Our story so far: I had nothing to post on my blog, so I succumbed to the allure of a blog meme and revealed my darkest reading secrets. Only ten questions remain. How will I answer them? Find out now!
23. What is your favorite novel? I suppose Little Women because I keep rereading it.
24. Favorite play? I’ll say “Romeo and Juliet” because I like the 1968 movie version.
25. Favorite poem? “O What Is That Sound” by W. H. Auden
26. Favorite essay? Can’t think of an answer.
27. Favorite short story? “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson
28. Favorite work of nonfiction? This is an impossible question to answer.
29. Favorite writers? Almost every Victorian novelist I’ve ever read (except Wilkie Collins), and 20th century British historical novelists such as Norah Lofts, Catherine Cookson, and Mary Renault.
30. Who is the most overrated writer alive today? Boring literary writers who win a lot of awards
31. What is your desert island book? The Canterbury Tales. It’s about time I read it.
32. What are you reading now? The Snowball, The Black Swan, A Confederacy of Dunces, and I’ve just started The King’s Rose. (No wonder it takes me so long to finish anything!)
