Read All Over celebrates the bookworm in all of us, showcasing readers in Vancouver and the books they love most. |
What book makes you feel like a kid again?
The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson and Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.
The one book you always recommend is...
Sirens of Titan and Galapagos. I love love love Kurt Vonnegut and just want to be lost in his books forever. I should also admit that I recommend the Time Traveler's Wife to most women I know who enjoy a good cry..
What books have changed your life?
The Giver by Lois Lowry in middle school. Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins in University. Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels at this exact moment in time.
How do you like your books served up best - audio books, graphic novels, used paperbacks, library loaner, e-reader…
Any way as long as it's been recommended by a friend.
English Professor or Librarian, who's sexier?
I happen to know a burlesque troop made up of all librarians. I think that's as sexy as it gets.
Your life story is published tomorrow. What's the title?
From Buttons to Billionaire! (well hopefully one day that will be true once I solve the world's problems with Pins+Needs while simultaneously making millions) or...It's never too late to become a woman (I happened to have an adult Bat Mitzvah - proof attached).
Where is your favorite place to crack open a good book in Vancouver?
My geriatric bathtub, see proof below.
