more parlor questions

made these questions up on the spot at a gathering earlier this week, and the answers actually ended up being surprisingly fun:

1. what's a book you would recommend i read?

2. what's your favorite book?

3. what is a book that i should read if i want to understand something about you better?

most interesting is whether someone answers the same thing for all three questions, for none of the questions, etc

there were several German grad students in the room so i learned a lot about cutesy German kids' books, heh

(feel free to answer in the comments, yourselves!)

(( for edgelordiness, you can ask folks who have siblings, "which of you is your parents' favorite?" which actually has generated p entertaining answers but, uh, i'd only ask it if you know the person p well and are p sure you won't be digging up some heavy baggage, capisce ))
