Who is your favourite author? If I was forced to pick only one, it would be Jorge Luis Borges
What is your favourite book? My favorite book is ‘Mad Toy’ (El Juguete Rabioso) by Roberto Arlt, a series of stories about a dashing, if impoverished and rather hapless, youth in 1920’s Buenos Aires
What was the first e-book you read? My first e-book was the complete - the very complete - short stories by Guy de Maupassant, which I downloaded for free, in epub format, from Project Gutenberg. You simply cannot buy all of these stories in any form, as far as I know (at least not in English).
What is your favourite book cover? The original edition of ‘Taran Wanderer’ by Lloyd Alexander.
If you could be a character from any book, who would you be and why? It would have to be Odysseus, who was stronger, wiser and had more exciting adventures than anybody else.
