Each staff member selects questions to answer from a finely honed and crafted selection, designed to entertain and educate us about their reading lives.  Today we're talking to Katy Limmer. Katy is an English lecturer and she can often be found perusing books in the library, talking animatedly about everyt hing literary, or flicking through a copy of Empire magazine (she also specializes in film studies).
