Inside the Readers' Studio
2008 at 9am Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
In the spirit of continuing my “getting to know you” theme from last week, I thought I’d borrow this questionnaire from my good buddy James Lipton (love him!) at Inside the Actors Studio and try to get a fun little meme started at the same time. So, I’ll answer the questions and then tag three of my blogging buddies, who will then tag three more, and well…you see how it goes.
What is your favorite word? I like a lot of words, but I think I’ll go with mellifluous.
What is your least favorite word? smegma. I’ll spare you the link to that definition.
What turns you on (creatively, spiritually or emotionally)? a good vocabulary, wittiness, well-stocked bookshelves
What turns you off (creatively, spiritually or emotionally)? closedmindedness
What sound or noise do you love? my husband’s laugh, the little harrumphing sounds my dog makes when she snuggles, the opening chords to “Rain King” by Counting Crows
What sound or noise do you hate? that incessant beep beep beep of the alarm clock, people chattering on cell phones in public places
What is your favorite curse word? This is so unladylike and improper, but it’s definitely motherf**ker….it’s so multipurpose.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? I’d love to be a travel writer or restaurant reviewer
What profession would you not like to do? police officer, politician, televangelist
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? “The library is right this way…”
I tag Jen at Devourer of Books; Jennifer at The Literate Housewife, and Trish at Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin’? Please tag three more and link back here so I can follow it along.
There are only 3 days left in my Win It Before You Can Buy It giveaway of an ARC of The Gone-Away World. Click here to enter.
Great meme! I’ll get it done in the next day or two.
I love your answer to the last question!
Here’s mine!
We have similar tastes in cuss words! I’m so glad that question is in there.
I’ll be posting later tonight.
I love Inside the Actor’s Studio as well and I agree with you on the cuss word. Also, “I belong in the service of the Queen! I belong anywhere, but in between.”
Beastmomma: thanks for the lyrics! That’s one of my all-time favorite songs, and I’ve been contemplating a tattoo with “anywhere but in between” worked into it somehow. Yay!

I am sorry I didn’t link to you sooner…the link is up now! thanks for checking out my answers
I love your answers! the last one is my favourite! a library in heaven, that would be amazing.
Okay, I finally spent my time Inside the Reader’s Studio.
[...] I’ve been tagged by DevourerofBooks (aka Jen, aka the Nen!), who was tagged by The Book Lady, to do the classic Inside the Actor’s Studio dialog (incidentally, dialog is a word I ALWAYS [...]
Ugh hate the alarm clock!
Great idea! I always love watching this, so I’m looking forward to doing it myself!
