bettiwettiwoo's Journal: Being a Book & Reading Some

As I'm sure you've noticed by now, there's a questionnaire relay currently doing the rounds: Being a Book & Reading Some (& Bragging about It on the Net).

So without further ado:

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
    If I'm stuck inside Fahrenheit 451 I don't want to be a book at all: are you crazy?!? They burn books there! If I necessarily have to be a book I would much prefer to be The Name of the Rose in which they only burn people. So much more civilized.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
    Scarlet Pimpernel.

The last book you bought is:
    Amartya Sen, Development as Freedom.

The last book you read:
    Ann Coulter, How to Talk to a Liberal. (If You Must).

What are you currently reading?
    Robert Bork, Slouching Towards Gomorrah.

Five books you would take to a deserted island.
    * The New Oxford Book of English Verse
    * Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose
    * Marcel Proust, På Spaning efter den Tid som Flytt
    * Peter Englund, Ofredsår
    * Ship building 101

Sen Coulter + Bork

I love Sen. Suggestion. [isbn.nu]

If I get stuck...

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

I'd want to be Fahrenheit 451. Surely, they're not so mad as to destroy the whole world. They wouldn't dare!
