1) Shakespeare or the Bible.
Hmm, this is a weird one considering a lot of Shakespeare's work is almost directly comparable to the bible, an account of history for which there's often little evidence or simply ignored evidence (Richard III for example? not deformed or that nasty...)
I'd probably say Shakespeare simply because I read to be entertained, other religious tales are more interesting for that side of things.
2) Most romantic moment in fiction.
Mort fighting Death over loving his daughter... Oh c'mon, really, this is me!
3) Favourite word?
Depends on the situation! Pish Tosh or piffle are nice and fun to say, as is weasel.
4) Most overrated writer
Thomas Hardy or *deep breath* JK Rowling
5) Most underrated writer
Tom Holt, doesn't seem to have the fame of Pratchett or Rankin but writes great books, well, I think so.
6) Best meal in literature
Dinner...
7) Favourite novel in translation
Umm, does a book of the film count?!
8) Favourite children's book
Easily the Narnia books.
9) Books by your bedside
Right now The Third Girl by Agatha Christie, the rest of my mahoosive book collection os the other side of the room threatening to fall on me.
10) Sexiest book
I honestly don't know... I don't have that many books with sex in.
