I don't know if I should be worried about the fact that I am 'unstructured' or not. Actually, who gives fuck? Or, as an unstructured persons might have it- Fuck, who gives a?

Syntaxically unsound, but hey, I'm a crazy kinda guy! Woo! Who knows what I'll get up to?!

And since I'm keeping this lighter than yesterday's post I'm going to go with a 'meme' (I think that's what the kids are calling them... Hey! I'm cool!) which I stole from my sister's journal over on LJ. I'd tell you where, but she might kill me. For some reason blog-traffic is anathema to her. Even though it's all friends only... blahblahblah... GET ON WITH IT!

On with it I shall get:


1) What are you reading right now?

In the Night Room - Peter Straub, Andromeda - Ivan Yefremov, Swords and Ice Magic - Fritz Leiber, other stuff I can't remember, probably because it's not very good.

2) Longest book you’ve ever read:

Lord of the Rings or maybe Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. Although if LOTR counts then maybe it's the Hitch-hiker's Guide trilogy (in five parts...)

3) Strangest title of a book that you’ve read:

Night of 1000 Rabbits. It wasn't even slightly ironic or amusing!

4) Stupidest ending of a book you’ve read:

The new Harry Potter. Only joking! Um... Catcher in the Rye. Piece of shit that it is.

5) Which literary character have you related to the most?

I really liked Lestat, from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles when I was about 18. Nowadays... I dunno, I tend to get emotionally involved with every book I read. Even if it is crap.

6) Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction?

FICTION!!

7) Did you have a series of children’s/young adult books that you once enjoyed?

Loads of 'em! Roald Dahl, Choose Your Own Adventure (remember those, ooh, they were great...), Grailquest, some Anthony Horowitz (the brothers Diamond mostly), any of Peter Corey's 'Coping with...' series. Can't think of anymore right now, but I read like a fiend. I still love all that stuff too.

8) Can you enjoy reading the source book after seeing the screen adaptation?

Yup.

9) Have you ever read a novelization of a movie or TV show?

Yup. Maebh claimed that I had Star Wars books around, but this is not true. I have the screenplays, but that's different. I've read a bunch of adaptations, most recently the Terrance Dicks Dr. Who novels, cos I can't afford the DVDs!

10) Book that "turned you on" the most, erotically speaking:

Cheeky! I don't know, I don't tend to read porn. Although I do have a copy of The Oyster, which is late 19th century 'erotica', although there is little erotic about it, and it's too funny to be a turn-on really. ("I fingered her soaking quim while she gobbled my pego with abandon." This does not mean that his willy had a band on it, rather that she was enjoying what she was doing.)

11) Is there a real-life person that you’ve read more than one book about?

Does Roald Dahl count? I've read Boy, Going Solo and a biography too.

12) Book that everyone’s read but you:

Dunno. I haven't read lots of things, but then again, I've read many others...

13) Favorite "classic" writer/novelist:

Does H.P. Lovecraft count? Or E. A. Poe would do too.

14) Favorite contemporary novelist (let’s say 1950’s on):

At the minute it's probably Michael Moorcock.

15) Favorite short story writer:

Harlan Ellison, again, that's just right now.

16) Favorite columnist/journalistic writer:

Hunter S. Thompson! (Snorts with derision at such a silly question!)

17) Favorite poet:

I like Keats, although he can be a bit wet. Also quite fond of Ogden Nash.

18) Favorite guilty pleasure book or series:

Everyone knows this, all the sci-fi/fantasy stuff I pick up. I should feel guilty about it, certainly people look at me as if I'm talking about kiddie porn when I mention it, but I don't care. I love it!

Oh, and perhaps Ian Fleming's James Bond series sneaks into this category too. Guilty as charged, m'lud!

19) Favorite book written by a famous actor or musician:

And the Ass Saw the Angel - by Mr. Nicholas Cave, a God in anyone's language. Oh, and Bob's book, Chronicles, was great. Tarantula was not.

20) Author whose work you once enjoyed but no longer do:

Anne Rice. She just got sooooo crap, although I'll always treaure my memories of The Vampire Lestat.

21) Favorite comics/graphic fiction author:

Neil Gaiman. Ask me a harder one!

22) Books you were forced to read in school:

Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain(which I'd already read and loved), a bunch of Shakespeare: Merchant of Venice; Midsummer Night's Dream; Romeo and Juliet; Hamlet; Macbeth; one more which escapes me, Playboy of the Western World - J.M. Synge, Emma - Jane Bloody Austen, The Crock of Gold - James Stephens, Dubliners - James Joyce, Lonliness of the Long-Distance Runner - Alan Sillitoe, Silas Marner - George fucking Eliot, Animal Farm - George Orwell, A Kestrel For A Knave (Kes) - Barry Hines... There are others I can't remember. I ain't been in school for five years, bubba!

23) Which of them you actually liked:

Actually it'll be quicker to say what I didn't like: Emma and Silas Marner. The rest I liked.

24) Which of them you were shown a film adaptation afterwards:

All the Shakepeare, Kes, The Playboy of the Western World (which isn't as exciting as the title suggests. We're talking Christie Mahon here, not Hugh Heffner!)

PHEW!

That was fun actually. I'll have more of those please!

Bye-ah!
