mmegaera1. What book have you re-read the most times?
Lots and lots and lots... I'm a compulsive re-reader, and I like to go back and visit old friends (the characters). I don't think I could pick out just one.
2. What's the worst thing a patron has ever done on your watch?
Personally? Called me a racist. For doing a slight doubletake when she signed "Buddha" on the internet sign-up list (back when we had such things).
3. Nicest thing?
Again personally? Brought me a signed copy of his book (Winnie the Pooh on Success by Roger and Stephen Allen) with my name in the acknowledgements for "finding answers to the difficult questions."
4. Does "fandom" make sense to you / feel like a part of your life or do you feel otherwise?
I had never run across SF fandom until I joined the Bujold list in 2000. The concept took some getting used to, although I had been (and still am) a part of what I guess you'd call Shakespeare/Branagh fandom for a number of years before that. I find it fascinating to observe from the sidelines...
5. Nuke it, baby--! See michaelmichael and kalquessa's questions (above): what's on your sh*t/s) list?
The whole expletive deleted publishing submission process. Hands down. There has got to be a better way. Preferably one that starts and ends with a level playing field, so that the reason people get their novels published is because the books are good, not because of who they happen to know. [deep breath]
