1. Can you remember the first book you read?
I was a child of the 60s (well, just about) so it would have been a Janet and John book. My mum taught me to read when I was about 3 or so. The first thing I remember reading was a Flintstones comic. I was about 4 then.
2. What was the last book (electronic or otherwise) you read?
Out of the Past by Patricia Wentworth. One of the Miss Silver series.
3. Do you read for enjoyment, work or both?
Enjoyment.
4. What is your favorite genre of book to read?
Detective fiction, especially the 'golden age' books: DL Sayers, Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, Patricia Wentworth.
5. If you could visit your younger self, what book would you tell yourself to steer clear of?
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. Ginger's death left me devastated. I'd also tell her to not watch Watership Down.
