Friday 5: Books!

1. Do you enjoy reading?
Yes

2. What is the first book you remember reading?
The Little Engine That Could. Yes, really.

3. Who is your favourite author?
::Whines:: I could never pick just one. Um. Fine. Terry Pratchett.

4. What is your favourite book?
The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett. Only because reading it aloud is such a treat.

5. What is the last book you read and the first you'll read next? [sic]
I am almost ashamed to admit this, but I recently completed New Moon, the second Twilight Book and have just started Eclipse, the third one. I'm not reading the series so much because I like it, more because I want to see what the fuss is about. And because I have a 10 year old daughter, so refreshing myself as to how stilted adolescent thinking can be might be helpful. But the heroine is just so dumb about herself and some of the things that go on around her (which can alternately be interpreted as Stephanie Meyer being really bad at writing a character who's clueless compared to the reader). It's not horrible, but it's not great either.

Games day: rather lean but fun.

Thanks for coming over, slammer2012! We had a blast playing Rock Band and Mario Kart with you. Thank you for lending us Mario Kart.
