A book lover’s meme:
Sadie at Fistful of Fortnights tagged me with this meme, very interesting.
You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Just about any Robert Heinlein book, but, particularly To Sail Beyond the Sunset, Stranger in a Strange Land, or Time Enough for Love. Guaranteed to get me burned to a cinder. While I truly love Heinlein’s books (being a huge science fiction fan), some of his material is decidedly questionable, with overtones of promiscuous and lascivious sex, to put it mildly, in his latter books, including these.
Aleister Crowley’s Book 4 and Book of Toth would be fire hogs, as well. Witchcraft and the occult.
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Oh, goodness. I wouldn’t say a crush, but there are certainly a few female characters I would like to meet, if it was possible. Mara Jade from the Star Wars series comes to mind. A strong minded, beautiful woman with a dark side, who doesn’t mind admitting to that dark side, unlike most women (did I just go there? :D)) Mara would be a Republican, I’m sure.
The last book you bought:
The Witches of Chiswick by Robert Rankin and Crown of Slaves by David Webber
What are you currently reading?
Witches of Chiswick
Execution, the Discipline of Getting Things Done by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charon. It’s a business book, very slooowwwllly working my way through. I am pretty much a one book person, and prefer fiction for relaxation, preferably sci fi.
Five books you would take to a deserted island:
-
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein
-
Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Charles Sheffield
-
The Boy Scout Manual
-
One of Us by Michael Marshall Smith
-
Golf for Dummies
I hope that tells ye all a bit about me, at least inadvertently. Now, what 3 victims am I going to pass this on too?
I randomized my blogroll, and the first 3 were Janette at Common Sense Runs Wild, Little Miss Attila and DC of Daisy Cutter. Let’s see if they will play along, shall we?
