fun meme :O) I think it's a toss up between S.K. and Dean Koontz for me. I can't seem to resist buying thier books. But J.K. Rowling comes in third.
Where The Wild Things Are is awesome, they're making a film version.

Geek Love is one of my favorites as well. It's a great book, and you've reminded me that I need to re-read it.

I loved reading your answers. I really want to re-read House of Leaves on day. I'm really annoyed that my ex "stole" it from me. Grrrr!! :) Love Rocky Horror Picture Show, although I'm not sure it is my favorite musical. Probably Les Mis for that one. Fun Fun Fun!

I subscribed to your blog feed during the readathon, and I'm so glad I have, if only for the Geek Love love. Obviously, you are a woman of great taste, because that's one of my favorite books as well. I recommend it to just about everyone.

I also agree with your comments about low brow literature. I have a soft spot for camp, too--that's why I read romance novels, and there definitely is a lot of the other type of book you mentioned as lowbrow trying to be legit as well. I agree with your comments about King, too. I love his early works, but the last thing I tried to read by him--Cell--was so bad I couldn't finish it. I also agree with your thoughts on Stephenie Meyer, though I think bashing her is kind of a meme in and of itself among a certain section of readers--myself included--who did not adore Twilight and its sequels.

Anyway, yeah Geek Love and great answers!

I definitely agree with you on #29. I love Stephen King - I own every one of his books and have enjoyed all but one. Lisey's Story was so awful that it took me five months of reading it in small spurts to get through it. That book was probably only a bestseller because of King's name (in my opinion). Nowadays, Dean Koontz books are driving me nuts (overly descriptive sentences, five dollar words, moralizing, heroic dogs, etc) and all of his books go bestseller - probably because of name recognition. Great meme :)

Cool, it was good to get to know you better. I'd do it too but there are a lot of questions there I could never answer. Like the which authors is better ones (i.e. Roth or Updike) because the only author out of those questions I've read is Sedaris.

Great meme! I totally agree with you on Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer being overrated, although King is definitely the better of the two.

I love Dante!

I love your answers! I totally forgot about Bigby!...

Stephen King is one of the authors I own the most books of too. Love Bigby too! Hubby adores The Dark Tower series and he's always hoping for a movie adaptation.

I agree with you about Stephen King.
Dude, I have mad love for him, but he's been pitchy lately (pop quiz: what have I been watching?) and Just After Sunset was ... ordinary.
I was a scared kid, so came to V C Andrews a bit later than 10. And Stephen King _ I still won't read him at night if I can help it.
You're one of my favourite bloggers too. :)

Okay, I am totally making the guy read this. He said there was no way I was reading V.C. Andrews when I was ten! I actually think I went through my Stephen King period around then, too. It died soon afterwards...

And, wow, on not thinking of musicals for the play question. I was having a moment, I guess! Now I want to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show! I seriously LOVE that movie. I tell people if they ever talk me into singing karaoke it would be 'The Time Warp' because you don't have to be a good singer for that song!

I love that your three favourite books of the last year are some of my favourite books ever. I have never read Geek Love, though, and the library does not have!

Grimms Fairy Tales is a good desert island book. I never thought of that one!
