FF is taking a break this week, so I’m going back and doing one of the older ones that I never answered, located here.
1. What was the last book you read?
Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep, if you don’t count graphic novels. If you do, I tore through Stan Sakai’s Grasscutter II last night. (Usagi Yojimbo is some of the best storytelling in any genre.)
2. What’s your favorite book of all time?
I was absolutely blown away by The Most Beautiful Woman in Town when I first read it, but it didn’t do as much for me the second time (which doesn’t mean I wouldn’t recommend it). I suppose if you go by reading-repetitions, it’s The Lord of the Rings, which I’ve read about fifteen times.
3. What’s the worst book you’ve ever read?
Stephen R. Donaldson’s first Thomas Covenant book. That he got paid actual money to write that pile of crap is astonishing to me.
4. What book that you’ve read would you most like to see adapted into a movie?
Death, the High Cost of Living, by Neil Gaiman
5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?
- Friday
- OA or Spiderman tonight.
- The sprinkler system should be fixed today!
- Saturday
- Carpet shampooing, paint touch-ups, serious spring cleaning, and some yard work, including laying the stepping stones. The in-laws are in town next weekend, so it’s go-time!
- Spiderman
- Cry Havoc people are coming over that night.
- Sunday
- Basically I’ll be doing whatever I didn’t get done with on Saturday, bracketed by Starting and Stopping the Gameday at Collectormania. (I’m very lucky to have two reliable people handling the in-between at CM this weekend so that I don’t have to babysit. Knock on wood.)
