Omg..that is one tough question, especially made here on goodreads! Anyways I would have to say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Book Thief, Pride and Prejudice and last Great Expectations. Books that someway or another are part of my life and who I am. Favorite Location? (Could also be a place you've never been but seen it on picture ect)

Yes, I write short stories and have written 1 novel, but I don't show them to anyone, too afraid.
what is one book you never would've guessed that you'd like?
what is one book you never would've guessed that you'd like?
Tarzan. I loved those books growing up. He's practically superman, except in a jungle, and there's all sorts of cool places to discover. Which book protagonist/character did you really really like, but would probably not want to know in real life?
Mark Renton in Trainspotting because I wouldn't want to be sucked into the world of heroin addiction.What is a book (or film) that had some kind of impact on your life?

I feel, based on your drink choices, we would be good friends :D
Since there is no question above, how about person below, have you lived in the same city your whole life or have you moved before?
Quite often, actually. But I never really have sat down and put everything together /:Who is your celebrity crush?
Yes, I do. Not enough to call myself a "gamer" but when I really like a game, I don't stop.What fictional place would you want to live in?
The ones I escape to via daydreams when I am bored out of my mind at work. (this week was a cross between "The Gunslinger" universe and a post-apocalyptic Hawaii)If you could choose between inventing something trivial that has no great impact on society but makes a lot of money and earns you fame, or being the catapult of a monumental movement that changes humanity forever though no one ever knows it was you...which would you choose?
I'd choose the second. Knowing that I was the cause for something much greater than me would be payment enough.If you were to be stuck in a book for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club! He'd be tons of fun:) He's such a goofy character and I'd never be bored with him around.

Either playing a game with my hubby/kiddos/family or working on one of the stories I'm writing.What is your favorite dish to cook (or have cooked for you for those who don't cook)?

What's your favorite childhood story?
car horns
what book would you save from a burning fire?
what book would you save from a burning fire?
For me it would have to be all of them (or as many as possible). I love reading and don't believe in book burning. If you don't like a book/subject/genre/etc. then avoid it. Don't read it, look at it, touch it, let alone burn it. But, that's just my humble opinion. What movie/book is your guilty pleasure? (not necessarily something your ashamed of but something you want to keep for just you)
I don't believe book burning either but some do,don't know why.

A Weeping Willow, because I picture them in the Old South next to a stream and they provide shade and comfort during the long summers...and after many trips to the Middle East I can't stand to be hot!If you had to be any Star Wars character, which one would you be?
That's a hard one......I'm not really into Star Wars, so I don't know much about it. I guess I can't really pick one lol.What is one of your favorite books, and why do you like it so much?
No, I don't. I've always wanted to learn how to play the guitar though.What's one of your favorite movies?
Dolls. A Japanese romance directed by Takeshi Kitano. It is AMAZING.
What place do you want to travel to most?
What place do you want to travel to most?
I'm sure this isn't my all time favorite, but Katniss Everdeen popped into my mind. A reluctant hero, but one nonetheless. I define hero as selfless acts and I think she represented that quite well throughout the series (flaws and all)If you had to eat one food the rest of your life, what would it be?

The moon space program--wished it had developed into the discovery of a new world and race where travel between becomes a vacation spot for all
