You're going to sense a theme here:

1. What was the last book you read?

'The Hundred and Ninety-nine Steps' by Michel Faber.

2: What are you reading now?

Nothing, but 'Under the Skin' by Michel Faber is on my bedroom floor ready to start.

3. What one book do you wish you had written?

The Crimson Petal and the White. Guess who by? It's exquisite.

4. Who is your favourite author?

Well I'm just going to steal from Jenniebaby for this one:

"I used to be completely indiscriminate about reading - I would read absolutely anything and everything (don't get me wrong - I was able to distinguish between good bad - but I read them all anyway).
However, since I have a full time job, I have less time to read".

Also an English degree can fulfill your reading needs for a good few years.

Lately I am enjoying a re-ignited interest in...Michel Faber.

5. I recommend you read...?

'Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About' by Mil Millington. It's been around years, spun off the website, but I still find it so, so funny. When this guy sends an email out to folk on his mailing list it brightens up my day, he has me in stitches.

Also, the book mentioned in no.3 above is incredibly good, if you like neo-Victorianism at its most decadent.
