READIN

🦋 This one's right up my alley!

PZ Myers introduces me to the latest meme going around the academic blogs. Here are my answers:

• You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
  Not sure, I think an epic poem like Iliad or Beowulf but that is a hasty thought, such an important decision would take some consideration when the time came.
• Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
  Don't be silly. Well maybe. When reading short stories, I think that happens; but not in novels. Mostly. (Note: the name "Jessica Swanlake" was running through my head when I wrote this but I'm not sure why -- it's Roger has a crush on her, not me...)
• The last book you bought is:
  The Economist's Tale by Peter Griffiths
• The last book you read:
  Ditto
• What are you currently reading?
  Call it Sleep by Henry Roth
• Five books you would take to a deserted island:
  I'll think about this for a while and then update. (Or not.)
• Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons)? And Why?
  Whoever reads this, consider it passed.

Update: Roy did this too, and passed the stick to me, so I am retroactively crediting him.
