amindamazed asked: "Do you have a favorite book? If yes, what is it and why?" And sibilantly asked "Tell me about one book that you return to over and over like an old friend. What is it about that book?"I definitely don't have a favorite book, singular. There are too many books I love, in too many different ways, to ever declare one ruler of them all. And different books have had different emotional impacts at different points in my life, too, so today's favorite may only be tomorrow's fond nostalgia!
But I can definitely talk about some favorites, plural, that have been favorites for many years, and that I do "return to over and over like an old friend."
