if you're writing something about a prof's favourite book, just be careful! He/she will have very definite ideas about it and if yours are different, they'd better be convincing.

I once had a professor who was passionate about Tolkien and actually had a manuscript which he would pass reverently around the group. One of us was doing her Honours thesis on LOTR and he was her supervisor. I hope she did well, but I bet he put her through a lot!

Thanks for the responses, everyone. You've given me some good ideas - but by all means keep the suggestions coming.
