survey says

[schmerica]

There are five questions over in musesfool's livejournal, but I like the way callmesandy did it better. Although you should all still go ahead and recommend books to me in the comments.

I'm also cheating and filling this out fannishly and not really the way it says, because if I go back and think of all the characters I love in all the books I've read, I'll get a headache.

1. Name your ten favorite fictional characters of all time and what book, movie, or tv show they came from. (no particular order)

Rupert Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Tara Maclay, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Samuel Vimes, Discworld
Ephram Brown, Everwood
River Tam, Firefly
Lindsay Weir, Freaks and Geeks
GIR, Invader Zim
Samwise Gamgee, Lord of the Rings
Clark Kent, Smallville
Dan Rydell, Sports Night

2. Name five fictional characters that you would like to have an affair with and/or marry, plus the source. You may disregard any pre-existing attachments for these characters. (in order)

Dan Rydell, Sports Night
Clark Kent, Smallville
Lex Luthor, Smallville
Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything...
Wash, Firefly

Is this the one with all the ships?

*adds to reading list anyway*

Yes. There's Jack/Stephen, Jack/Sophie, Jack/Diana, Stephen/Diana (and isn't it weird to get married to somebody your best friend shagged for a while?).

Me <-- LAME

There are the with-sails-and-stuff kind of ships, too, of course.

Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything...

Awww. Lloyd, man. He made is so hard for boyfriends after that ;)

Er. Book recs, huh? I always forget what I've already rec'd you so sorry if I repeat:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
Another Roadside Attraction - Tom Robbins
Jurrasic Park and Sphere - Michael Crichton (so very much better than the movies, technical and interesting but that could just be the science geek in me speaking)
Stones From the River - Ursula Hegi
Oridinary People - Judith Guest

I am lame for taking as long as I did to get the joke, man.

I am wary of people who don't like the 80s John Cusack. They're weird, dude.

*makes notes of books* I'd read the first one and one of the Michael Crichtons, but I trust you and shall add the others.
