Life According to Literature
Dorothy W. just posted this wonderful meme and I couldn’t pass up on it. Check it out and I bet you’ll want to give it a go too.
Using only books you have read this year (2009), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title. It’s a lot harder than you think!
Describe yourself: The Last Queen (C.W. Gortner) heh.
How do you feel: When You Are Engulfed In Flames (David Sedaris). It’s hot here in Texas.
Describe where you currently live: Among the Mad (Jacqueline Winspear)
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? Villa Serena (Domenica De Rosa)
Your favorite form of transportation: Sleepwalking in Daylight (Elizabeth Flock)
Your best friend is: Somebody Else’s Daughter (Elizabeth Brundage)
You and your friends are: Independent People (Halldor Laxness)
What’s the weather like: In A Dry Season (Peter Robinson)
You fear: Sights Unseen (Kaye Gibbons)
What is the best advice you have to give: Hold Love Strong (Matthew Aaron Goodman)
Thought for the day: What It Is (Lynda Barry)
How I would like to die: Reading in Bed (Sue Gee)
My soul’s present condition: The Richest Season (Maryanne McFadden)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

I’ll be looking forward to your list!
Sandy – You should give it a try! I’d love to see what you’d come up with!
Dorothy W. – Being that I love mysteries I had some titles that would probably fit very well but they were kind of scary! haha.. I thought Reading in Bed was the most kind.
Scott – Oh you never know. You should give it a try! At first I thought it was going to be a bit hard but actually it was fun
Dana Huff – Aw, thank you for the award! I love zombie chicken
Isabel – Well, I don’t know if it really refreshed my mind but it was great to get away from some of the heat for a while! Do the meme. I want to see what you come up with!
roxane – it’s fun isn’t it?

August 31st, 2009 at 5:01 pmHow nice that you had a title like REading in Bed to fil in the how you would like to die question!

August 31st, 2009 at 9:38 pmIt’s fun to read everyone’s answers! Did you like the Sue Gee book? I read one of her other novels and loved it–am wondering if her other books are as good!

September 1st, 2009 at 2:51 amDanielle – I liked it ok. I’ve read another of her books which I liked a lot better but I’d still read more by her. It was entertaining but I just had a couple of quibbles with it. I’ll have to post a review of it soon!
It was so fun to do wasn’t it?
Melanie – Ooh, I need to catch up on your blog and see your answers!
