Help!
Okay, you smart and lovely people, I need assistance.
I'm a little bored with my books lately. I'm having a hard time getting into anything I have out from the library, I've read a couple of bad/unexciting things recently, I have nothing coming in from my holds any time soon. In short, I'm in a reading rut.
So, tell me: What is your favourite book? Who is your favourite author? What book do you think everyone around you should read? What is the book that changed your life? What is comfort reading for you? What book can always make you laugh? What have you read recently that got you excited? What book, when you find someone else who loves it, makes you need to be that person's best friend forever? What author do you wish was your best friend?
Give me something, anything, that I need to read. Fiction, non-fiction, genre, new, old, I don't care. Well, I might care a little if it's a western, but I'm willing to have my mind changed. I am your willing reader.

A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving.
Who is your favourite author?
Tanya Huff. (As you know.) :)
What book do you think everyone around you should read?
I used to say 'Owen Meany', but so many people have had negative reactions that now I say Last Chance Saloon, by Marian Keyes.
What is the book that changed your life?
Reason for Hope, by Jane Goodall.
What is comfort reading for you?
The first two 'Blood' books, by Tanya Huff. The Fire's Stone, also by Tanya Huff. Maeve Binchy. Marian Keyes. The 'Outlander' series by Diana Gabaldon.
What book can always make you laugh?
Don't Care High and Son of Interflux, and the 'Bruno and Boots' books by Gordon Korman. And Bridget Jones's Diary, by Helen Fielding.
What have you read recently that got you excited?
The Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes books by Laurie R. King.
What book, when you find someone else who loves it, makes you need to be that person's best friend forever?
Well, my best friend didn't like 'Owen Meany', but I love her anyway. :)
Anyone who likes Tanya Huff can't be all bad, either.
What author do you wish was your best friend?
Tanya Huff, probably, 'cause then I could get her to let me proof her stuff - her publishing houses are pretty bad on the proofing/editing department, IMHO.

Changed my life? Robert Fulghum.
