I Read Good

Thanks to Dead Serious for tagging me with this book questionnaire and not meme, as Yaron so eloquently points out.

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
I'll have to go with The Little Prince. It's been a favorite of mine since childhood. (I can't believe how many people have not read Fahrenheit 451 but Dead Serious has a good explanation of the meaning: For those who haven't read Bradbury's book, in the novel-world, all books have been destroyed. To insure that these valuable resources survive, members of an underground all "become" books. That is, they memorize them and can recite them to others. Living texts. Neat idea, right?)

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
When i was a teenager, like Karol, i had a crush on Holden Caufield. I actually liked Zooey from Zooey and Franny as well. I get attached to characters pretty quickly but i don't know if i have crushes on them - probably most recent character i felt intensely about was Joe Kavalier from Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. That guy could draw, write comic books, and wanted to kick Hitler's ass - that's pretty hot.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle by Robert Pirsig
