a book meme from Ria
I've not been as addicted to memes lately as I used to be, but KiwiRia passed me this baton, so how could I refuse? That's like getting my name in a KS list post! ;)
You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451-- which book do you want to be?
Hmm. Which book? I don't know. It's not so much the paper and ink that are key to what's important in a book, it's the content (although I realize that for many many years, print was basically the only enduring medium for retaining content, and so was very important) -- so I would be one of the people memorizing books in the woods -- a human book, so to speak.
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
I've answered this one a few times. Justin in Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH and Stan Crandall in Fifteen, among others.
The last book you bought is:
Actually, it was Fahrenheit 451.
The last book you read:
Les Misérables.
What are you currently reading?
After Les Mis I wanted something stirring and pungent without being heavy, so I'm reading some Cynthia Voigt -- Izzy, Willy-Nilly. I also am midway through Anne of Avonlea but I haven't picked it up in a while. And in my morning reading, I've just started Joshua and am a few chapters in.
Five books you would take to a deserted island:
1) The Bible
2) War and Peace. I'd be sure to get through it then.
3) Anne of Green Gables, the definitive "comfort read" for me.
4) Pride and Prejudice
5) Persuasion
Whom are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Kristen, Jenn, and -- Mary, do you still keep an online journal? If you do, send me a link, missy!
