Friday Five - Literature

[muscadine]

This whole thing is like asking which is your favorite child. :P

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
Fantasy novels and short stories, generally. Though nonfiction is a close second if not a tie. And I try to read a newspaper daily and keep a collection of good magazines on hand.

2. What is your favorite novel?
The Hobbit, probably.

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
-Shel Silverstein

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
The sacred texts of the major world religions.

5. What are you currently reading?
1984 by George Orwell

Shel Silverstein used to be my hero. I have all of his books.
