10. What author do you own the most books by and why?

I think it must be L. M. Montgomery: I have 36 of her books (including five volumes of her journals). Why? Because I couldn't find 37. :-) She's just a wonderful writer and I've bought everything of hers that I could find.

11. Do you own multiple copies of any book? What are they? Why do you have multiple copies?

I have multiple copies of a few different books. Probably the most copies of the Bible: I have the one I use for daily devotions and Bible study, and a couple of little travel Bibles to take on trips, and I think that the Living Bible my parents gave me when I was eight and one or two of the Bibles I had for school are still around here somewhere. (Different schools required different versions: RSV, KJV, etc. Personally, I prefer the New King James.)

12. Book borrowing – do you use the library? Do you prefer to try before you buy? What about lending your books to friends? Are you a good borrower, do you remember to return books?

Yes; sometimes; occasionally; usually. When I was a kid I wasn't a very good borrower; I'd forget to return them, or carry them around in my backpack and let the covers get bent. Then I would feel horribly guilty. So I've tried hard to become a more careful borrower -- when I do borrow books, which isn't often.

I'm talking about personal borrowing. As far as the library goes . . . for some reason I'm usually a couple of days late with the returns!
