Hi, Formerly-Known-As-Girl! (Sorry, but my mind's been poisoned by The Matrix, and I can't call you Trinity)
Been meaning to write to you for ages with warmest congratulations (not to mention Squees) on your getting the place at TCD. You will have a fabulous time. Anyway, I can only procrastinate for so long, here, so I'll cut to the quiz:
10) To The Lighthouse, aka Best. Book. Ever. (How can this not have been crossed off the list yet?)
6) is bugging me. East of Eden? Gotta be Steinbeck, shurely?
5) Is also bugging me. So if it sounds familiar, then it probably isn't Philip Roth's The Plot Against America, right? Cos I haven't read that one.
2) Is really bugging me. It seems horribly familiar, but I can't place it. Of course, perhaps it's actually from something I've never heard of (like Neverwhere. What that?).
Finally, Kudos for dissing Return of the King! I re-read the whole trilogy (for the first time in a decade) before the movies came out, and was struck by what I had overlooked as a teenager: a) The Fellowship of the Ring is really very good; and b) The Return of the King is really very bad.
I exist!
