hils1. A book you wish you'd written.
God, pretty much every book I've read. There are so many talented authors out there, all of whom I'd love to be able to write like. Hmm....I guess if I had to choose a specific book....I guess Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton. That's the sort of stuff I can imagine myself writing if I was any good.
2. An author you respect, and why.
I respect all authors. Anyone who's managed to get themselved published is good in my books.
3. A book you love even though you think it's kind of trashy.
Well, I love the Terry Brooks Shannara series. They're your stereostypical fantasy novel but they hold a dear place in my heart.
4. A book that's had a real impact on your life. Describe.
I tend to find myself more heavily influenced by people rather than books. I'm sure certain books have influenced me but I can't think of any examples
5. The book that you most often find yourself recommending to people.
Ack! There's loads. Um....The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Very cleverly written. Go read it!
Hmm....looking at this I see I have pretty feeble taste in books. I need to start reading less vampirey things and expand my book collection
