Newest Book Meme

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

Aristotle's Rhetoric, because knowing how to argue and present ideas is paramount to any functioning intellectual society.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

I am absolutely promiscuous when it comes to crushes on fictional characters. A big one was Ellie Arroway from Contact, and I've had more than a few man-crushes as well, like Pierre Bezuhov from War and Peace and Michael from Microserfs.

The last book you bought was:

Volkswagen Blues by Jacques Poulin


The last book you read was:

City of God by E.L. Doctorow, which was sitting in my room leftover from Katherine's stuff.


What are you currently reading?

America: the Book by the “Daily Show” staff.

Five books you would take to a desert island:
  1. War and Peace (word greed applying to most of these..)
  2. Microserfs
  3. The Life of Pi
  4. Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth -- by Mohandas Gandhi
  5. The Philosophical Writings of Descartes
Who are you going to pass the baton to (three persons), and why?

The other Hallwegians. Because they should all post more often.
