A Literary Life


Using only books you have read this year (2009), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title.

I saw this list in a couple of blogs and couldn't resist trying it out myself. And it certainly isn't as easy as it seems, but fun, nevertheless. And it also makes me go " It's September! Is this all that I've managed to read this year??"

Describe yourself: The Argumentative Indian ( Amartya Sen )

How do you feel: If You Could See Me Now ( Cecelia Ahern )

Describe where you currently live: The Well of Lost Plots ( Jasper Fforde )

If you could go anywhere, where would you go: Kashmir: Behind the Vale (M.J. Akbar )

Your favorite form of transportation: Paths of Glory ( Jeffrey Archer )

Your best friend is: Rosie Dunne ( Cecelia Ahern )

You and your friends are: Blood Brothers (Nora Roberts )

What's the weather like: Something Rotten ( Jasper Fforde )

You fear: The White Tiger ( Aravind Adiga )

What is the best advice you have to give: Eat, Pray, Love ( Elizabeth Gilbert )

Thought for the day: The Tenderness of Wolves (Stef Penney)

How I would like to die: First Among Sequels (Jasper Fforde)

My soul's present condition: The Gift (Cecelia Ahern)

P.S I've written this list excluding books I've re-read during this year.

    Paperbackreader- Thank you! And I agree- Fforde's titles are just as creative as his books, which is saying something :)
