This is a seriously impossible question to answer... my answer changes on a daily basis... After all, I am a nerdish bookworm and an English teacher. I'll just go with Kerouac for argument's sake cuz he suits my mood and life at the moment.
Favorite book
Again, nearly impossible to answer, and whatever title i tell you one day will likely be different the next, but for now I'll just go with On The Road by Kerouac.
Favorite poem OR poet
sigh - i know i'm not going to agree with my own answers in the morning, so I'll just say the latest addition to my favorites is The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Favorite genre
Fiction or poetry
Favorite non-fiction category
Memoir
Favorite book as a child OR first book you remember from childhood
this one's easy - Nancy Drew
What book are you reading now?
I never read just one at a time. The two at the top of the pile right next to my bed are No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July and The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lampiri
Favorite fictional character
Edna Pontellier from The Awakening cuz she let go of everything that was expected of her to go after what she really wanted... though in the end she commits suicide. not sure how i feel about that part.
Worst book you ever read
Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen (ick... and i had to teach it too)
A book that changed your life
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
A movie that's BETTER than the book
High Fidelity... the book was pretty damned good, but the movie stars John Cusack, so it wins a big pile of cool points.
The most disappointing movie adaptation from a book (you know - you love the book and HATE the movie)
Beloved the book was incredible. the movie was a snooze.
