Digital Common Sense

Thanks to all the BlogHer Con chatter, I’m crossing paths with all sorts of interesting new people. Today’s new person is Mary who got tagged with this book meme that I snagged because it’s one of the more interesting that I’ve seen lately. (Note - Fixed the link. Thanks Elisa!)

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be? Ummm, Farenheit 451 is a book. Did you mean that movie? I never bothered watching it. They can’t possibly drop the price low enough for me to buy it at Costco in the next decade.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Does Emma Peel count? She has to count, right?

The last book you bought is?
Getting Things Done - David Allen.

What are you currently reading?
Catch Me If You Can - Frank Abagnale
Angels and Demons - Dan Brown
On Writing - Stephen King

Five books you would take to a deserted island
Shakespeare anthology. Pick one. There are many to choose from.
Collected works of Thoreau
Bible
The Stand - Stephen King
US Army Survival Manual (duh!)

Who are you going to pass this stick to and why?
Jeneane because I think she reads far more than she lets on.
Jon because he reads things I’d never think to pick up for myself.
Shelley because I wonder what she’d read on a deserted island where she’d have no reason to read/write code.
ntodd because of his eclectic tastes and the neat Russian history he’s always finding. (Besides, he’s never played a meme that I can recall)
Marek because he’s just been too damn quiet.
