Bad Anna Likes

Personal preferences for books by  favorite curmudgeons, authors, greats, originals. What books do you treasure?

"(paraphrase)
Typography should be like a crystal goblet, so that you are totally involved with the movement, color and bouquet of the wine without noticing the glass. "

The Martian Testament

Occasionally an author as well as reader (publisher, editor, hawker...). I'm working my way through an audiobook version (myself narrating) of The Martian Testament. The paper edition is already available at www.createspace.com/4300682. Also on my website under fiction, at www.bandannabooks.com/ebooks/marseb.php

 

Which means I'm reading every word I wrote yet again. And I have to say that it touches me in some places, offers a fresh point of view (from Mars), and even invades my dreams. 

 

Being in the book business for so long, I find that I rarely actually sit down to read a book, and if I do, it's for a very good reason (ha, in my mind).
