Carol Peters passed the stick to me:

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

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson

2. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Of course. Who hasn’t? I guess my first crush was Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables. And then all of the kids in the Narnia Chronicles. Frankie in A Member of the Wedding. Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird. Del Jordan in Lives of Girls and Women. The protagonist in Microserfs (his name escapes me).

3. The last book you read.

The Feast of Love, by Charles Baxter

4. What are you currently reading?

A short story collection by Mary Robinson entitled, “Tell Me”, and “A Yellow Raft in Blue Water” by Michael Dorris.

5. Five books you would take to a deserted island:
I hate these sorts of questions. But here goes:

  • Anna Karenina (my favorite book)
  • Remembrance of Things Past (because I have this behemoth and have not yet indulged and it would last for a long time)
  • Robinson Crusoe (it is a great book and would add levity)
  • Moby Dick (because I can’t read it enough times)
  • Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas

    6. Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why? I’m going to pass the stick on to Jordan Rosenfeld, Kathy Fish and Mary Akers because they all love to read and write.
