Book Meme

Here is another meme brought to you via aleah.

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be Chocolat by Joanne Harris. But really, in Fahrenheit 451, would you really want to be a book?! In the end, there's this cult of people who remember books, to "save" those books that are all being burned, but still....

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Hmmm. I don't think--- oooh, wait, just remembered one. I used to really dig the vampire in the Anita Blake books-- Jean Claude. But that was when Hamilton was still being subtle and not writing soft-core porn.

The last book you bought is:
Twin to Twin by: Margaret O'Hair, Thierry Courtin (Illustrator) It's a baby book featuring red-headed fraternal boy/girl twins. I had to have it. :)

The last book you read:
Divine Comedies: Here Comes the Sun and Odds and Gods by Tom Holt. I actually only read Odds and Gods thus far, but will read the other soonish. Tom Holt is REALLY funny. (Like a cross between Neil Gaiman and Douglas Adams).

What are you currently reading?
Fool's Errand, by Robin Hobb, (for fun) and for work, Literature after Feminism by Rita Felski and The Home Plot: Women Writers and Domestic Ritual by Ann Romines

Five books you would take to a deserted island:
Collected Poems of Anne Sexton
Mockingbird by Sean Stewart
Women of Wonder, Pamela Sargent, Editor
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
I guess one of those "surviving desert island" books, too. :)


Three people I choose to "stick this" to and why:
I decided to NOT actually stick this to anyone. It's a pretty cool meme, but I don't want to force anyone to answer it.... if you want to share, you can answer it in the comments. (I don't pass on those chain emails either). :)
