Describe your ideal reading experience.
At the magazine rack of the grocery store we shopped at in Midland, Texas, in 1984, when I was 12, with knees I could still kneel on, when I didn’t know The National Enquirer and Weekly World News weren’t fact-checked, and my little brother was reading right there beside me.
What book would people be surprised to find on your shelves?
Luigi Meneghello’s “The Outlaws.” Such a funny, sad, bitter, hopeful novel.
Have you ever gotten in trouble for reading a book?
Don’t think so. But I have gotten in trouble for not reading some.
What’s the last great book you read?
Rebecca Roanhorse’s “Mirrored Heavens.” Wraps that trilogy up as perfectly as I’ve seen.
What books are you embarrassed not to have read yet?
Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Books of Earthsea.” Roberto Bolaño’s “The Savage Detectives.” “The Moonstone,” by Wilkie Collins.
