Reading lists

Brian at Audience of One (wish I knew how to link) offered up this quiz and here are my answers.

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

It's been a while since I read either, but I think I would choose AynRand, "Atlas Shrugged" or the "Fountainhead." Or Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Self-Reliance." Each of these had something important to say and worth keeping for a society.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

oh my yes. Rhett Butler in "Gone With The Wind", Gilbert Blythe in "Anne of Green Gables"....there are others.

The last book you bought is:

I just used my Borders gift cards from Christmas on "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini; "John Adams" by David McCullough; "South Beach Diet" and "South Beach Diet Cookbook." I buy books way too often.

The last book you read:

I've started several, but keep getting distracted. Actually, the last book I read was "Alcoholics Anonymous" or the Big Book as it's called.

What are you currently reading:

"Running with Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs

Five books you would take to a Desert Island and why:

Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maude Montgomery (the whole series), because I have loved them since childhood and they go everywhere with me (I'm red head gal, after all.)

Shelby Foot's History of the Civil War series because I've been meaning to read them for a very long time.

The 9/11 Commission Report because I've wanted to read that since it came out as well.

John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" because it is such a great read.

Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling. I'm a big Harry fan and this one's the best so far.

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

Just my blog buddies.
