Book Meme

A book meme stolen from book_memes!

What’s the first book you remember really loving?

Jules Verne's "Two Years Holiday" - this was a real experience for me, I still remember how I fell in love with Briant and how I rooted for his blossoming friendship with Doniphan. Amazing!

Name three authors who feature strongly in your reading history...

Alexander Dumas (I read everything I could get my hands on!), Robert Van Gulik (ditto!) and David Morrell (until he started to take himself way too seriously and his books stopped being entertaining, that is :-/).

What’s the very next book you’re going to pick off your TBR pile?

Larry Millett's pastiche "Sherlock Holmes and the Ice Palace Murders"

What’s the very next book you’re thinking of buying/borrowing?

Borrowing: the continuation of Simon R. Green's "Secret Histories"

Buying: Josh Lanyon's latest "Holmes and Moriarity" book, "The Boy with the Painful Tattoo"

What’s the last book you read? What did you think?

The "No. 6" manga, vol. 3. And WOW, just WOW! I wish there were more mangas like that!
