Rules: There are none. Reblog with your answers.Tag someone if you want. Or don’t. Let’s just have fun with it. :) (Please tag macrolit so we can see your replies.)
1. Name a book you’re embarrassed to say you haven’t read yet.
2. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?
3. Look at your bookshelf. What’s the first book you see with a yellow spine?
4. If you could have one new book from a deceased author, who would it be?
5. Name an author who deserves more readership.
I tag: Every one of ML’s followers. :)
I’ve never read the unabridged Les Misérables.
Ahem. Take your best guess. Second-strangest thing would probably be a reproduction 18th-century shoe buckle.
- Monty Python’s Flying Circus: All the Words (vol. II)
Vonnegut.
James Lee Burke.
I tag you.1. Moby Dick
2. A piece of toilet paper (unused)

1. Any Harry Potter book
2. Another, smaller book
3. “I Like You” by Amy Sedaris
4. Kafka
5. IDK about specific authors, but Michel Faber’s “Under The Skin” was so good, I read it twice in a row, and the film adaptation doesn’t even begin to touch how amazing the novel really is. Read it.
1. I’m not embarrassed, either I’m meant to read a book or I’m not.
2. Scrap fabric.
3. I did a huge purge of my paper books, and I don’t think I have any with a yellow spine now. I’ll tell you about my three spineless books, books of Random Drawings by Angus Oblong volumes 1, 2, and 3.
4. Terry Pratchett
5. Richard Brautigan
1. A Prayer for Owen Meany
2. A dollar bill.
3. On left bookshelf: A Red Herring Without Mustard by Alan Bradley. On right bookshelf: Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde.
4. Douglas Adams
5. John Welter (who seems to have disappeared after writing three books) or P.G. Wodehouse because everyone should read several of his books just for the sheer enjoyment (especially Wooster and Jeeves)
Why not pop in for a random reblog/questionnaire? (Btw, the new reblog format is the way it always should have been)
1. Well, I’m not embarrassed by it, but I’ve never made it all the way through Catch-22, after several attempts. It’s not meant to be, I guess.
2. I don’t use bookmarks; I’m a page folder. That’s right. Come at me, bro.
3. On the left shelf: a coffee table book about art through the centuries. On the right shelf: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle.
4. James Joyce
5. David Eagleman. Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives is a book that your brain plays with for a long time after you’re done reading it. Fitting, I guess, since he’s also a neuroscientist.
Hi.
(via mathcat345)
Seriously.
Being too warm is SO GROSS. I hate breathing hot air, I hate feeling all prickly and sweaty and I hate everything forever until October.
:(
New specs.
