Book Thing

So Taeko wants me to answer these questions eh? Fairynuff.

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. I've not read Fahrenheit 451, but I believe the plot involves burning books. So I'd be happy to be Mein Kampf and joyfully throw myself onto the flames.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Mmmm Lara Croft... Its NOT the pneumatic breasts, she drives a Land Rover, she climbs, she's clever... we'd make a great team...

The last book(s) you bought:

First Overland, the story of the first overland trip from London to Singapore, done in 1955 by some Oxbridge types. Yes, they were in two Land Rovers.

The last book you read:

The Little Book Of Abuse, a present from Jenny on my birthday.

What are you currently reading?

My DVD player instruction manual.

Five books you would take to a desert island:

• Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance [R Pirsig]


• Walden [H D Thoreau]


• Illusions [Richard Bach]


• A bird guide book appropriate to the area


• Tao Te Ching (Lao Tse)

The first three are books I can always come back to, I've read them several times each. I
keep Walden and ZATAOMM on my PDA and read them when I have a moment.

The Lao Tse would be useful, since it would take a lifetime to understand what on earth its going on about.

Who are you going to pass this stick to? And why?

Nobody, because I dont know anyone else who blogs!
