Rand passed this to me. He knows I don't usually do this sort of thing but I owe him for the last time I inflicted something similar on him.

Plus I can't say no to Rand. :-)

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

I've opted to skip this one since it seems to overlap with a later question.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

No.

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?

Anyone who is interested in doing this meme is free to do it. Most of the friends whose answers I'd be especially interested in reading don't usually do memes, and I felt guilty enough last time. :-)
