Cuz she rockses my sockses. (~PriestSnatcher, btw.)WITH AMAZON LINKS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE FRICK I'M TALKING ABOUT. :D

1) What author do you own the most books by?
Technically Kaori Yuki since I have 5-20 of Angel Sanctuary ([link]), but since I don't count that... *thinks* Chuck Palahniuk. I have everything except his book about Portland (Nonfiction) ([link]), and his new one, Pygmy. ([link])

2) What book do you own the most copies of?
If this was DVD's I could actually answer, since it's books... I think none? Oh, well I technically have two copies of Snuff by Chuck P. ([link])

3) Did it bother you that both those questions ended with prepositions?
Noooooope. :D

4) What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
*ponders* I'm particularly fond of Roland from the Dark Tower series, ([link]) he seems amazingly sexy to me for some reason. As far as non-literary? Dean Winchester? ([link]) *cheesy grin*

5) What book have you read the most times in your life?
Haha does Marvin K Mooney Will You Please Go Now? ([link]) by Dr. Seuss count? Novel-wise, Choke ([link]) by Chuck P or Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut. ([link]) Those two are without a doubt two of my very favorites of all time. And The Stand by Stephen King, but I've only read it once cuz it's LOOOOONG. ([link])

6) What was your favorite book when you were ten years old?
Teacher Vic is a Vampire...Retired. I loved that book.

7) What's the worst book you've read this past year?
Haha if I don't like a book I quit reading. I really haven't read anything terrible this year. Oh, WAIT. I read it in 2008 but it was within the past 12 months. Kung Fu High School. It was dumber than hell and it was depressing. ([link])

8) What is the best book you've read this past year?
Shit when did I read Out? Uhh.. cuz that's the best book I've read in a long, long time. ([link]) Seriously. It's fucking amazing.

9) If you could force everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be?
Probably Illusions. Really short but absolutely amazing. It really makes you question different aspects of life. ([link]) Oddly enough it isn't really religious, despite the title.

10) Who deserves to win the next Nobel Prize for literature?
Oh wow. Piss if I know. I don't exactly read the sorts of books that deserve Nobel Prizes. Can I say Vonnegut just because the man's a genius?

11) What book would you most like to see made into a movie?
If they could do Haunted right, oh sweet baby Jesus yes. It would actually make a superb HBO miniseries. Problem is they'd probably ruin it. ([link])

12) What book would you least like to see made into a movie?
Oh lawd. Honestly as LONG AS THEY DO IT RIGHT, I think most books have the potential to be great films. Except Cat's Cradle. I think it would be impossible to make Cat's Cradle work as a movie. I think the only person who could POSSIBLY do it would be Stanley Kubrick, and since he's dead, well, no.

13) Describe your weirdest dream involving a writer, book, or literary character.
*thinks* I think I had a dream about Dickens once. I don't really recall.

14) What is the most lowbrow book you've read as an adult?
Do the Anita Blake books count? They're like Twilight but with hardcore sex and the vampires aren't flaming homosexual glitterbugs. Also there's a vampire-vampire-necromancer-wereleopard fourway. And only the necromancer is female... ([link])

15) What is the most difficult book you've ever read?
Oh lord. Either Porno by Irvine Welsh ([link]) because of Spud's dialect, or American Psycho because it's just fucking boring. ([link])

16) Do you prefer the French or the Russians?
RUSSIANS. In Soviet Russia, book reads you!

17) Roth or Updike?
Don't know either... lol.

18) David Sedaris or David Eggers?
^^^^

19) Shakespeare, Milton or Chaucer?
Shakespeare for entertainment, to be sure, but I do love Milton too. Chaucer bores me to tears.

20) Austen or Elliot?
NEITHER. UGH.

21) What is the biggest or most embarrassing gap in your reading?
*shrugs* Whenever I read nothing but bad vampire sex books for several books on end.

22) What is your favorite novel?
The Stand, Choke, and Cat's Cradle. See up there?^

23) Play?
I'm gonna go with old fashioned ones and do Macbeth. I <3 Macbeth.

24) Short Story?
Oh god. Anything Poe or Lovecraft. ANYTHING.

25) Work of non-fiction?
OOOH! THE CSI CLEANUP CREW BOOK!! Uh... hold on... *googles* ([link]) Aftermath Inc. It's amazing, though not for the weak-stomached or faint.

26) Who is your favorite writer?
Chuck Palahniuk to be sure, he just makes me laugh way too hard not to love him. After him? Stephen King, and, um, *gulp* old Anne Rice. I've read almost all of her books....

27) Who is the most overrated writer alive today?
Stephenie Meyers.... fjalkjfajflafala. She makes me nauseous and I usually -LIKE- shitty vampire novels.

28) What is your desert island book?
The Stand because it's so damn long.

29) And ... what are you reading right now?
Dark Tower 2! Drawing of the Three. It's shiny. :D ([link])

  • Mood: Passionate
  • Listening to: Britt sleeping :D
  • Reading: Dark Tower 2: Drawing of the Three
