Book Meme
Meme stolen from Terry.
A book that made you cry: Stone Butch Blues, Leslie Feinberg A book that scared you: I don't read a lot of horror, so I'm going to say The Lies of George W Bush, by David Corn. A book that made you laugh: Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris A book in High School that you loved: To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee. A book in High School that you hated: A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens. (I mean, puh-lease. Two people who are not related, yet are identical?) A book that challenged your imagination: Challenged how, exactly? I don't really understand this question. I suppose The Fifth Sacred Thing, by Starhawk, would count. A book that challenged your morals: I really can't think of one. Sorry. A book that challenged your identity: Becoming a Man, Paul Monette A book series that you love: A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R. R. Martin. Runner-up would be His Dark Materials, by Philip Pullman. Your favorite Horror Novel: I've read precious few, but one stand-out is Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Your favorite Science Fiction Novel: Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card Your favorite Fantasy Novel: The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. It's Lord of the Rings, but with 3,000 fewer pages. A runner-up would be American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. Your favorite Romance Novel: If they mean any novel in which romance is a theme, then I'd say Madame Bovary, by Flaubert. If they mean Bodice-rippers, then I've only ever read one: The India Fan, by Victoria Holt. Your favorite "Coming-of-Age" Novel: Rubyfruit Jungle, by Rita Mae Brown Your favorite book not listed previously: Gee, since there was no category for "General Fiction" or "Literature," I have a whole lot of favorites that are not on the list: The Good Earth, by Pearl Buck; Dangerous Liaisons, by de Laclos; and Madame Rosa, by Roman Gary are three which spring to mind. |
