I picked this up a few minutes ago from Of Books and Bicycles. The speed of the internets! I believe I was tagged on FB, but am doing it here instead.
Using only books you have read this year (2009) answer the questions, without repeating a book title. I think the answers would change very much depending on mood.
Describe yourself: Provincial Lady Goes Further (E. M. Delafield)
How do you feel: Seven Types of Ambiguity (Elliot Perlman)
Describe where you currently live: We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Shirley Jackson)
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? A House in the Country (Jocelyn Playfair)
Your favorite form of transportation: Thames: The Biography (Peter Ackroyd)
Your best friend is: Frederica (Georgette Heyer)
You and your friends are: Excellent Women (Barbara Pym)
What’s the weather like: The Rain Before it Falls (Jonathon Coe)
You fear: Headhunters (Peter Lovesey)
What is the best advice you have to give: To Love and Be Wise (Josephine Tey)
Thought for the day: Why Shoot the Butler? (Georgette Heyer)
How I would like to die: Disco for the Departed (Colin Cotterill)
My soul’s present condition: Light and Darkness (John Harvey)
If I had read Excellent Women, I would have used that one instead of The Odd Women for “you and your friends” — sorry!
Your book titles fit the questions so perfectly!
I’m going to try this too.
Dorothy – I liked The Odd Women as an answer!
I’m afraid that when I finally get around to doing this one I’m going to find no appropriate book titles for the categories. We’ll see. I love where you live now, as well as how you’d like to die.
Emily – Part of the fun is fitting the book titles into the categories as best you can.
