I just started participating in this weekly blog hop and really enjoy it. Crazy for Books hosts it so check it out! Here's today's question:
“What’s the LONGEST book you’ve ever read?”
(Note: I’m putting one caveat on this question. You aren’t allowed to say the Bible, Torah, Qur’an, or other religious/spiritual text.)
That's a tough one. I'm pretty sure it was something I read in school - Gone with the Wind at 960 pages. There are others - like Dante's Inferno that seemed to last forever but I don't think it was truly as long.
What about you?
Here's today's question:
Q. If you could write yourself a part in a book, what book would it be and what role would you play in that book?
Fun question. I'd probably write myself in The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende. I wouldn't want to experience all the tragedy of the story but I'd love to sit down and talk to Clara to understand how she experiences both the real and spirit worlds.
I haven't read that one. Have a great weekend!

Most people would guess I’d write myself in the role of a hero in a fictional adventure of some kind. But that would be only partially correct. As is my norm, I throw a curve ball in my answer that makes perfect sense one you follow my logic. Follow me back to my blog at http://www.howardsherman.net and follow along the logic with me!

Great answer! I love The Housse of the Spirits. Isabel Allende is a fantastic storyteller.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. That is so true that some assigned books *feel* like they're the longest thing I've ever read (regardless of page count) :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
I own my grandmothers copy of Gone With The Wind when it was first published.
