What’s Your Favourite Book?

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

pigeon2.jpgI am a bit of a worrier when it comes to my blogs. I worry that I’m not putting up what people want to read or putting up things that are boring…

Any time, feel free to contact me using the ‘contact me’ button under the site description if you have an idea or something you’d like to read about. Or even if you’d like to guest post here.

My worrying brought me to looking through the archives, and I found this, where Elisa had put up a list of people’s favourite books. Author’s favourite books, to be exact.

I would like to get that going.

If you have a favourite book you’d like to talk about, let me know. The beauty of it is you can gush about your favourite books, and it doesn’t have to be a book review. All you need is a few quick words (or more) about why you like it. When I get a few, I’ll post them up.

You can send them to me either via email or using the contact me button I mentioned above.

I love hearing people talk about their favourite books, and I’m looking forward to hearing about yours!

Authors’ Favorite Books

question.jpg

Long-time readers of this blog may have noticed that I have a habit of asking folks about their favorite book. I’m particularly fond of asking that question in interviews. So, when Gillian of Food History mentioned that she was going to be at an Australian SF Convention, and offered to ask one question of the assembled writer throng for me, you can imagine what I requested. And the best part? She got all sorts of answers for me, and typed them up with some commentary. All hail Gillian! I’m sure that you are curious to learn about the reading habits of Australian SF/Fantasy/Horror writers, so read on. (Note: many of the authors chose one favorite out of their several favorites, so while the book listed may not be their ultimate favorite it is still *a* favorite.) I can see that there is much reading in my future. By the way, Gillian’s current favorite book(s) are “Ursula Le Guin’s Always Coming Home or maybe the Ellen Kushner duology.”
