Favorite Literary Quote:
This fluctuates, depending on my mood, but right now these are high on the list:
“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word ‘intellectual,’ of course, became the swear word it deserved to be.” – Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451.
“These folk are hewers of trees and hunters of beasts; therefore, we are their unfriends, and if they will not depart we shall afflict them in all the ways that we can..” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

If you could interview any author, living or dead, who would it be and why?
George Orwell, for one reason: I’ve always wondered what he believed Julia found in Room 101.
A Lil’ Something Extra:
I think all (human) babies look like Sir Winston Churchill. All of them. And putting bows or brightly-colored caps on them and flinging them around while changing their filthy nappies seems like an odd way to treat the late Prime Minister.
