Stuck on a Feeling

Morgan is forcing me to post-- he's stuck me with the meme of the week:

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451; which book do you want to be?

Since Morgan can't be two, I'll take Wittgenstein's Tractatus. If I can't be that one, then the Collected Poems of Gerard Hanley Hopkins.
(I'll confess-- I had to read the Spark Notes to get the meaning of this question, it's been so long since I read Fahrenheit 451.)

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Does Robert Wagner's character in "It Takes a Thief" count?

The last book you bought was:

The Purloined Clinic by Janet Malcolm

The last book you read:

A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami

What are you currently reading?

The Portable Kristeva, ed. Kelly Oliver, Vital Signs, by Charles Shepherdson

Five books you would take to a desert island:

The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky

100 Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The Collected Works of Shakespeare

Remembrance of Things Past, Proust-- (on a desert island is probably the only place I could actually finish it, but I understand it's quite good)

Absalom, Absalom, Faulkner-- see the reason just above....

And I'd sneak a few others in my suitcase-- I wouldn't be needing clothes, anyway, right?

So, most people I know have been stuck already. Perhaps the meme will propagate on its own from here....
