Because I'm bored and I haven't done this meme for a while...
Authors & Books...
1. Who is your favorite author? I don't think that I have a single favorite author. I love science fiction and vampire tales, so some of my favorites are P. N. Elrod, Anne Rice, Terry Pratchett, and C. J. Cherryh.
2. What is the first novel you ever read? Damn! That's going back a long time. It was either Beverly Cleary's The Mouse And The Motorcycle or E. B. White's Charlotte's Web.
3. What is your favorite book? C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner. The first book in a series that got me completely hooked, not only on the series, but also on the author.
4. What is the worst book you've ever read? I am sad to say that one of my favorite authors also wrote one of the worst books that I ever tried to read. Anne Rice's The Tale Of The Body Thief was so bad that I couldn't even finish reading it!
5. Who is your least favorite author? That would have to be Stephen King. Although some of his books are excellent (Carrie, The Dead Zone, Misery), most of them are what my high school English teacher called "pot boilers", novels written just to fulfill contractual obligations.
