"I quite prefer to read a book by more classic authors. My favorite author of all time is Ernest Hemingway. I just finished reading 'The Sun Also Rises,' which I have read three times. Next, I am going to read one of his newer books, 'A Moveable Feast.'

Here is your opportunity to share with the interviewer if you have a favorite author and why. There is no right or wrong answer; however, be sure to show some excitement and be prepared with a well-researched answer.
For example "Hands down, my favorite author is Tony Robbins. I am currently reading his book, 'Unshakeable.' His enthusiasm for personal and professional development excites me. He writes on a relatable level and shares experiences that resonate with me."

I enjoyed many different books by many authors, so I don't have a particular favorite author. However, after reading "The Night Circus," I do like Erin Morgenstern's lyrical writing style.
