debetesseYou're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
I'll cheat. The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide (or whatever it is they call the Big Blue Book). I don't think society should lose that one.
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Only since I can remember. Many times.
The last book you bought is:
Fiction: Wicked. 3/4 of the way through now. Loving it.
Nonfiction: Freakanomics. For my dad, but I'll end up reading it.
The last book you read:
What did I finish last...either "The Strange Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" or "Good Omens". I read a lot on the England trip. And most of it pretty British.
What are you currently reading?
A Brief History of Nearly Everything, Wicked, and, sort of, just started, Cavalier and Clay.
Five books you would take to a deserted island:
1) Big Blue Hitchhiker Book. Not that it never gets old, but I could read that forever.
2) If it's a few years from now, the Complete Harry Potter (there is so gonna be a 1-volume edition). If now, A Wrinkle in Time.
3) The Lord of the Rings. As long as there's HHGTTG to break it up with, and I can read outloud, I'm set.
4) Worst Case Scenario Book (as placeholder for survival guide/How to have the most comfortable life possible out of contact with civilization).
5) Oh, lets go for All-British-All-the-Time. Complete Shakespeare.
Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
I really have no idea who has done it already, but
Kristin (because I like feeling uneducated), Hil (Because I expect interestingly different/same answers), and Aimee (The same thing, in a rather different way)
