Help, I've been Memed

My brother has passed on to me the oh-so-infamous Farenheit 451 meme. You can read all about its history at Jim's site. You are stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. What book would you be? As my brother points out, it's rather a strange question at first glance. I'll not repeat his explanation (since you should have already read his post). Though I'm tempted to choose The Everlasting Man (just because walking around being called "The Everlasting Man" would be kind of fun), I am impelled to choose Chesterton's other masterpiece Orthodoxy, the book that revealed the overwhelmingly beautiful truths of Christianity. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Not that I can remember, though Beatrice in Dante's Paradisio almost did it for me, I think. I can't tell if it was her or the poetry. I think the poetry. What was the last book you bought? You'd think from the above titles it would be something as snobbish as Milton or as esoteric as Eliot. You would think. You'd be wrong. It was How I Trade Options, by Jon Najarian. What are you currently reading? For my Academy classes, I am reading LOTR. I'm currently half way through (at the beginning of book four). It needs no explanation, but I will say I have been particularly struck by Tolkien's use of Providence to move his plot and the forces of good along. For my business interests, I'm digesting Najarian's book (above). Options seem to be a good investing vehicle for people with little capital and low risk thresholds like me. For my marriage prep, I'm reading through Passionate Marriage. I highly recommend it, though I'm only 3 chapters in. Of course, this week is also Plato week for me, if that counts. I'll be spending long hours ruminating on love, rhetoric, and relationships with Dr. Al Geier and Plato's Phaedrus. What five books would you take to a deserted island? I'll take "book" to mean either "bound pages" or "an intentionally unified work" (as in the last choice). That said, I'd take my UBS 4th edition, and for the others I'd (begrudgingly!) limit myself to Plato's complete works (the height of Greek thought), Dante' Divine Comedy (the height of Medieval thought), my Riverside Shakespeare (the height of Renaissance thought), and Barth's Church Dogmatics (the height of Modern thought) . Whom are you going to pass this book meme to and why? Jonathan, though my hunch is he'll spurn it. Update: Reverse psychology works. Jonathan took my challenge, broken link and all, and proved himself sufficiently more nerdy than me.
