This book meme has been making the blog rounds and it caught my lit-lovin' eye. If any of you out there in blogland answer it yourselves, drop me a line so I can see your selections.

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

The Early Worm by Robert Benchley

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

A character from a book? Not that I recall, though I'd be willing to step out with Nora Charles or Tuppence Beresford any time.

Um, is it wrong of me to have picked two married gals? Yeah, I thought so.

The last book you bought is:

Triplanetary by E. E. "Doc" Smith

The last book you read:

Ask The Dust by John Fante

What are you currently reading?

New Grub Street by George Gissing

Five books you would take to a deserted island.

With the caveat that something like The Illustrated Book Of Building Ocean Going Vessels From Palm Fronds is disqualified, I'd select:

  • Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
  • Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne
  • Battle Circle by Piers Anthony
  • Adventures of Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
  • Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne

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

None of my friends can read.
