Stolen from gridlore:

1. What book is in your bathroom?

"The Bride Wore Black Leather (And He Looked Fabulous): An Ettiquite Guide For the Rest of us" by Drew Campbell

2. What book is in your purse/backpack?

I don't have a purse or a backpack, so none, currently.


3. What book is on your bedside table?

"The Nodwick Chronicles" by Aaron Williams
"The Adventures of Moominpapa" by Tove Jansson

4. What was the last book you lent someone?

I just gave away a copy of "Borders of Infinity" by Lois McMaster Bujold.

5. What was the last book you lent out that someone brought back to you?

Just got back a box of about 20 or so books I had loaned out to someone who was put on three months of bedrest last year, including the entire Vorkosigan series, the Diana Galbadon historical romances, a Get Fuzzy collection, and some other assorted stuff.

6. What book do you have loaner copies of, solely for the purpose of foisting it on unsuspecting friends and relatives?

I buy used copies of Mark Helprin's "Winter's Tale" and give them away to people.

I love it, I just no longer foist it on people because they look at me funny and don't get around to reading it. It may come from my efforts to explain the general theme. Good luck if you ever attempt it.

I gave it away as a birthday present once, not sure if it was ever read, though.

I have had great success giving it to people from New York City or the Hudson River Valley. Almost none giving it to anyone else.
