Book Meme

At least a month ago, Hilary tagged me on this book meme, and I’m making good on my promise to do it. πŸ™‚

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

I have to come clean and admit that I’ve never read this book. Isn’t that horrible?

That said, assuming like Hilary that I’m one of the book people who memorizes entire books, I guess I would take “A Wrinkle in Time,” it being my very favorite book and all.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

I think I must have…I probably had a little crush on Calvin O’Keefe. And if I were younger, I’d be all about Harry Potter. πŸ˜‰

The last book you bought is:

Er…I don’t remember. I’ve been reading mostly books I already own, have borrowed, or have taken from the library.

4. The last book you read:

Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut

What are you currently reading?

Funny, I was just having this conversation with Jen last night…I used to be a person who would read one entire book before moving on to another one. These days, though, I seem to have several irons in the fire. Here’s what I’m reading now:

The Invisibles, Grant Morrison
Naked Pictures of Famous People, Jon Stewart
The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Euginedes
The God We Never Knew, Marcus J. Borg

Five books you would take to a deserted island.

A Wrinkle in Time, Madeline L’Engle (because it’s my favorite book)
The Complete Works of Shakespeare (hey, that counts…and it would keep me busy)
Cat’s Eye, Margaret Atwood (because I own it and I haven’t read it yet, and I adore Margaret Atwood)
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez (again, because maybe I’d finally actually read it)
The Eyre Affair, Jasper Fforde (because it’s such great fun, and because I think I’d always find something new in it.)

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Ray, because I know he appreciates these things even though he doesn’t have a blog…he can email me or post his answers here. Rand, because it’s something he might actually post on his blog. πŸ˜‰ And Jen, just because.
