Prawn cocktail, anyone?

Wed, 20 May 2009 18:02:06 GMT

I never considered Balham Leisure Centre's sauna suite as the ideal location for a picnic, but apparently some people do.

Still, once they'd finished their self-assembled prawn cocktails, at least the lemons made the steam room smell of lemon cake ...

*note to self: bake lemon cake soon!*

Books meme swiped from OJ on Facebook

1. What author do you own the most books by?
Douglas Coupland. He rocks my world.

2. What book do you own the most copies of?
I don't *think* we have any duplicates. If we do, it's Shakespeare.

3. What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
Atticus Finch, of course.

4. What book have you read more than any other?
Lord of the Rings /cliche

5. What was your favorite book when you were ten years old?
Possibly Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey. Possibly Hidden in a Dream by Monica Edwards.

6. What is the worst book you've read in the past year?
If I don't like a book I stop reading. It was some rubbish claiming to be about teaching girls to be empowered women, but was actually just about being bitchy.

7.What is the best book you've read in the past year?
Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. One of those books that you can't believe has only just been written, because it feels so very part of you.

8. If you could tell everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be?
Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. It's so very human, so filled with anger and compassion.

9. What is the most difficult book you've ever read?
Some of my hardcore sci-fi gets pretty heavy going. But it's generally worth it.

10. Do you prefer the French or the Russians?
French.

11. Shakespeare, Milton or Chaucer?
I'd marry Shakespeare and steal kisses with the other two.

12. Austen or Eliot?
Austen. She's a riot.

13. What is the biggest or most embarrassing gap in your reading?
The Russians

14. What is your favorite novel?
*brain melt*

15. Play?
Anything by Shakespeare that's packed with death and tragedy.

16. Poem?
Betjeman - In a Bath Tea Shop.

17. Essay?
Swift's one on surplus children.

18. Short Story?
I do love Oscar Wilde and DH Lawrence's short stories.

19. Non Fiction?
Shakey, the Neil Young biog, is rich and wonderful.

20. Graphic Novel?
SANDMAN *squee*

21. Science Fiction?
Vonnegut *crush*

22. Who is your favorite writer?
Shakespeare. He sets my mind on fire.

23. Who is the most over-rated writer alive today?
I'd agree with OJ that it's probably Martin Amis, though Will Self isn't all that either.

24. What are you reading right now?
Clay Shirky's "Here comes everybody" (nf); Gerard Jones' "Men of Tomorrow" (nf); Kathy Reichs' "Devil Bones" *shame* (f); Urban Dictionary (ref); the AP Style Guide (ref); Kingsley Amis' "The King's English" (nf/ref)
