Last two questions for April!

[livejournal.com profile] coco_waters asked Which book(s) have you re-read the most? (or if you don’t like to re-read books, do you have a particular reason not to?)

The only books I've re-read are Jurassic Park and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Both of them were the books that got me back into reading after a long break as a kid. I also had them both as audiobooks so I read them and then listened to them over and over. I have huge chunks of them memorized. LOL. Now I have TOO MANY BOOKS so there is not time to re-read!!!

[livejournal.com profile] thekaiserchief asked What fictional universe would you love to live in and which universe would you not want to live in?

I know I would NOT want to live in Westeros or Panem. I would be the first to die LOL. As for one I would *want* to live in...hm...I am not sure, there are not many fictional universes that don't end up having some evil plot twist to them that would scare me away! Maybe a universe where the Muppets really are just part of the world...though this feels close to Roger Rabbit and toon town and we know there would be Muppets rights issues and such.

Westeros would be dangerous to live in, for sure. And I'd only live in Panem if I could live in the Capitol, to be honest. :p

On the other hand, Equestria doesn't seem like a bad place to live.

OH I WANT TO BE A PONY! I would totally live in Equestria! :D

LOL at your answer about Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Muppets rights issues. Very practical thinking. :)

Thank you. I blame the internet for making me look at how unfair everything is ALL THE TIME! haha.

I'm all for a Muppets world! :)

I really enjoyed Jurassic Park. I actually read it after I'd seen the movie and I was surprised how different it was. I really must read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy though.

I think a 100% Muppets world would be very nice. Oh man, I should have said I wanted to live in Fraggle Rock! Now that would have been awesome. I'm so much better at answering these questions in comments.

Lost World is also a gazillion times better than the movie. And everyone should read Hitchhiker's Guide :)

Fraggle Rock is one of the greatest TV shows ever!

SO TRUE! I'm glad that it's up on Hulu and is getting rerun on TV so a new generation can appreciate its awesome.

First question only (for right now; have to think about the second for awhile):

I think I've read The Maltese Falcon and Slaughterhouse-Five three times each. (And we're doing Slaughterhouse-Five for the Guys Book Club in December, so there's another read!)

I've only read Stephen King's On Writing once, but I listen to the audiobook (read by King) at least once every two years, so I've probably read/listened to it five or six times.

Oh, I've probably listened to On Writing a couple times, now that you mention it!

I will read Slaughterhouse-Five someday! It's on the to-read list...someday...
