Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The stories that impacted me the most were the ones written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, especially his John Carter of Mars series.. When I was young, my mom used to read the stories to my dad and I would listen. When I became older, I reread them myself-- more than once.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
It's difficult to limit myself to five favorite books so I'll list the series of books I enjoyed: John Carter Series and Tarzan series, by Edgar Rice Burroughs; the Dragon Rider's of Pern Series, by Anne McCaffrey; The Clan of the Cave Bear Series, by Jean Auel. Fantasy and science fiction are my favorite books to read.
