[Note: In this context, "literature" means text and/or film -- poems, plays, fiction works of any length, short films, long films -- whatever you want. I'm less interested in seeing people follow the rules to the letter than in finding out what the questions mean to you. Also, standard disclaimer: Answer only the ones you want to, and if a question is worded so it doesn't make sense to you or you just don't like it, feel free to rewrite it.]

1. Give a quote from literature that you return to over and over.

2. Talk about a character in literature that feels to you, in some way, like an example of how to live.

3. Is there someone out there who has written more than one book that really touched your soul? Who is it, and what were the books?

4. What is your trashy reading? (That is, something you read that you have a hard time thinking of as "literature", but it's a fun, easy read for you -- something you pick up when you don't wanna think too hard.)

5. Is there a character in literature that feels a bit like you, at the core? Who is it, and what makes this character your mirror in some way?

6. What's the last book you can remember reading and thinking "Wow, that was a really *good* book"?

7. Do number 6 with a film.

8. Do you have a desert-island novel/film? (Or a group of them?) (Translation: If you only had one (or three, or five) books/films you could take with you onto a desert island, what would they be?) No fair picking non-fiction reference books -- assume you'll have plenty of access to hut-building manuals and a field guide to edible bugs.

9. Is there a genre you gravitate toward? One you tend to avoid? What are they?
