Scruffy Six Three

We are back with another exciting edition of the scruffy six!

This weeks questions concern one of the biggest loves of my life, books! I like to read books, but I am not very good at that. What I am good at though is buying books and then not reading them. Anyway...

The Scruffy Six Three
1. What did you think of The River Why?
2. If you haven't read it: How do you sleep at night knowing that you haven't read this book?
3. Who is your favorite female character from a book?
4. Who is your favorite male character from a book?
5. What is your favorite novel?
6. Who is your favorite author?

1. See question 5.
2. n/a
3. "Eddy, Eddy, Eddy, Eddy..." From The River Why or Hernione Granger from *gasp* the Harry Potter series.
4. That is a toughie but maybe Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of The Rings.
5. A favorite is always hard to think of but I often times say The River Why.
6. I don't really know, but I am very big fan of Edward Abbey's stuff.

1. You don't want to hear it... I liked most of it a lot, but the ending was a disappointment.
2. Hey, what are you doing watching me sleep anyway?
3. Hmm... I'm not sure. Maybe Franny from Franny and Zooey, though it might be Clara from The House of the Spirits.
4. Well, if I went with Franny, I might go with Zooey, even though he's a jerk. The narrator of The Great Gatsby is awesome, though. I think, in the end, the only choice is the narrator of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. I love that guy!
5. It changes every few days, but has been (shockingly) Franny and Zooey for a good while now. I'm also a pretty big fan of The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide, and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting was just plain cool.
6. If I say J.D. Salinger, it'll be four in a row, but Douglas Adams is great, and then there are people like George Orwell and Mark Twain who just rock, no matter what they write about.

Mark Twain does indeed rock.

1. I don't think I've read it.
2. I think I've gotten less than five hours of sleep the last three or four nights in a row, maybe this is why.
I don't remember the last book I read, I'm pretty sure any book that's any good has already been made into a movie. So, for 3-5 I'll pretend you said "movie" rather than "book" or "novel".
3. Samus Aran probably. Even though that's a video game, not a movie, certainly not a book.
4. Doc Holiday from Tombstone was pretty cool. So was Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean.
5. I don't know. Jurassic Park is the only book I can remember reading. Oh, and I read the Grapes of Wrath, and Mice and Men. Of Mice and Men was good because it was like 100 pages.
6. Dunno.
I don't like these questions much.

1. It was pretty good, but I never quite got around to finishing it.
2. Ummm... it's not that hard.
3-6. Sadly, I don't like to read...

Why am I the only person who can log in?

See now this is aggrivating. It appears to not be setting cookies. But this doesn't make any sense because I haven't made any changes to the website recently. Oy! This is so aggrivating.

Yeah I am an idiot, I was playing around with my ftp client and to test some stuff I uploaded the one file that was different for my local server and this site. Which made it so it didn't set cookies correctly.

1. I haven't read it. Whoops.
2. I sleep on a bed of twenty dollar bills. You'd be surprised how easy that makes it.
I can log in.
3. Shit, I don't know.
4. Yossarian and R.P. McMurphy
5. Sometimes a Great Notion, at the moment. Maybe Catch-22.
6. Let's go with Robert Caro. Or Kesey. Of HST. Or Tom Wolfe. Bah.

Sence books are stupid and I watch tons of movies, I will answer these questions having just watched a very exelent movie Scent of a Woman.
1. Yes I have seen Scent of a Woman.
2. Sleeping is a waste of time
3. Lola from Run Lola Run or Vikki from the Waterboy
4. The Dude or Ash from The Evil dead trilogy
5. A tie between Pulp Fiction and Citizen Kane
6. Quentin Tarantino

I don't know if that was meant to be funny, but it was.

Apparently, nobody reads anything anymore. Furthermore, what's a... movie?
The Fool

11 March 2004 09:57pm UTC
Furthermore, I agree... Yossarian is quite possibly the coolest man ever.
Oh my!

1.The River Why was a simply stunning book.
2.On that note, I sleep quite comfortably at night.
3.Madame De Warrens, from The Confessions by Rousseau, she is just the epitomy(sp?) of sexual desire!
4.Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, he is just too cool, maybe even too proud?
5.why, The River Why, of course, but I also like David James Duncan a lot, like the Brothers K.
6.David James Duncan, Ken Kesey as well, oh and Edward Abbey I am sure there are many others, but I can't think of them right now. I do have to admit, I am a sucker for Jane Austen, her writing style is amazing for the time period she wrote in, plus, her novels are some of the first novels ever written.
