If you were a book, what kind of book would you be? Prose rather than poetry, slightly old-fashioned. I think something hard-backed belonging at the end of the shelf. With a blue-coloured cover.
What was your favorite book when you were little? Depends how little, but probably Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones.
What book(s) can you read over and over? There are loads, but particular favourites are: Lord of the Rings, The Ice King by Michael Scott Rohan, the Magician trilogy by Feist (and the Empire trilogy by Feist and Wurts), The Color Purple, Pride and Prejudice, anything by Diana Wynne Jones (except The Merlin Conspiracy), any Night Watch from Pratchett, A Big Boy Did It And Ran Away by Christopher Brookmyre and Count Zero by Gibson.
Do you buy/read books if you know nothing about the book or its author beforehand? Practically never. I think only when it has been recommended to me without details and, even then, only if I trust the person in question to know my tastes.
Have you ever bought/read a book just because you liked the cover art? If yes, do you think this is a good method for buying books? No - and therefore I don’t know!
What book(s) do you find yourself always recommending to people? The Color Purple, The Art of Murder by Jose Carlos Somoza, The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper; plus I should recommend Greg Bear’s Songs of Earth and Power more.
Now, for the tagging . . . five, you say...![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
