1. Theatre: Do you read plays? If so tell us about one of your favorites
2. Travel: Sadly, we can’t travel these days but do you have a favorite travel writer or travel book to take you away on armchair adventures?
3. What book took you the longest time to read? Why was that?
4. Traditional: Fairy tales or nursery rhymes, what are some of your favorites and what are some you would not think suitable for kids today?
5. Tasty: Food, glorious food! What are some of your favorite books about food?
6. Terrible: Who is a truly terrible (nasty), but memorable character that stands out for you?
7. Truth: The truth is often stranger than fiction they say. Give us some examples of this from your extensive reading.
8. Tag: Make up an 8th prompt directed to those you wish to tag- please stick to the theme of T.
AGGGH! I did not answer Michael K Vaughan's question, 'What is the most terrifying book you've ever read?' (Oddly enough his answer, Pet Sematary, is the Stephen King novel that put me off King. Only ever read about half of that book.)
My answer would be... I don't really have the constitution to read horror novels so let me go with a short story - Kij Johnson's 'Ponies'. Which you can read here... if you dare:
tor.com/2010/11/17/ponies
[My dead-end prompt is in honour of prolific author Anthony Trollope: pick a favourite author who is both prolific and keeps/kept their work at a high quality.]
Apologies for not coming up with 8 folks to prompt. I'm quite late to this tag and to be frank, not up to it at the moment, sorry!
Books (& plays) mentioned:
Winter's Tale by Shakespeare
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom by August Wilson
Where the Indus is Young by Dervla Murphy
Coasting by Jonathan Raban
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust

1,001 Nights (Richard Burton translation or better Hussain Haddawy)
