Reader Interview with Jimilyn
My friend, teacher Jimilyn, sat down to share her thoughts on reading, writing, and literature in general on my blog "All the Other Books":
READER INTERVIEW with JIMILYN
I want to do things a little differently on All The Other Books, so today I present the first in a series of Reader Interviews.
Today I welcome my friend Jimilyn. Thanks for joining me. How are you?
I’m doing well, thank you. And you?
Wonderful, thanks! A few easy questions first. How many novels do you read per year?
Well, that’s not such an easy question. I also read a good bit of non-fiction. Some years I read almost entirely non-fiction. Some years I read six or fewer books, and other years a lot more. This past year I read 36, not counting the children’s books I read to classes at school.
Do you have a favorite author?
One? No, I could never decide irrevocably between J.R.R. Tolkien and Jane Austen. They write quite different types of works, all of which draw me into the story to a point that I feel I know the characters. I reread works by them, watch film adaptations (and watch them again and again), have participated in online communities for both authors, and read works about these two authors. Charles Dickens is right up there, as well. But if I were very hard pressed to choose only one, I might have to go with Tolkien.
How often do you take a chance on an unknown author?
If the book sounds interesting, I’m quite willing to take a chance. I read unknown authors quite often. The past two years, that has been at least once a month if not more. By doing so, I’ve found authors that I will definitely follow so...
