Earthlight, by Arthur C. Clarke is a genre favourite for me.

What makes it standout is that it is for Clarke's writing a fairly action packed novel, a to the point mix of amateur spy adventure and interplanetary conflict, and a tad more realistic as a lot of other 50s SF fare.

Easy.
Annie on my Mind, by Nancy Garden.

I love how she captured the sweetness of first love in that story. It's one of the books that I like to reread every couple years.
Also, this cover is just a favourite, so beautiful:

A few to choose from for the first part, but the second's difficult.

Going with this:
“...fine love poetry tends to be written when the object of one's affection is at a safe distance; also, it often reflects a love of words more than a love of women...”

I was a dinosaurs and Greek myths kid.
This used to be my favourite book, got it several times from the library before buying my own copy:

First book I remember reading, fun fact:

The girl is named Susi, I'm a fan of "Susi und Strolch" (Lady and the Tramp), am a big fan of Suzanne Vega, and fell unconditionally and irrevocably in love with a Susanne.

I tend to joke that my memoirs will be called "An Abundance of Susis"

I was intially so/so on the series, love the books and the show just doesn't quite match it for me, but upon revisiting, it was a fun show and would have deserved a longer run:

Well, well, do test know me... not.

Got pegged as a Angel type (and almost a Giles, colour me flattered), and the probably only Angel/Angelus trait I have is that wew might both agree, he in more words than me, that conscience can be a heavy burden:

Lower class eater.

I note there's a lot of raw meat choices in that questinonaire (may have wrongly classed Sloppy Joe's in that, but the picture looks seriosuly undercooked).

Strictly working class food, yeah, that's a me.
