Tim Blair sez Tag, I'm It in the wacky new blogosphere party game, which I guess is supposed to be like online Match Game '77 for book dorks. I usually don't go in for this sort of thing, but I figured there might be some Turtle Wax as a parting gift.
You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Is that the old movie where the bad guys force everybody to memorize a book? If so, then I want one of these jobbies. Imagine the look on the bad guys' faces: "Guess what dude? I did memorize it. Psyche!"
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Oh sure, like I'm gonna answer your sick questions. Next thing, the whole blogosphere will start teasing, "Annie and Iowahawk sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." What I and my fictional characters do in the privacy of the Chevron bathroom is none of your business.
The last book you bought is:
April issue of Deals on Wheels
The last book you read:
You mean like, "That horrid irredeemable piece of crap is the last book I would read"? If so, then probably "Bridges of Madison County."

I like your deserted island choices. Maybe you would also have room to slip in: "Creating handbags and lampshades from Jeff Probst." You know. Just in case.

If I were to have a crush on a fictitious character (and were I not already married) It would definately be Robert Heinline's Friday. A hottie, and a total butt kicker.
