13. “Your favourite writer.” Ezra Pound, who was a great poet, translator, and critic. Probably the most-represented writer in my library.

14. “Book turned into a movie and completely desecrated.” I don’t watch bad movies so I’m sure there are far worse, but Jackson’s version of The Hobbit wasn’t good. Watch the Rankin/Bass version instead:https://itsollkorrect.com/blog/2017/04/that-other-better-hobbit-movie/ …

15. “Favourite male character.” No one stands out, but since he’s on my mind let’s say Dr. Frankenstein, who is an interesting character.

For the full effect, say the title in the same tone of voice as the guy on the Resident Evil 4 title screen.

21. "First novel you remember reading." If we include novellas, then the children's book Bunnicula, but the first full novel I read was Jurassic Park. I read both while in elementary school.pic.twitter.com/LkpMsZSWtr

my first full novel was Watership Down. I read it in Third Grade (though I didn't really understand it completely at the time.)

Replying to @gtaogle
Watership Down is one of the many books I've been wanting to read for a long time, since I saw the film adaptation a few years ago.

it's very good and at the moment very topical.
