The 7 Deadly Sins of Reading

GREED
What is your most expensive book? What is your least expensive book?

  • My most expensive book is "Civil War Almanac" by John C. Fredriksen ($26) and my least expensive one is "The Lost World" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (free)

WRATH
What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

  • Robert Jordan. I love his books, but they're so long, often hard to get through certain parts, and dear Lord do I hate Nynaeve as a character!

GLUTTONY
What book have you deliciously devoured over and over with no shame whatsoever?

  • "The Swiss Family Robinson" by Johann David Wyss and "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickham Jr.

SLOTH
What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?

  • "Sabriel" by Garth Nix and "Winter's Heart" by Robert Jordan

PRIDE
What book do you most talk about in order to sound like a very intellectual reader?

  • "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck and "The Iliad" by Homer

LUST
What attributes do you find most attractive in characters of the opposite sex?

  • She has to be kind and caring as well as strong enough to fend for herself

ENVY
What books would you most like to receive as a gift?

  • "The Lord of the Rings" (50th Anniversary One Volume Edition) by J.R.R. Tolkien and "1356" by Bernard Cornwell
