INTERACTION

There's a "55 Reading Questions" thing running round blogs at the moment. My answers are here: http://andrew-hook.blogspot.co.uk/2012/ ... tions.html. Anyone else done this or wants to share?

I remember the first book I read and it was a favourite at the time also Blyton and the eagle was evil as it attacked the sheep and 'Shadow the Sheepdog'. Innocent days.

I remember Five On a Treasure Island scaring the crap out of me - it was that bit where they find statues in the woods and think they're ghosts. Or I thought they were ghosts. Or something.

Innocent days, indeed

Like your answer to number 20:

What makes you love a book?

When I read a book and think to myself that ‘I can’t believe anyone wrote this’, rather than ‘I can’t believe anyone published this’.

Answer number 49 is a truism too - Now all mine are shelved author alphabetical I think I'll only buy books from authors whose surname starts with Z

Yevgeny Zamyatin can expect an upsurge in interest

Your #42, I did wonder if "The White Goddess" was the Robert Graves you had in mind. A really, really tedious book, though I've enjoyed all the others of his that I've read.

I've just searched Graves' work but the titles are unfamiliar unless it was Collected Short Stories. I no longer have the book. I remember it being turgid - and possibly about cricket, which I loathe anyway. Not someone I'm likely to return to.

Possibly his short story "The Shout":-

I haven't read it, or any of his short stories for that matter, but I have seen the film.

Interesting so far that none of us get stuff out of the library...

And Pete: it could have been that story. The bit you referenced makes it sound great, but I just couldn't get into it.

I don't use the library much either.

Great set of answers Ray. Lovely to meet you and Victoria at Fantastycon, nice to put faces to names.

Hi Ross you were at F'con? I missed you then.

Yes, good to meet you too eventually, Ross - I still owe you a drink. Can't believe we were sat in the same reading and missed each other somehow.

I'll say it again - cool t-shirt.

Yes Roy, I was sat on the same row as you at the Ghost story panel but as it dragged on quite late I headed straight back to my hotel when it finished. I think I ended up missing quite a few people which I suppose can happen when there are a lot of different things running at the same time.
