Call Me Ishmael! What if the name you want to be know by? Is it a nick name or a formal name? Post a gif in the response or tell us the favorite name you are called by. I love it hearing, "Mom".

Are you more of a fiction reader, a nonfiction reader, or do you switch back and forth? What draws you to your preference? → "I love fiction because it lets me escape." → "I mostly read nonfiction — I want to feel like I'm learning something."

My favorite character is Sam Ganges. He seems like a back up or supporting character for most of the story, but then his Master starts to fail under the load of the Ring and the path to destroying it.
