WTF Lego?

What has happened to the Lego site today?

Another Book Meme

April 5th, 2005

Geez, they come around fast don’t they? Thanks Asher (I think).

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?
Hmm, so many, but I think I would be The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman – familiarity and strangeness blended seamlessly. The bridge between childhood and maturity.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
A zillion television characters, but I don’t suppose they count! I can’t remember any specifically from books but I’m a rather crush-prone person, so it’s likely.

The last book you bought is:
Embarrassingly, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I’ve been meaning to read it for ages, there’s something really satisfying about a gripping, unputdownable book even if it is opiate for the masses. Besides, it was on special at the Warehouse!

The last book you finished is?
Stoner McTavish by Sarah Drerer – your typical lesbian mystery book, funny characters, a good romance.

What are you currently reading?
The aforementioned The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Getting Used to Dying by Zhangng Xianliang (a more challenging read). Teaching Reading to Children With Down Syndrome – hoping to do this with Archie this year.

Five Books you would take to a deserted Island?
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien – never get sick of this one
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters – for a lesbian romp and a dose of melodrama
The complete Harry Potter series by JK Rowling – pure escapism
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare – endlessly thought provoking
The Odyssey by Homer – inspiring for one stuck on a desert island

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Sidherian – more lesbian romps?
Jessie @ the Backyard – she needs another book meme
ACP – something to blog about?

That’s enough about my reading habits to last a lifetime – no more book memes!
