I hope you guys won't get tired of me and my short memes. :) If you do, just don't read this post.

1. Favorite classic author and favorite modern author.

Tough question actually. I guess I'll go with Jane Austen for the first part of this question, even though I love to read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books as well some of Dickens' too. I haven't read Jane Eyre yet either so I can't say for sure how much I'll like it but I'm hoping I'll love it. Modern author: even more difficult. If I only get to pick one I'll go with - Janet Evanovich's books, if only because they can almost always make me laugh, no matter how depressed I am. Needless to say, I have many other favorites, but I really can't choose between them.

2. Night in with a good book or Night out with friends?

Night in with a good book, naturally. :)

3. Favorite Era/Time period to read about.

I'm pretty much open to (almost) anything as far as time period is concerned. Prehistory isn't my favorite though. It's a bit too much speculation for my taste, as well as too gruesome. "Everyone eats everyone else". Ugh.

1. Which book character would you most like to switch places with?

I'm not sure of which character, but I would love to go and live in Dinotopia, permanently. As long as I could bring my family, all our stuff, including books and some mammals and birds.

2. Book/movie you know the most quotes from?

Gilda.

3. What always cheers you up when you think about it?

My children and my writing.

I found this on Litsy, and I thought I'd do it here.

1. Do you collect anything?

Books. :) My old toys. (I'm not sure if that counts?)

2. Do you prefer dust jacket, naked book or a book sleeve?

I don't really have a preference. It depends.

3. Where do you most often get the books you read?

Amazon or the Swedish online book store Bokus. Freebies from Amazon, Wattpad, Smashwords and Gutenberg.

I found this meme on a Swedish book blog and I thought I'd do it too.

The meme is about appreciating classics, books that are at least 100 years old.

Irritatingly, my homepages are still down. I had expected them to be up and working again by now, but no such luck. Grr. At least I have Dreamwidth and Booklikes.

First of all I'll mention my favorite Jane Austens:

Northanger Abbey
Persuasion
Sense and Sensibility
Pride and Prejudice
Lady Susan
(I'd say Sanditon too, but I'm afraid I don't even remember what I thought about it). All were published between 1794 and 1818.

Most of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books about Sherlock Holmes are at least 100 years old too. I'll pick A Study in Scarlet (1887) and The Sign of the Four (1890), even though I like all his books about Sherlock Holmes.

I'd mention some by Charles Dickens as well, but it's been ages since I last read any of them so I'll save them for later.

My favorite Jules Verne book, Voyage au centre de la Terre/Journey to the Center of the Earth, is from 1864. I'm not sure why Iike this one so much, but I do.

Edith Nesbit's children's books are other favorites of mine. I can mention The House of Arden, The Railway Children and The Enchanted Castle. They were published 1906 -1908.

Speaking of children's books, I have to mention Alice in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871).

I was going to mention Winnie the Pooh and The Red House Mystery by A A Milne, but it turns out they were all published in the 1920's.

I also thought a few of Agatha Christie's mysteries were published a hundred years ago or more, but it turns out I was wrong. They too were published from the 1920's and on.

However it seems Trent's Last Case by B C Bentley was published in 1913 so that one counts. One interesting detail about that book is that a Swedish mystery writer, Stieg Trenter took is name from Trent. His wife and one of his daughters are also mystery writers (his daughter writes for children).
