February 23, Saturday afternoon -- Reading Mark J. Ferrari

Strolling down Valencia, on her way to meet a friend

Reading The Book of Joby, by Mark J. Ferrari. She's been checking out books at the library randomly-- with mixed results. She doesn't like this one much. Random, she said, is not the best way to go.

Something good she read recently--Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Some favorite authors--Barabara Kingsolver, John Irving. There are others, too, but she explained that her mind doesn't work like that, to recall a bunch of names all at once.

If you were to write your own book?
You're tough.
Sorry.

No one ever likes that question. I get pained expressions, curse words, nice variations of curse words, looks of exasperation--oh jeez! Writers, quite simply, are appreciated.

Her book would be Science Fiction. She reads a lot of it, so it'd be easier for her than other genres.
