I like to read Octavia E. Butler's 'Wild Seed' over and over again. And J. California Cooper's 'The Wake of the Wind.' That one makes me cry from joy. I'll mourn - I'll actually mourn - and then I'll cry from joy. She's wonderful.

Back in my mid-20s I was told I'd never be able to have children as I wasn't having periods.

I chose not to have the operation, and am so glad I didn't.
