whatever fantasy/sf book that got me hooked on the genre.

tons of them - Eddings, Krentz, Crusie, McCaffrey, Quick, Parker, Westlake...

3. One book you would want on a desert island?

Not "the" only one, but The Lord of the Rings

4. One book that made you laugh?

Bank Shot by Donald E. Westlake - has one of the greatest 2-3 sentence chapters ever.

5. One book that made you cry?

More than one - but Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - I can cry just thinking about it.

6. One book you wish had been written?

One that I had written that would make me lots of money, so that I'd never have to worry about money again. :>

7. One book you wish had never been written?

I'm with taibhrigh on this - if I don't like it, I stop. That said - Absalom, Absalom by Faulkner. Great plot summary, but godawful writing, imo.

8. One book you are currently reading?

Two actually - Hear No Evil by James Grippando and 1634: The Ram Rebellion by Eric Flint et al.

9. One book you have been meaning to read?

Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin, which I have on hold
