My favorite book is Herman Hesse's Magister Ludi (the Glass Bead Game), my favorite authors are tied at Mark Twain and Philip K. Dick, and the book that I've read the largest number of times is Clockwork Orange, the UK edition with the added chapter of Alex being a senior politician. I also have an antique copy of Grimm's Fairy Tails that is not the one that got widely published, an earlier version from that 1800's that would be banned today, and that is very interesting, I'd call it psycho-sexual horror. My mother is 88, was a child prodigy, and has quite the antique library. These days I read a lot of memoirs and biographies, not nearly as enjoyable.
