1. What did you last read? Bad Heir Day - Wendy Holden
2. What are you reading now? The Dean's Watch - Elizabeth Goudge
3. What do you plan to read next? One of the many, many books I've borrowed and really should return. Probably Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco.
4. What would you like to read, but don't have? The unabridged diaries of Anthony Wood.
5. What would you recommend for others to read? The Stonor Eagles - William Horwood (because it's very good, and I reckon many people will have missed it because it's a children's book). The Daughter of Time - Josephine Tey (because I re-read it over Christmas and remembered how good it is, and it makes a very important point about people's conception of history).
6. What's your favourite book from childhood? Three Legions - Rosemary Sutcliffe(OK, that's technically a trilogy (Eagle of the Ninth/The Silver Branch/The Lantern Bearers), but it's all in one volume, so I'm allowed to count it as a book).
7. What book last made you laugh? I laughed slightly reading Night Watch - Terry Pratchett over Christmas.
8. What book last made you weep? I'm not sure. I recently re-read The Heaven Tree - Edith Pargeter, and that certainly made me cry when I originally read it. I'm not sure whether it did this time or not.
9. What book last made you angry? Bad Heir Day - Wendy Holden. People shouldn't be encouraged to foist such 2D, caricatured, flimsy cack on the unsuspecting public.
