About LinkBacksIt lacks ambition.
Just make sure you pick a book you've actually read, if the interviewer's read it too, she might want to discuss it.
Don't lie. Talk about books you actually know of. I have no idea what you've read, so I can't comment on that, but just be honest about it. I think the point of that question will be to determine if you actually read and have a concept of the literary world, rather than simply looking for a quiet job and an easy paycheck.

so did you get the gig?
'Cause I'm that fool that broke the key- I'm unlockable so don't check me- I got weight on my shoulders and things on my mind- The sky is falling and I'm falling behind... No shame in my game just par for the path- I try to hone my craft because at hand's the task- But I find I'm not playing with a full deck- I'm up to my neck like Toulouse Lautrec
So I'm assuming from your comment in another thread that you got the job??

stuff is just stuff. your emotional health is much more important. holding raging anger in is more harmful than your faggot-assed tv that probably deserves to get its ass beat anyway.
Seems like the perfect job for you right now man, glad you're having fun.
I applied to Waterstones last year and heard nothing back and was pretty gutted. But then Katie applied and didn't hear anything back either (you'd think an english literature degree would be a bonus) so I felt slightly better....until I went in and they'd hired an army of emo kids.
The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler
Awesome man, great news!

haha that's rad. Do you tell people they have to pay in leather bound pounds? Please do that one time.
she's not that kind of a girl, booger!
Wow, kudos.
I recall a used book place I used to frequent as a kid in Maine. Pro Libris. Picked up a full metric butt-ton of scifi there. All the greats... Norton, Heinlein, Asimov, Herbert. The Proprietor was a fella named Eric. The policy was half the cover price, and trade-ins were basically a quarter of the price, but after a while I was in there so much that he started just swapping the books for me even trade.
They were only paperbacks anyway, but it was pretty damn nice of him to let me keep my three bucks a week.
Once in a while, I realise that I really do live in a very foreign land from where I grew up. They do not do used books out here in Wa. so much.
Pretty sure no one is fooled by my alleged intelligence. However, sometimes my ability to state the obvious seems necessary
