Book that I'm an evangelist for: Staggerford by Jon Hassler. I refuse to believe recent, persistent rumors about its going out-of-print...

Book that changed my life: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe....it's what made me a reader.

Favorite line from a book: "Wild nights are my glory," Mrs Whatsit said. "I just got caught in a down draft and blown off course...I shall just sit down for a moment...and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, pet, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."

Book you most want to read again for the first time: Charlotte's Web
