Books

Dale from Weekend Pundit passed this meme to me. I nearly declined to respond, not so much out of reluctance to take part, but because honesty would force me to reveal a fact some might find… ironic.

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

This is fairly difficult to answer since most of what people might expect of me would fall under the category of plays or epic poetry. Instead I will opt for Elizabeth Wetherell’s The Wide Wide World, that being the first bit of “modern” fiction I recall reading. It is all well and fine to aspire to loftier tomes, but should not somebody care for the merely entertaining?

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

I do not have crushes. Ever.

The last book you bought is:

The Forbidden Lord by Sabrina Jeffries

The last book you read:

After the Abduction by Sabrina Jeffries

What are you currently reading?

Following the Equator by Mark Twain

Five books you would take to a desert island.

Well, let me assume I was there against my will:

Boat Building Manual by Robert M. Steward

A Star to Steer Her By… by Edward Bergin

Freedom From Fear: Overcoming Anxiety, Phobias and Panic by Liebgold (I harbor an abiding terror of the open sea)

The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?

Etherian, because I believe she would enjoy this.

Dean Esmay, because I am malicious.

Joseph Marshall, because I am curious.
