1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper,
novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?

I like reading collections of essays (David Sedaris, Sarah Vowell, Marion Winik) however I read
an inane amount of magazines more than anything else. I subscribe to 8 different
magazines. (At least I think it's 8. It could be more.) On top of those, I always stop at the magazine rack at the
grocery store, Borders, where ever. I wonder if there is a support
group for this particular addiction.

2. What is your favorite novel?

The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler. It's the story of Macon Leary, a
slightly obsessive compulsive travel writer who is separated from his wife
following the death of their son and Muriel Pritchett the dog trainer who helps
him heal and love again.

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)

I'm not sure if I have a favorite. Lately I have been captivated by Ani
DiFranco's poem tamburitza
lingua. I've been listening
to it over and over.

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time
to read?

For many months I would start reading Chapter One of Toni Morrison's Paradise
but I never got past page sixteen.

5. What are you currently reading?

Screening Party by Dennis Hensley. It is horribly edited (there are so
many typos!) but it is very very funny. I have honestly never laughed out
loud as much reading a book. Once or twice I even did one of those awful snort
laughs.
