How long have you worked at Lemuria?
I have been working here for almost a month.
What do you do at Lemuria?
I mostly work the register now, but I really like helping people find new books to read.
Talk to us what you’re reading right now.
I actually just started reading A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin. I also have been reading a short story collection by Richard Matheson off-and-on for the last few months. I am also always reading comic books and graphic novels.
What’s currently on your bedside table (book purgatory)?
Foundation by Isaac Asimov. I’ve had it for about a year, and it’s a really heavy read. Also several of the old Star Wars books.
How many books do you usually read at a time?
I try to just stick to one at a time, but I usually end up at 2-3.
I know it’s difficult, but give us your current top five books.
Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Favorite authors?
H.P. Lovecraft, Douglas Adams, Richard Matheson, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke. A lot of authors actually.
Any particular genre that you’re especially in love with?
I love science fiction and horror. Also high fantasy, if it’s really good.
What did you do before you worked at Lemuria?
I’ve been focusing on school for a few years, but before that, I worked at a comic book store here in Jackson.
If you could share lasagna with any author, dead or alive, who would it be? What would you ask them?
One of the older authors who predicted things that came true, like Jules Verne or Aldous Huxley. I’d want to ask them how they knew what they knew.
Why do you like working at Lemuria?
It sounds like a cliché, but I love books. I like working around things that I love, and getting to share them with customers.
If we could have any living author visit the store and do a reading, who would you want to come?
Someone really famous and fun with a lot of buzz around them. Like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, or George R.R. Martin.
If Lemuria could have ANY pet (mythical or real), what do you think it should be?
That monster book from Harry Potter. The one with the teeth and eyes that tries to bite everyone.
If you had the ability to teleport, where would you go first?
Mars.
