1. Nabokov (if he's too modern, then Dostoevsky ☺️) And I'll go with Margaret Atwood...today.
2. Objectively it's no contest- night alone with books wins, but I do miss the nights out with friends- too few of those these days.
3. I like contemporary the most, but I like to read about all different periods from time to time to keep things interesting.
4. @Dulcinella and @Liz_M if you want to play and haven't.

Billypar @merelybookish No shame necessary- just means you're in for a treat! For a favorite author, I still have a lot of Nabokov to read. He's a tough one to recommend what to read first- I'd just say not Ada. But Lolita, Pale Fire, Invitation to a Beheading or even the tagged book could all work. 6y
merelybookish @Billypar Thanks for the recommendations! I always find quotations from Nabokov interesting but have avoided Lolita since it feels like a book I know too much about without having read it. 6y
Billypar @merelybookish I know exactly what you mean- I think that's Pride and Prejudice for me- I've seen at least 3 different film adaptations so it feels like I've already read it. 6y
