One book that changed your life:
Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was the book that made me a geek, made me want to write, and made me realize that creating your own languages was not completely wierd.
One book that you’ve read more than once:
The above answer would fit well here, too, but let me pick something different for each question, if I can. So: Wild Cards, edited by George R.R. Martin.
One book you’d want on a desert island:
Let’s go with a timeless classic for that: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.
One book that made you laugh:
Um. Something by Terry Pratchett. Eeny, meeny, miny: Wyrd Sisters.
One book that made you cry:
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s Blood Games. Nothing like sitting in a man’s head while everyone he loves dies a horrible, violent death he can’t do anything about to get that reaction from me.
One book that you wish had been written:
How about the one I haven’t finished writing yet my own self?
One book that you wish had never been written:
Probably the one from the Dune series that I never finished. The fifth one, I think: Heretics of Dune. I got about half a chapter into it and then asked myself why bother.
One book you’re currently reading:
Charles de Lint’s From a Whisper to a Scream.
One book you’ve been meaning to read:
Le Mort d’Arthur. I got it as a wedding gift, nigh on 13 years ago, and still it sits there, taunting me.
