Comments on: Book Survey Meme http://heliolith.com/archives/2005/03/19/book-survey-meme/ The easiest way to avoid wrong notes is to never open your mouth and sing.

I'm not going to accept the meme-gauntlet, but we'll see what I can think of on the spot. Hmm, crushes. There have been lots, probably starting with the cookie-cutter Barbies in all of Heinlein's novels. I'm blocking on any candidates in proper Literature, though. Lately all my crushes are on punk divas and bloggers, and I'm not telling who. I don't get the Fahrenheit 451 idea. So I'd want to be burned? I'd rather be a bucket of water. The desert island books would have to be weighty stuff I've never gotten around to reading in real life. The Canterbury Tales in a good dual-language edition, the Quixote in the original, the Iliad and/or Odyssey (in English translation, I'm a wimp), the Spanish equivalent of an OED, and a good grammar of whatever the nearest tropical neighbors speak.
