Books.

I was starting to feel a little left out that no one had tagged me for that book meme (just because a girl listens to rap music doesn't mean she doesn't read) going around but now that I have been tagged, uh, well here are my answers:

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
I read this 10 million years ago and don't quite remember the premise. But, if I could be any book I guess I would be 'Girl' by Blake Nelson (don't see the movie, for the love of the lord, don't see the movie). I liked high school and it's about a girl who goes to see bands and dates different musicians. I don't know, sounds ok to me. Otherwise, I would love to be the real deal like Anais Nin or Dorothy Parker.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Probably not. Characters are usually disfunctional, that's what makes good reading, but I tend to stay away from those types of people for coupling. Sure, I loved Holden when I was 15, but a brooding, unstable dude running away from his life these days? No thanks.

The last book you bought is:
Jake bought me three fabulous books by Countess of Romanones Aline which I'm looking forward to reading.

The last book you read:
I read Hugh Hewitt's 'Blog' and Christopher Hitchens' 'Love, Poverty and War' at roughly the same time.

What are you currently reading?
I like to have one non-fiction and one fiction book going at the same time. Currently, it's two fiction and one non. A Dawn Summers recommendation, 'I know this much is true' by Wally Lamb, 'If it's not close they can't cheat' by Hugh Hewitt and The Portable Dorothy Parker. Then am getting started on the Countess of Romanones Aline books.

Five books you would take to a deserted island.
'Life After G-d' By Douglas Coupland. One of my favorite books. Its flaw is that it's very short and I've read it 5 million times.
A Russian-English dictionary. Yes, I'm co-opting this from Dawn but it's a good idea. If I've got nothing but time, may as well learn perfect Russian.
'War&Peace' by Leo Tolstoy. Hey it's long, I've never read it and I may as well get it in Russian since I'll have the dictionary there and all.
'Life is Elsewhere' By Milan Kundera. Kundera is my favorite writer, having never written anything that I did not enjoy. This is my favorite book by him.
The History of the World by J.M Roberts. I may as well get a long book about everything.

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

Ace, because when I told him about it he said 'please don't'. And, he hardly gives anything away about himself so maybe this will force him to.
Cathy Seipp, because she would probably have some interesting answers.
The boys from Slowplay, because I know what they play (poker), what they listen to (rap) but what do they read?
