1.Are you a bookworm? absolutely, always have been
2.Which do you prefer: hardcover, paperback or electronic? I prefer print books, but enjoy my Kindle. It has enabled me to indulge my book buying without worrying about the constrictions of space in my apartment and I have something to read wherever I go via the app on my phone
3. Which book is your favorite? The Lord of the Rings. I was introduced to JRR Tolkien when I was 17 and have been to Middle Earth many, many, many times
4. Which children’s book is your favorite? A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeline Engle
5. What’s the last book you’ve read? In the course of reading Walking on Eggshells and Jokers III
6. Name a book that had a strong impact on you: It would have to be 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -- given to me for Christmas, it was my first sci fi book and I re-read that paperback until it literally fell apart.
7. Favorite & least favorite book genres? Favorites are sci fi, fantasy and historical romances, and least favorite? Well I am not a fan of murder mysteries or twinkly vampires, but I will give most books a try for at least 50 pages....
8. Favorite & least favorite book-to-movie adaptions? I think that Peter Jackson did a great job with Tolkien. Least favorite? most movie adaptations are lame when compared to the books so the list is way too long here
9. Have you ever bought a book based on the cover alone? no
10. Where do you usually buy your books? these days to get the cutting edge books, I turn to Amazon.
11. Do you go to the library? not any more....
12. How many books do you own? not sure. It broke my heart when I moved and downsized because I had to get rid of over half of my library. I guess there is only about 1500 books left here now, and what I have on my Kindle adds another couple hundred
13. If you were to write a book about Second Life, which topic would you focus on? the focus would be on interaction and community, the way that we use our 2nd lives to overcome the roles that we have acquired in what we laughing call "real life". The impact on our hearts and minds.
