Ten Questions
It seems I've been challenged to answer some questions.
1: One book that changed your life?
Probably anything from Douglas Hill's 'Last Legionary' series. As a kid, that was when I knew I loved this stuff and was hooked for life...
2: One book you have read more than once?
Cyteen, CJ Cherryh. Worth reading more than once because it's so densely written you can get something entirely new from it each time.
3: One book you'd want on a desert Island?
Dunno... something on fishing?
4: One book that made you laugh?
The Hobbit, JRR Tolkein.
5: One book that made you cry?
Watership Down. Yeah, it was a while ago...
6: One book you wish had been written?
Several that I'm working on. I thought someone should write them, and further reckoned it should be me. Cunning, huh?
7: One book you wish you'd written?
If I'd written it, it wouldn't have been the same book. Unanswerable...
8: One book you are currently reading?
Inhaling the Mahatma, Christopher Kremmer
9: One book you have been meaning to read?
River of Gods, Ian McDonald
10: Now tag five people.
Condaleeza Rice, Nicolas Sarkozy, Danica Patrick, Hamid Karzai, Jodie Foster
Hey, I can wish, right?

3: One book you'd want on a desert Island?
Remember, I got dibs on the title, "How To Get The Hell Off a Desert Island". I just can't decide if it'll be a survival manual or a novel. Or a management primer. Or an autobiography.
Jodie Foster
She's probably a bit of a commie, but, yum, she just really does it for me.
Those were the five names that first sprang to mind in terms of me actually being interested in what they might be reading. Jodie Foster's a favorite of mine in part because I'm pretty sure she would be reading something... with some actresses, you wonder.
