25:If you could be a character from a book for just one day who would you be and why?

Asha Greyjoy from ASOIAF.

42:Which was the best book you had to read in school?

Can I count college? Please let me count college! Probably The Brothers Karamatzov (I’m probably spelling that wrong), but I didn’t really understand it until my late 20s when I had read more Russian literature.

47:What do you do to get out of a reading slump?

Ummm… My life is a huge reading rut. I pretty much re-read two books over and over, The Name of the Rose and Geek Love. Before Geek Love my second obsessive book was The Master & Margarita (which I now want to re-read since its been a while). Occasionally though, someone will rouse my interest in a series like ASOIAF, Dune or The Dark Tower. And then I go back to my repetitive books.

I swear right now, I’m really REALLY trying to read Margaret Atwood beyond A Handmaid’s Tale… But I’m probably going to be distracted by The Master and Margarita before I get started on Oryx and Crake.

Dang! I think of all these books, the only ones I’ve read are some of the ASOIAF books. (I think I made it through book 4?) 

But! I’m suuper curious why you’d pick Asha to be if you could be any character! So, if you feel like expanding, I’d be super curious to hear.
