    The Evil "Wish" Game

    Granted. But you earn your living with a snowplow business. I wish that I could buy anything I wanted, and when I opened my wallet I always had the correct change to pay for it.

    What is your Major?

    I start University at the end of February, and I am planning on doing a major in Psychology (a BSc rather than a BA) and a minor in Philosophy. After that, I plan to do further studies and become a Clinical Psychologist.

    Where are you from? and What do you do?

    I live in Rangiora, New Zealand (Christchurch is the nearest major city - about 20 mins away). I'm a student - I have just graduated high school and I start University in February. I'm planning on getting a BSc in Psychology and then doing post-grad studies in Clinical Psychology.

    Do you read books in a series consecutively or take breaks?

    I used to read series straight through so that I wouldn't forget anything that had occured in the previous books when I started on the next one, but after burning myself out by reading Jean M Auel's Earth's Children series straight through, I've avoiding doing so ever since. I really like the...

    What's the best opening line of a book (fiction or non)?

    You forgot the "In the beginning" part ;) "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

    Children's book recomendation

    The the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman - it starts with The Goldan Compass (aka Northern Lights depending on where you purchase it from). They are really fantastic books that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. A synopsis of the first book: And a small excerpt from...

    How many books do you buy in a month?

    Up until the middle of last year I was buying about 5 a month, but I'm on a book-buying ban at the moment until I have finished all the books I have on my shelf. I've only got about 10 to go :D

    Would You Rather..

    Inventor, as then I could be helping people in a way. Would you rather lose both your arms or both your legs?

    Don't go to Prague!

    I'll be going there at the end of this year to visit my pen pal - to a town called Susice, not Prague. Hopefully I'll have a better experience with a native guide to help me.

    Do you like to read with background noise, or need complete silence?

    :D Yeah I could see how that could get on one's nerves.

    How possessive are you about your books?

    I used to be super-protective of my books, but now I don't care so much - although I never, ever dog-tag my books. I'm not going to make myself uncomfortable whle reading by only opening the book a crack so as not to spoil the spine (something which I used to do). I like my books looking used.

    Do you like to read with background noise, or need complete silence?

    I prefer to read in complete silence, but usually I'm forced to read with the radio or TV going in the background. What really puts me off reading isi people talking in the background - when I'm reading during a loud conversation I find myself having to re-read passages continuously to register...

    The Witches by Roald Dahl. This was easily my favourite book during my childhood. Look directly behind you. What do you see?

    How Many Books Do You Read in a Year (approx.)?

    I managed to read 62 in 2006, which was alright considering that it was my last year of high school. I'm aiming for 100 this year - I won't let something trivial like Uni get in the way of reading :D

    Are you a cynic?

    I'm cynical about some things, but I wouldn't call myself a pessimist. I just don't trust people and their intentions :D I'm 18, by the way.
