alfvaenThe Friday Five this week actually interest me, so I might as well answer it:
1. What is the first book you remember reading?
I trust this memory less and less as time goes on, but for a long time I've been convinced that it is Heidi by Johanna Spyri. I don't remember a lot of real kids' books.
2. What is your favorite book?
Only one? Well, The Sun, The Moon & The Stars by Steven Brust is certainly in the top five/ten, and I was thinking about it recently, so we'll go with that one. It's certainly the one I am mostly likely to reread in whole or in part if I happen to pick it up "to check something". I think I posted a top N list on the NaNoWriMo forums somewhere.
3. Who is your favorite author?
Umm...C.J. Cherryh, I guess. I have a top N list for this one, too, I imagine.
4. Pick up the nearest book (magazine or any available printed material will do). Turn to page 24 (or the closest to it). Go to the 7th line. What is it?
Hmmm, the numbers have changed since the last time I saw this meme. "Line", though? It used to be sentence, which makes more sense. Oh, well, to be excessively literal:
Cazaril."
Intangible points for those who can identify the book! No fair Googling.
5. If you could be any character in literature, who would you be?
Tricky one. I mean, most of the interesting characters in books I read have horrible lives where they have to fight evil and stuff. And, let's face it, I wouldn't actually like that kind of life. Something in my head, though, is encouraging me to say Matrim Cauthon from the Wheel of Time. At least he's got a sense of humour about the whole thing.
