And its not easy!



You're one of the Book People stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be? (ref: a nationwide network of book lovers who have memorized many great works of literature and philosophy.)

My head is saying Godel, Escher Bach, by Douglas R Hofstadter, my heart is saying Schismatrix Plus, by Bruce Sterling

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Almost certainly, but I'm not sure I can remember any names at the moment... Galadriel perhaps?

What are you currently reading?

Iron Council, by China Mieville

The last book you bought is:

Either Century Rain, by Al Reynolds, or Stomping Butterflies, by Jon Courtenay Grimwood (and i hope I've spelt that right). Bought at the same time.

The last book you read:

Nine Layers of Sky, by Liz Williams

Five books you would take to a deserted island:

Dune, by Frank Herbert
Stand on Zanzibar, by John Brunner
Godel, Escher, Bach - unless I've already memorised it!
Schismatrix Plus - ditto
Lord of the Rings
The Encyclopedia Britanica (cheating I know!)

These picks could easily change with the wind - other books that could scatter in include:

Chasm City, Neuromancer, Armageddon Rag, The Long Run, Ring, Cryptonomicon, A Deepness in the Sky & A Fire Upon the Deep, Hyperion & The Fall of Hyperion, Imperial Earth

Who are you going to pass this stick to (three friends) and why?

Who to pick as victims...
