Now doing this meme so people won't have to suffer through a gratuitous icon post ;).

3 books you use most often for reference

The MLA, fourth ed. (I guess that'll change now that I'm out of college...)
My Japanese electronic dictionary. Not technically a book, but very heavily used.
Rachel Pollack's Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom. Does a tarot book count?

3 books you read on "high rotation"

The Ender series (once a year or so)
Robin McKinley, Deerskin (I think because it was around in Taiwan, while Beauty was in the States)
Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

Strangely, I can't think of any right now in particular. I'm used to reading all my books in high rotation because I couldn't get my hands on enough back in Taiwan. So everytime I went back there for summer or winter vacations, I'd just reread all the old favorites... I also tend to just read the "good parts" for a quick pick me up.

3 books you read for comfort

Anything by L.M Montgomery
Assorted Nora Roberts
Juliet Marillier, Child of the Prophecy

Also, anything I read as a kid: Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing with Dragons series, Susan Cooper, Madeleine L'Engle, etc.

3 books you really ought to read

James Joyce, Ulysses, out of sheer guilt. One should really read the most known work of an author one has written two papers on.
Shakespeare, King Lear
Salinger, Catcher in the Rye

I'm not good at classics. I play in my little genre corner most of the time.

3 books you will never read

James Joyce, Ulysses
Anything horror by Stephen King. Read a short once, scared me half to death. Never touching it again.
The Bible. Tried once, got a bit into Exodus, and then gave up. Did however read a bit more of the NT for my Christian origins class.

Everything else is mostly up for grabs.
