The Stick

Happy Birthday, Ivy!

Between J, Paul, Ivy and T's birthdays I'm reminded that I have exactly one month left of being on the right side of 35.

Ivy passed me the stick:

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Invitation to a Beheading, by Vladimir Nabokov.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Yes. Holden Caulfield from J.D. Salinger's, Catcher in the Rye.


The last book you bought is: The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.

The last book you read: Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton.

What are you currently reading? The Cider House Rules, by John Irving.

Five books you would take to a deserted island: Hmmm, today?

  1. The Orchard, by Brigit Pegeen Kelly
  2. Ithaca, Francisca Aguirre
  3. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition
  4. Merriam Webster's Collegiate Thesaurus
  5. The New Oxford Annotated NRSV Bible with the Apocrypha, Third Edition
Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?


Avoiding the Muse

Reli(e)able Signs

Whimsy Speaks

because they're brilliant, charming, beautiful people?

    Yay, Suzanne! I like your answers. Thanks for the birthday wishes!

    I wish I'd said something about bringing a Latin dictionary along... :-)

    De Nada!
    Ivy, that one was hard--I had to give up a lot to get those dictionaries in there. :-)

    Thanks for sending it my way. Nearly dropped it, you know.

    Love those dictionaries. Great choice.
