Nicked from rippled_water, who apparently nicked it from Benjaminbrum, who in turn nicked it from the Observer. Thievery!

1) Shakespeare or the Bible.
When did Shakespeare become a book like the Biblee? Shakespeare, every time. The other one is just too darn hard.

2) Most romantic moment in fiction.
Goodness, umm...I can think of many, but I have to say you can't beat a Darcy/Bennett moment. It's the tension.

3) Favourite word
I have many. Sinister, paraphernalia, and labradoodle, to name a few.

4) Most overrated writer
It's unlikely I will ever read the most overrated writer, so this is personal taste. Fucking Dan Brown. And as an ex bookshop worker, employed at the height of his chaos, I am allowed to say that. I also have problems with Cecilia Ahern and Jodi Picoult. OH, and Kate MossE, of Labyrinth fame. Yeah, it was quite good, but there was no need to go gaga for it. Richard and Judy, take note.

5) Most underrated writer
I find it difficult to think of a writer that could be described as underrated, as it would likely mean they're not well heard of. The Ninth Life of Louis Drax by Liz Jensen is good. Someone handed me a copy of Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland on a train once, and I read it somewhere between Darlington and Motherwell. That had me riveted. The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason is also good, if you like your ancient codes. This one actually makes sense though. Dan Brown, take note.

6) Best meal in literature
It might have to be something cooked by Mrs Weasley. I'm also quite fond of the ruined wedding banquet in Great Expectations. I think this question is daft.

7) Favourite novel in translation
I'm not sure I've read many. Does Ovid's Metamorphoses count? It's quite good, that! I suppose I've re-read Anne Frank's diary until the pages fell out of my copy too, but that isn't a novel as such, and makes me too sad to call it a favourite.

8) Favourite children's book
The Secret Garden, or the Chronicles of Narnia. And Potter. Goes without saying. 

9) Books by your bedside
The Lost World and Other Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Brilliant!

10) Sexiest book
Tipping the Velvet, Sarah Waters. You don't have to be a lezzer to understand why. It's so much more than that. It IS velvety, that's the only way I can describe it. I think I'll re-read that after I've finished with Professor Challenger.
