I saw this quiz on Read-Warbler, though it's been all over the blogosphere I believe. Looks fun and quite tricky, so I decided to give it a go... do check out her answers, and maybe follow the blog link trail back to its source.... Oh, and give it a go yourself, of course!
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: Two People (A.A. Milne)
How do you feel: Cloud Nine (Caryl Churchill)
Describe where you currently live: Forever England (Alison Light)
If you could go anywhere, where would you go: The House at Pooh Corner (A.A. Milne)
Your favorite form of transportation: Parnassus on Wheels (Christopher Morley)
Your best friend is: The Entertainer (John Osborne)
You and your friends are: Dreamers (Knut Hamsun)
What's the weather like: Cheerful Weather For The Wedding (Julia Strachey) - and I actually went to a wedding today!
You fear: A Shot in the Dark (Saki)
What is the best advice you have to give: Say Please (Virginia Graham) - I was so tempted to choose 'Put Out More Flags (Evelyn Waugh)'
Thought for the day: It's Hard To Be Hip Over Thirty (Judith Viorst) - I'm finding it quite tricky *under* thirty...
How I would like to die: Tea and Tranquilisers (Dianne Harpwood) - not really! But it is an amusing title match.
My soul's present condition: Saved (Edward Bond)
I had so much fun doing this meme that it probably indicates I need to get out more! Enjoyed your answers.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrific!
ReplyDeleteThese are so entertaining to read. Two People is such a perfect choice for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun, isn't it? Thank goodness we are doing it quite far on into the year so we have plenty of titles to call upon.
ReplyDeleteClever! That would be a difficult one.
ReplyDeleteThanks - this was fun! Mine is at http://joyeuce.livejournal.com/32836.html if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea which books I've read in 2009 and which were last year, otherwise this would have been fun.
ReplyDelete- at last a use for your careful catalogue system? :oP
That's a whole different thing, Mel! Do you not keep a list of the books you read? Weird.
ReplyDelete;-)
call me a nutcase, but no.
