19. What is your favourite language to read in?

It depends on the book. Books which were written originally in english I read in english. But books originally written in any other language I prefer to read in swedish.

33. Most intimidating book you’ve ever read?

I have never been intimidated by a book.

53. A book you didn’t expect to like but did?

Doktor Glas by Hjalmar Söderberg. I thought it was going to be a very boring book, but gosh how wrong I was. Now it’s among my top favorites. Read it. What makes it so good is the ending.

54. A book that you expected to like but didn’t?

I’ve read dozens of such books! The one which first comes to mind is The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss. It’s a shitty James Bond-esque story set in victorian times. The plot is crap, the main character is a slimy pervert, his sidekick is idiotic, the villains are boring and his love interest is bland. The only redeeming factor about the book is the bisexuality of the main character. But at the same time the worst part, because no one could escape his slimy hands. Ugh, why is Mark Gatiss such a shitty writer?

EDIT: WOPS I forgot 44

44. Favorite film adaptation of a novel?

Does tv adaptions count? If they do, then Pride and Prejudice. The cast is perfect, the camerawork is fantastic, the music fits perfectly, the sound editing and everything else was just done right. And Jennifer Ehle is perfect as Elizabeth Bennet. I just really really like it!

But if it must be a film… Then it’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. That is truly a terrific adaption, especially considering how much they must cram into a feature-length format. They cut all the bits which weren’t necessary and yet kept the film near the essence of the story.
