lizzybuffy20085. Is there someone you absolutely cannot stand but have to tolerate?
No, there are people I don't particularly care for or that annoy me, but I am at an age that I see no reason to waste my time with people I can't stand, no matter the connection.
RM:
11: Classic or modern? Why?
I like both.
12: Political memoirs or comedic memoirs?
I don't tend to read memoirs, but if I did, right now I would say comic. The daily news cycle makes me angry and depressed enough without reading books about politics.
13: Name a book with a really bad movie/tv adaption.
It would harder to name one that had a good one. In movies, I hated what they did to Michael Crighton's "Rising Sun," as well as Rick Riordan's "The Lightening Thief." For TV, I could not get further than episode one of "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare.
14: Name a book where the movie/tv adaption actually was better than the original.
Brokeback Mountain, although the short story was great. Silence of the Lambs maybe too.
15: What book changed your life?
I don't think I have a book that changed my life.
