None of these will be picked in any specific order when it comes to listing a top five!

[u][b]1. What is the book you recommend to about everyone?[/b][/u]

[i]Sword of Destiny[/i] by Andrzej Sapkowski. It's a book of short stories revolving around the witcher Geralt of Rivia. Beautiful stories, and perhaps my favorite fantasy book of all time at this current moment.


[u][b]2. What are your top 5 favorite books you've read?[/b][/u]

- [i]The Tower of Swallows[/i] by Andrzej Sapkowski - Fourth Installment in the Witcher Series
- [i]Deadhouse Gates[/i] by Steven Erikson - Second in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Have not finished this series yet. It's quite long!
- [i]All The Pretty Horses[/i] by Cormac McCarthy - My time with Cormac has been limited, but I have many more of his books waiting on my shelf to be read. With that said, I have read this and The Road and the two are enough to make him one of my favorite authors. I adored this book. 
- [i]The Sun Also Rises[/i] by Ernest Hemingway - *sigh*
- [i]Before They Are Hanged[/i] by Joe Abercrombie - I just really enjoyed the hell out of this whole book. Adventure. Grit. Banter. Old and dead civilization far larger and superior to new civilization. It was full of all the things I enjoy in fantasy.

I expect this list to transform like crazy once I actually have time to get back to that reading lyfe.

[u][b]3. Top 5 authors? [/b][/u]

- Ernest Hemingway
- Cormac McCarthy
- Andrzej Sapkowski
- Steven Erikson
- Mark Twain

[u][b]4. Worst book you've ever read?[/b][/u]

A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe

It's a classic. It's taught in high school. I [i]hated[/i] this book with every fiber of my being. I did not finish it. I willingly failed a test on this subject matter because I could not endure this text. The experience was the equivalent of having sandpaper roughly ground into my eyeballs. Perhaps, one day, when I'm feeling especially masochistic I will subject myself to reading this one more time.

[u][b]5. What book seemed really popular but you didn’t like?[/b][/u]

[i]Hunger Games[/i] - It's meh.

[u][b]6. What five books have you always wanted to read but haven’t got round to?[/b][/u]

- [i]Suttree[/i] - Cormac McCarthy
- [i]Blade Runner[/i] - Philip K. Dick
- [i]The Black Company[/i] - Glen Cook
- [i]War and Peace[/i] - Leo Tolstoy
- [i]KJV Bible[/i]
