2005-04-08 - 2:06 p.m. It's the Friday Five! Play along at home! 1. What is the one book that you reread over and over again? I've already mentioned my near-yearly reading of The Subterraneans, but I've been reading and re-reading Patricia Bosworth's bio of Diane Arbus since I was a teenager. 2. What is your favourite genre? Honestly and truly, I read more metaphysical/new age/yoga type books than anything else, although I also like to stay current with good fiction and I get into Agatha Christie jags, generally when I'm depressed. 3. Do you usually buy your books or visit the library? I consider the local library my "watering hole." When I walk in, the whole place goes, "Norm!" 4. Who is your favourite author? Toss-up between Lorrie Moore, Julian Barnes, and Michael Chabon. And, like bands, there are dozens more that I am devoted to...couldn't even begin to rank them. 5. What book have you read that you absolutely hated? I'm not a hatah. I don't spend time on books I don't like.
