jawnbc1.What’s your favorite book?
The Stranger by Albert Camus. Concise, compelling, and techtonically shifted my view of the universe.
2. What book made you laugh?
Microserfs by Douglas Coupland. He got a lot of attention for Generation X, but this one rawqz.
3. What book made you cry?
Fall On Your Knees by Anne Marie McDonald. Howl is a more accurate word
4. What was your favorite Required Reading book?
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. “As Gregor Samsa awoke from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed into a giant dung beetle.” How kewl izzat?
5. What was your least favorite Required Reading book?
Great Expecations by Charles Dickens. Often serialized novels are better left as serials, rather than long fookin’ boring books.
What book bored you to death?
All Tolkien, all the time perhaps entirely due to my resentment that as a brainy teen I was “supposed” to love Tolkien. And Star Trek. I loathed both, though I appreciate the films. As in Tolkien. Not Star Trek. Ew
What book do you think everyone should read before they die?The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Aside from being a great novel, it explains how blind religious fundamentalism and colonialism are vile.
