Friday Five: June 10, 2022 - A little late

1. What is the last book you read and what book(s), if any, are you currently reading?

"The Plot" by Jean Haniff Korelitz was last I finished and am currently reading "The Fifth Season" by NK Jemisin.

2. How about moving pictures? Are you a fan of any TV show or movie right now?

We are watching "Stranger Things" season 4 and "Hacks" season 2

3. What's your favorite genre, and why?

I have no real favorite; I like variety, but am not a fan of the unreliable narrator.

4. If we were all evacuating the planet, and you could only bring 3 unique works of entertainment for posterity, which would you pick? Let's just assume that we've coordinated it so there are no repeats.

A large tome of pictures of great classical art, a large hard drive with favorite movies and TV shows loaded, and a separate HD with books.

5. Do you make new works as well (fannish or original both count)? Or is that not your skillset/interest?

I wrote a couple of Spuffy fanfics ages ago.

10. We have no control over where we're from, but do you wish you could have been from somewhere else?

No, I am happy to have been born when I was in the US. I grew up with much more freedom as a woman in the US, than I have observed in Europe; sadly that is all changing and if I were having children now, I would seriously consider getting out of the US.

11. What are some things you've had to unlearn?

Mostly things involving exercise. How a stroke has changed in swimming or having to change something due to an injury.

12. New internet rules restrict everyone's free access to email, a search engine, and five sites of their choosing. To access any other site, you have to pay $1 per visit. What sites would you include in your five free sites, and what sites would you be willing to pay to access? (Sites you need to access for work-related purposes would be provided/paid for by your employer.)

I already pay for Washington Post, so I would keep that. Same for Cooks Illustrated and NY Times Cooking. Local news and one social media site. There are very few sites I would consider paying $1 per visit to.
