Vacation Reading List

Most of my first 48 hours of vacation will be on planes and trains, which means I will need to bring some reading material with me. Must be paperbacks, must be a convenient size (I want reading material, not weight training). With this in mind, and Spider Robinson as my inspiration, I offer this meme for you-all to respond to:

1. What is the first Science Fiction book you remember reading?



2. Which author would you always read, regardless of the title or subject of the book?



3. Name a book which you found surprisingly engrossing.



4. What non-reference book do you read over and over again?



5. What book made you laugh out loud? When it was supposed to?



6. Name a book which you found both highly readable and educational.



7. Is there a book you don't think someone like me would ever think of reading which you enjoyed immensely?



8. What is the first Science Fiction movie you saw in a theater or drive-in?

Feel free to list multiple answers to any and all questions.
