1. Go to your bookshelves (or wherever you keep books), close your eyes and randomly grab a book. Open to page 30 and quote the first full sentence on the page.
You couldn't get more random. The room is in darkness and I reached around for a book I couldn't even see. Here's what I got.
"These were good boys, well-trained with their fists, but not experienced at dealing with real incidents, not just practice-bouts."
The City by Jane Gaskell, Book Four of the Atlan Saga.
2. You can keep only 3 books for the rest of your life. Which would they be?
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
The Complete Works of Charles Dickens
The Complete Sherlock Holmes
(sorry for cheating but they are single volumes bound as one book!)
3. What is your ethnic background?
I've never researched it, but I know I was born in Ireland and my ancestors were kings of Wicklow, so bow down peasants!
4. Describe one of the most embarrassing moments in your life.
Ah. I was waiting at the bus stop when I saw a colleague's car. She stopped, so I thought great! A lift! Just as I got close she pulled off. Never saw me. I ended up running along the road in traffic after her car for about two minutes, mostly because I was too embarrassed to go back to the bus stop where everyone would laugh at me. Which I eventually had to do anyway.
5. What is your ultimate comfort food?
Chocolate, chocolate and, oh what's that other thing? Oh yeah. Chocolate.
6. What is the last film you watched in the theater?
It's been years. Maybe The Phantom Menace? Not sure.
