1) What is the best book you've read?
My all time favorite book is American Gods by Neil Gaimen. I remember finding it at the library, reading it twice before returning it and then immediately buying it and reading it again. I now have the original copy I bought, the 10th anniversary author's preferred text, and the audio book. I love that every time I read it, I find something new.
2) What is the worst book you've read?
Oh man, there are a few that were pretty bad. Misery by Stephen King is usually the one I think of first. I don't think I finished it, it was so bad. I generally really like his books, but Misery felt like I was the one being tortured.
3) What is a favourite book from childhood?
My favorite childhood book has to be Dangerous Spaces by Margaret Mahy. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first books I read with a supernatural element. I really loved the idea that dreams could be real. I reread it a few years ago to see if it still held up and while I had forgotten a few things, the feelings the book evoked were the same.
4) What is a favourite book from adulthood?
The best book I've read in the last few years is Finding Dorothy by Elizabeth Letts. Its a beautiful historical fiction story about the wife of L. Frank Baum.
5) What is a book you've read a number of times?
The one I've read the most is probably American Gods, but I also love to pick up The Princess Bride by William Goldman and just flip to a page and start reading.
