ex-lion tamer: book tag
Q1 - You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be [saved]?
Umm, this is a tough one. You know, the most important book I have read in the past five years was Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men. by Lundy Bancroft. I would have to say that. You never know when you are going to encounter an angry, controlling man. And, in spite of the fact that there are a zillion good fiction books out there that I would cry over losing, I think I would save that one.
Q2 - Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Oh, yeah. Many times. Probably the most intense crushes have been on Jack Kerouc, the fictional character invented by Jack Kerouac. Neal Cassady, too.
Q3 - The last book you bought is?
The last book I BOUGHT was The Island of the Blue Dolphins - I'm reading it to Monk.
Q4 - What are you currently reading?
The More You Watch, The Less You Know, by Danny Schechter; and The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison
Q5 - Five books you would take to a deserted island?
I would probably want to take five books I haven't read yet, because I am not the type of person who reads books over and over again. So, the five books that I have not yet read that I would like to find time to read would be:
- Dorothy Allen - Trash
- Tony Morrison - Beloved
- Howard Zinn - A People's History of the United States & Voices of a People's History of the United States (I've read parts of each, but haven't read either all the way through)
- Arundhati Roy - The God of Small Things
- Dalai Lama - The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living
You know, a desert island doesn't sound so bad about now...

How odd- Last night I was watching some old footage of the real Neal Cassady driving the Further Bus.
"coyboy neal at the wheel . . ."
Good to see you back. Just FYI I'm getting the "upgrade your browser message" and an unstyled page even though I'm using the latest version of Firefox for Windows.
Michelle,
Me too.
Dru,
God of Small Things is a pretty severe tearjerker for an island. Good thing you're bringing the Dalai Lama book to cheer you up afterward.
firefox glitch seems to be fixed.
i love what jhames did for you here, it's like hanging out in a lovely and delicious garden. it makes me want to eat a salad for lunch. of course there's hints of fire and blood too [the banner logo is awesome!], which satisfies the action movie part of my psyche.
