Draped to the Ankles

That book meme

I'm so excited! I got a meme passed on to me. And it was one I had seen before and been thinking about already. Thanks, Lynn.

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
I've always thought I would be The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett, but it's such a long book, I don't think I could ever memorize the whole thing. Perhaps Love You Forever by Robert Munsch would be more my speed. It's certainly the most moving book I ever read.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Gosh, Yes! Francis Crawford of Lymond, the main character in the Chronicles of Lymond, of which Game of Kings is the first book. I so wanted to marry a man just like him. But there aren't many who can write songs and poetry, quote the classics, wrestle, fence, sing, fight, command men, and play the lute AND pianoforte around these days.

The last book you bought is:
Conflict of Honors by Sharon Lee and Stephen Miller. I bought it used, but I have been looking for it for a while. It's recommended by people who like Catherine Asaro's Skolian Empire books. So far, it's looking good.

The last book you read:
The last book I finished was Archangel Protocol. The last book I read was Seeds of Time by Kay Kenyon. I didn't like it, though: the future she wrote about was just too grim, and her main characters were not very sympathetic.

What are you currently reading?
Conflict of Honors

Five books you would take to a deserted island:
1. Can I take a whole series as one book? 'Cause I need my Chronicles of Lymond.
2. Dune. When I read it at the age of 11, it really changed my outlook on life.
3. A History of Art book, perhaps by Marilyn Stockstad. The pictures would be comforting.
4. The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by the Dalai Lama. He makes sense to me.
5. The Lord of the Rings series. I have never read it, aside from The Hobbit in high school. This would force me to finish it - maybe.

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons)? And Why?
1. Craig, because I know he'll come up with something hoity-toity as well as funny.
2. Roxanne because I would like to know what she reads.
3. Rufus because she needs to post more often!
