If a stick is wood and wood floats...

Then the stick that just bonked me upside the head must be a witch!

Or it just means that I've been chosen, by the brilliant Edana, to do this book meme. Here goes..


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

The one that doesn't get burned? Oooh.. How about those books that the townspeople memorized? Probably Shakespeare's Complete Works.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Oh, my.. Have I ever! Westley from The Princess Bride-- I do love a pirate-- and Dream from the Sandman comic book series.

The last book you bought is:

It's been a while since I've bought books-- I usually stop at the library--but I did buythe first two of Garth Nix's The Keys to the Kingdom books. Very good.

The last book you read was:

The last book I read was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle because Sawyer, on Lost, was reading it. Every book in that show has a meaning. The book was only so-so. It ended much too abruptly, but I found the whole idea of tessering fascinating.

What are you currently reading?

Watership Down by Richard Adams. Also because Sawyer's reading it on Lost. Who would've expected Sawyer to be such a reader? I'm liking this book so far, but it is kind of embarrassing when people ask you to describe what it's about because all I can say so far is "It's...about bunnies. Migratory bunnies..."

Five books you would take to a deserted island:

1. To be practical, I'd first bring Toxic Plants. I don't want to eat the wrong thing.
2. American Gods by Neil Gaiman because I could read it over and over and never get bored.
3. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett. The funniest book about the apocalypse that you'll ever read.
4. Hogfather by Terry Pratchett because it still makes me giggle and I love any Pratchett book that has either Death or the Four Horsemen in it.
   
5. No Exit and Three Other Plays by Jean Paul Sartre. Unexpected, isn't it? But I do love the plays. Great in English, better in the original French. Read them in high school, then again in college and I'm still in love with them.

Now comes the passing of the stick!

Oh, crap. I hate picking. How about the next three willing victims to comment on this post get passed the stick? Sounds fair!
