Eats, Shoots and Leaves
8. What book last made you weep?
Books don't make me weep. Unless someone drops a Peter F Hamilton novel on my toe, but I don't recall that ever happening.
9. What book last made you angry?
A Babylon 5 novel whose author had read that the surface temperature of Mars was around 240K and had misread that as Centigrade, and so had Mars as a very hot place to be. Years ago -- books don't make me angry very often.
