can actually GO (i.e., evenings...it's a tiny town).

Day 09 - Best scene ever:

Oh, wow. Um. This meme is hard! I mean, BEST SCENE FROM ANY BOOK I'VE EVER READ??? So many books...so many scenes... ;_; Um...um...I'm going to be a shameless thief and steal an answer from Beth, whose fault it is that I'm doing this meme to begin with: MANY of the scenes from The Princess Bride are oustandingly hilarious ( Read more... )

Day 08 - A book everyone should read at least once:

Hmm...a tough question. I've got dozens of suggestions, but only one? Gah. Er.

I'll take the funny route and go with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It'll teach you anything and everything you ever needed to know about life, the universe and everything. :| Just don't panic and don't forget ( Read more... )

Day 7 - Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise:

Character A was related to Character B all along (and nobody except Character C knew it) and so now that it's been revealed EVERYTHING IS HUNKY-DORY!!! :O

...really, I can't tell you how many times. I can't even list all the books where this happens. ( Read more... )

Day 06 - Favorite book of your favorite series:

LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS. XDDDD I...I already answered this one! Haha, maybe this is why I should look ahead and see what the questions on the meme are instead of doing them day-to-day. ^_^;;

Okay, well...I mean, the answer hasn't changed. It's still "Lion in the Valley", the 4th book in the Amelia Peabody ( Read more... )

Day 05 - A book or series you hate:

*sigh* Well, my first instinct is to reply with "Twilight, of course!"...but I only ever managed to get about a paragraph or two into the first chapter of the first book before giving up in light of the INSUFFERABLE writing-style (not to mention the content)...so is it fair for me to hate it?

...Um, the answer is ( Read more... )
