When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.

I grew up in a haunted house, reading Dr. Seuss.

We were a Seuss family. As a child, I read almost all of his books, but the one I loved best was 'The Lorax.'

Growing up, my two favorite books were Woody Allen's 'Side Effects' and Phyllis Diller's 'Housekeeping Hints.' I carried that Phyllis Diller book with me everywhere when I was in fifth or sixth grade. Eventually, it just fell apart.

You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Seuss.

'Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever.

Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up.

My mom didn't write, but she loved to read. She liked books 'that made you a little nervous.' Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Peter Straub were the three wise men of our family bookshelf.

For the very young, there's nothing better than Mother Goose and anything by Dr. Seuss for the rhythms and language.

My favourite books series as a young child was the Frank L. Baum 'Wizard of Oz' series. They were beautifully written, oversized fat books with wonderful type and illustrations.
