3. One book you would want on a desert island?
I\u2019ll cheat and say Stephen King\u2019s THE DARK TOWER 1 thru 7. I\u2019ve never finished it, and always wanted to\u2026<\/p>\n

4. One book that made you laugh?
GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett<\/p>\n

5. One book that made you cry?
I can\u2019t recall any\u2026.I once heard Mike Moorcock say that silverfish ate one of his vintage hardcovers autographed by H.G. Wells, and THAT made me want to cry\u2026<\/p>\n

6. One book you wish had been written?
Any undiscovered writings by Jorge Luis Borges\u2026.especially anything even remotely in the spirit of DREAMTIGERS\u2026<\/p>\n

7. One book you wish had never been written\u2026
Anything by Ann C. <\/p>\n

I won\u2019t even give her the benefit of typing her last name, but it rhymes with \u201cdolter.\u201d Actually, I don\u2019t mind that her books exist, but if she continues to write outrageous works of fiction, then why do bookstores keep misshelving her books in nonfiction? Just one of those mysteries, I guess\u2026<\/p>\n

8. One book you are currently reading?
Re-skimming Rudy Rucker\u2019s THE HOLLOW EARTH before I do the final cover for MonkeyBrain\u2019s upcoming release\u2026.waiting for the new Shari Tepper manuscript to be overnighted so I can start reading and researching before beginning that cover illustration\u2026.<\/p>\n

9. One book you have been meaning to read? See #3.<\/p>\n
