Favourite book: The queen and I (ruined by David Williams turning it into a made for tv film).
Favourite poem: The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe (was lucky to once have heard James Earl Jones read it out loud live when I saw him at a comicon- sent shivers down my spine).
The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien (yes, I know that's technically three books, but you can't read just part of the story)
Jabberwocky - Lewis Carroll
I can't do a handstand, but I can probably still do a headstand
Favourite book: 'Gorky Park' by Martin Cruz Smith. For when it was written (1978), it was a stunning debut for an American writer.
Favourite poem "Ae Fond Kiss" by Robert Burns. Heart-breakingly beautiful.
