book meme

Rand passed this to me. He knows I don't usually do this sort of thing but I owe him for the last time I inflicted something similar on him.

Plus I can't say no to Rand. :-)

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

I've opted to skip this one since it seems to overlap with a later question.

For Illustration Friday. Topic this week: "Ambition."

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

No.

The last book you bought is:

Me and My Sister by Ruth Ohi

The last book you read:

Adult fiction:
Fool On the Hill by Matt Ruff (thanks, Parki!)

Kids' fiction:
Me and My Sister by Ruth Ohi

Nonfiction:
The Cartoonist's Workbook by Robin Hall

What are you currently reading?

For pure enjoyment:
Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
Good Poems by Garrison Keillor
Anne Sexton: A Biography by Diane Wood Middlebrook (thanks, Rand!)

For work and self-improvement:
Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne & Dave King
Die unendliche Geschichte by Michael Ende (thanks, Gary!)
Perspective! For Comic Book Artists by David Chelsea (thanks, Kate!)

Because I want to see how many times I can push my sister's book in this entry:
Me and My Sister by Ruth Ohi

Five books you would take to a deserted island.

Emergence by David Palmer
The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson
SAS Survival Handbook by John Wiseman (thanks, Kaarel!)
Good Poems by Garrison Keillor
Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
Me and My Sister by Ruth Ohi (ok, so that makes six...but Ruth's book is very compact so wouldn't take up much room!)

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?

Anyone who is interested in doing this meme is free to do it. Most of the friends whose answers I'd be especially interested in reading don't usually do memes, and I felt guilty enough last time. :-)
