I reorganized my bookmooch account (canceled one, opened another, put some books up for mooch that I likely won't be rereading), did more research for SakuraCon hotels, bought text books and now am organizing my checkbook.

Thus, meme.

1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series'.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.

Some of these - most of these - I will be quite impressed if people guess correctly.

[ETA: sorry about the lack of cut. It vanished when I edited this post, and I'm afraid to fuck with the formatting more.]

So, my mom and I are giving Gargoyles a rewatch. It's almost as good as Avatar in the made-for-children, good-enough-for-adults way and I remember an insane amount of detail from when I first watched it at eight. Like, I remember specific scenes in great detail. It's really fun watching it with my mother, who has quite the eye for little details. "Why doesn't he just through that guy off the castle? Why do all the bad guys keep missing when they shoot?" Me: "Children's cartoon mom, children's cartoon.

Also, from this week's fannish5 :

Name your favorite character's five favorite books.

I picked Hatake Kakashi, because he was the easiest of my favorite characters to come up with favorite books for. I would do Sumire, but I don't know enough of Japanese literature and pop culture to do her justice.

5.) Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence

4.) The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

3.) That really good book about the Vietnam triage nurse that I read at least five times but can't remember the exact title and amazon is being unhelpful.

2.) Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie

1.) Icha Icha Tactics by Jiriaya

Dishonorable mention: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. This was the most terrifying book Kakashi has ever read and made him beyond grateful that Sasuke never loved Sakura back, that Sakura went to the Fifth for training and that none of them lived in Rain country.
