Book Meme
Brittany challenged me to list off on this book meme which is defined as “An idea that, like a gene, can replicate and evolve. Examples of memes (and meme systems) include political theories, proselytizing religions, and the idea of memes itself.”
So on with the questions
You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. What book would you be?
Well, It wouldn’t be any Jane Austen or L. M. Montgomery(Anne of Green Gables) Books! Muhahahahah, I’d be throwing those into the fire. In fact, I’d be on the book finding team! Actually. I think I’d be The Complete Calvin and Hobbes because little boys need to know how to act from somewhere. Where better than a cartoon?
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Have I? Have I? Does multiple characters count? Can I include Movies? (OH Xanadu), do I just start listing names? Diane Berry?
Which fictional character do you like the most?
I’m a SciFi/Fantasy nerd so I’d have to say Alvin Maker from the “Alvin Maker” series by Orson Scott Card
The last book you bought is…
If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor by Bruce Campbell. He’s by far the most down to earth, funny B Movie actor around. He has even replied to e-mails from me. How cool is that?
What are you currently reading?
If Chins Could Kill I really don’t read that fast, and I’m a one book guy
Five books you would take to a deserted island
Scriptures Classics 😉 Big Thick Book, like a Dictionary I have to start fires somehow.. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by JK Rowlings because, I’d have it before EVERYONE Else! Muhahahahahaha A Survival Book Because, unlike Tom Hanks, I’d die if I didn’t have instructions on how to live (well, if I had a volleyball to tell me what to do, I might be able to make it..) The Complete Garfield Collection What better entertainment than to see Odie get beat up by Garfield. That’s Classic Lit I tell you.
What books, if any, do you NOT want to read?
Pride and Prejudice Anne of Green (Gables, Avonlea, Beens, you name it)
Who are you going to pass this to?
Kelly, because I want to see if she still read this, or has quit in disgust Leigh Moore, because she is a English Major, and I’m trying to see if she reads here anymore as well My Dad, I just want to see what he’d say.
I’m waiting for you to bring it, my friend. 😉
Your attacks thus far have been of the I’m rubber, your glue variety. 🙂
And really, it’s not like I’m going to stop liking Anne of Green Gables. Reading those books is like going to a very homey, carefree place, where I can imagine what I would have done if I had lived during those times. I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion I was born 100 years too late, but at the same time I’m way too liberated and liberal to be able to survive back then.
Jane Austin isn’t that bad, really, I promise.
and FEC is future eternal companion. . . what rock have you been hiding under in Mormondom? Even I know that as a convert 😉
The Jane Austin Society is having a meeting at the library. It’s called “Why we love Jane Austin” I think you should go!
Chris, we all know that you have an undying love for Jane Austin, and anything that has to do with Anne of Green Gables. It is time to stop denying the truth, and admitting who you REALLY are! ;P
I have to admit, your choices are a little heavy on the cartoon side. Maybe that is how we all should view the world. In any event, I also would be intereste to hear what you would do if you had a DVD player and TV, then what would you take.
I don’t know about some of the books, ones I have never heard of, but you do have some good choices.
Have you read Enchantment by Orson Scott Card? Awesome book.
Just catching up today. The only books I can speak of these days involve a bunch of theory blah blah blah about my thesis. One day I’ll return to the glory that is reading for fun (a la L.M. Montgomery and Jane Austen).
Oh, I’ll bring it on.
I’ll bring it on.
