Have you every written any fan-fiction? If yes, why and for which book(s)? If no, would you like to and for which books(s)?
For that matter, do you ever READ fan-fiction??

About writing… no I never tried to do a fan-fiction but if I was to write one probably would be involving the encounter of characters from different books and different authors. Something funny like Hogwarts being sucked by a worm-hole in space and time to the time and place of George Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire. That seems to me much more engaging than picking characters that I like and put them in a romance with some fictional me or other character that is going to be molested in some weird-shit way. With that said…

Well there was a time when I stumbled across some Harry Potter themed fan-fictions but how should I put it… hmmm… they were kinda awkward xD I read one that was Severus Snape having a romance with Luna Lovegood, written by some girl that clearly as some daddy issues and thinks that sex in porno-with-tentacles films is the real deal. So… I believe that somewhere in the twisted mingled mind-fuck that is the Internet there are some people that can write interesting stories but for each one of them there’s twenty other that just write some reaaallly weird things product of their disturbed imagination or hormones behind the anonymity of the web.

If you had to pick only 5 books to read ever again, what would they be and why?

Such a cruel question... only five books...hmmm. For me is quite difficult to choose only five so maybe I'll cheat a little bit and the first one would be The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection (in one book xD) and then for the second maybe I'll glue altogether the complete Harry Potter series or the Juliet Marillier books. Fine, fine I'm dodging the point but actually the HP series are my most time read books, for third place perhaps a Jane Austen romance, fourth definitely a Bernard Cornwell work and the final one I'd close my eyes and pick one randomly from a pile of books I haven't read until now, just because a little surprise and unknown is always welcome.

But enough about interviewing other people. It’s time I interviewed YOU.

1. What’s your favorite time of day to read?

Night Time ^^

2. Do you read during breakfast? (Assuming you eat breakfast.)

No... but my breakfast is most of the time a glasse of milk and a run for the bus!

3. What’s your favorite breakfast food? (Noting that breakfast foods can be eaten any time of day.)

A warm glasse of chocolate milk and toast with peache jam nham nham... 

4. How many hours a day would you say you read?

Minimum 2 or 3 hours I guess

5. Do you read more or less now than you did, say, 10 years ago?

Much more! 

6. Do you consider yourself a speed reader?

Not really... I like challenges but time ones I dislike. Slow savouring is an important part of my reading habits.

Super Intelligence like Mr. Manhathan in Watchmen, maybe...

8. Do you carry a book with you everywhere you go?

Always :)

Hmmm... probably twelve.

11. What’s the oldest book you have in your collection? (Oldest physical copy? Longest in the collection? Oldest copyright?)

I have one copy of a school manual by Luiz D'Afonseca Peres from 1855, I think it's the oldest I have but there are one or two in my collection that are from the time when dates weren't printed in the books yet lol

12. Do you read in bed?

A lot!

13. Do you write in your books?

Sometimes... specially if I find some frase I particulary like.

14. If you had one piece of advice to a new reader, what would it be?

Take yor time to know what is the literature that touches your soul, and don't give up on the first tries.
