What's your all time favorite book?
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. I've never been so afraid of my own apartment before, not counting that one time I got bedbugs.
All time favorite Brooklyn book?
I'm pretty fond of the one and only Jon Sands.
Worst Brooklyn book?
All the ones that haven't been written yet. Get on that!
To you, what's the great American novel?
The Great Gatsby. Gosh, did it get me excited to grow up!
Are you a writer? If not, do you have a side gig besides the bookstore?
I write short stories on the side about gangsters, lawyers, elves, and zombie survivors in love. Not all in one story, of course. I also have been playing World of Warcraft for the past 7 years. I think we can call that a disorder at this point.
The relationship of cats to bookstores: discuss.
They're the gatekeepers. The Merovingian in the bookstore Matrix.
