1. One book you have read more than once: I read most books more than once. To me it's just like watching a movie more than once or listening to a CD more than once, which my friends just don't understand. Anyway, some of my favorites are To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Brief Intervals of Horrible Sanity by Elizabeth Gold, The Virgin Suicides and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, and the entire Harry Potter series.

2. One book you would want on a desert island: Blankets by Craig Thompson. It covers so many emotions and it’s a beautiful story. Plus it’s a graphic novel, so it wouldn’t be tough to read if I got weak.

3. One book that made you laugh: Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. You’ve gotta love any book that starts out with a story about speech therapy.

4. One book that made you cry: Again, Blankets by Craig Thompson

5. One book you wish you had written: Trans-Sister Radio by Chris Bohjalian. It deals with transgendered issues, which I know a bit about. Anyway, nothing that was in that book was news to me so I figure I could have written it without doing much background research. Also, it’s a good book.

6. One book you wish had never been written: David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I had to read it over the summer for a high school English class, and I HATED it. By the end I wanted to throttle David, he was so irritating. I liked Great Expectations much better.

7. One book you are currently reading: I’m not reading anything right now, although I have a small pile of books that Mike wants me to read. Maybe after the wedding.

8. One book you have been meaning to read: Um…the entire small pile.

9. One Book That Changed Your Life: Gone With the Wind. It was the first really thick book that I read, and I learned not to shy away from a book just because it’s long. Now I get long books on purpose because they last longer, so I’m glad I learned that lesson early on.
