1) Shakespeare or the Bible.
Shakespeare  - going to see some live Shakespeare at the end of August at the Globe. Woohoo!

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine. 
A Midsummer Night’s Dream Quote. Act ii. Scene.1

2) Most romantic moment in fiction.
It must be someting by Jane Austen. Probably involving Colin Firth or Matthew Macfadyen Mr Darcy.

*ooh - I've gone all gooey inside looking at that picture*

3) Favourite word? Tickateeboo. Closely followed by 'plum'.

4) Most overrated writer(s)
Dan Brown. Nice stories, atrocious writer. Clive Cussler comes a close second. Followed by J K Rowling.

5) Most underrated writer(s)
Hmm...Alistair Reynolds? Excellent sci fi writer, although he may be well recognised already , I don't know. George RR Martin, also sci fi/fantasy. His Song of Ice and Fire series is excellent, one of the best series I've ever read of the genre.

6) Best meal in literature
Er, OK. Stumped on this one. What did they eat at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? The talking pig.

7) Favourite novel in translation
?? Stumped again.

8) Favourite children's book
C S lewis collection.

9) Books by your bedside
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows  - JK Rowling. Sorry - for what it's worth, I don't think it's very good.

10) Sexiest book
?? Don't think I read sexy books. Remember those erotic fictions back in the 90s though? By Nancy someone? I had a couple of them.



Thanks Meno and Landers. A little more cerebral than your average meme.
