Another Meme. Because they are fun.

1) Which books do you irrationally cringe away from reading, despite seeing only positive reviews?
Twilight.I don't want to hear it. I just won't.

2) If you could bring three characters to life for a social event (afternoon tea, a night of clubbing, perhaps a world cruise), who would they be and what would the event be?
I want Stephan from The Mercy Thompson Series to go on a road trip with me in his Mystery Machine!!!! *complete with stuffed Scooby Doo.* I'm also thinking I'd like to eat pizza with Biff from Lamb by Christopher Moore.I haven't finished that book yet, but man, have I laughed. (And Laughed and laughed...and laughed some more.) The third one? Uh....Dumbledore. Yes, Dumbledore. Hereminds me of my Grandpa. Except for the gay bit. (Cool for Dumbledore, but not so much for my Grandpa.)

3) (Borrowing shamelessly from the Thursday Next series by Jasper Forde): You are told you can’t die until you read the most boring novel on the planet. While this immortality is great for a while, eventually you realize it’s past time to die. Which book would you expect to get you a nice grave?
Anything written by Oscar Wilde. The Picture of Dorian Grey damn near killed me.

4) Come on, we’ve all been there. Which book have you pretended, or at least hinted, that you’ve read, when in fact you’ve been nowhere near it?
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I know the stories so damned well I just don't feel the need to read them. I have read The Hobbit though.

5) You’re interviewing for the post of Official Book Advisor to some VIP (who’s not a big reader). What’s the first book you’d recommend and why?
Again with the Harry Potter. I'm a big fan, can you tell? Though, I'm sure I could recommend something light and fun. Artemis Fowl and the book Holes Louis Sachar got my little sister (who hated reading) to read. In turn, she got me to read those books and I loved them too.

6) A mischievous fairy comes and says that you must choose one book that you will reread once a year for the rest of your life (you can read other books as well). Which book would you pick?
This one made me think for a long time and I'm still not too sure about the answer. If tis my favorite book, I may come to not like it being forced into reading it year after year of my life. I believe I would decline the gift. After all, I've read enough books to know that a faerie doesn't just give you something without some sort of price...OR some sort of twisted entertainment for themselves. Key word there was mischievous.

  1. Ok. This is why I love you so very, very much. You hate Twilight and all the dippy wil tween jerkassfaces who *loooove* Edward (who's a huge asshole in the book, BTW) because he's a dumbass vampire or whatever. I cannot possibly fully express my all-consuming hatred for this.
