Books:
2) What was your favorite book/series as a child?
I loved the Redwall saga, as well as The Series of Unfortunate Events and Harry Potter of course. When I was really little I loved the My Father’s Dragon series. Also, does Calvin & Hobbes count?
3) Top 5 Books
That’s a tall order, at the moment I’m going to go with Wise Blood by Flannery O’Connor, Naked by David Sedaris, Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, The Twits by Roahl Dahl, and East of Eden by Steinbeck (honorable mention for Heart of Darkness and The Curious Sofa, a Pornographic Work by Ogdred Weary by Edward Gorey)
4) Top 5 Writers
They all have their moments, but I’m partial to the ones listed above.
26) A book/series you hate
I distinctly remember trying to read Watership Down and having violent flashbacks of being traumatized by the cartoon as a child, so I couldn’t finish it. I’ve never gotten far enough in a book to deem it hate-worthy. Although I do think too much emphasis is put on The Great Gatsby in high school English classes.
