Friday Fiver - This Old Thing
These questions were written by Florianschild. Play along at thefridayfive!
1) What is the oldest thing you own?
Either my grandparents' dresser, which I still use (age unknown) or my antique copies of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights from 1945.
2) What is the oldest home you've lived in?
Probably the house we lived in when I was born, which my parents moved into when my brother was little, which was the early 1970s. Exact age unknown.
3) What is the oldest book you've read?
Old as in when it was written or printed? The Bible? Whichever novel Jane Austen wrote first? Just remembered, I've read some Shakespeare, which is older than Austen. My oldest physical books are the ones mentioned above, but I have not read those copies.
4) What is the oldest electronic device that you still use?
I've got my boombox from 1994ish, but last time I tried to play a CD on it, it wasn't working well. So I'll have to go with my dvd player from approx. 2007. Or my alarm clock from 2005.
5) What is the oldest work of art/architecture that you've seen?
My guess would be the Roman Forum in Italy. In North America, probably the Walnut Canyon cliff dwellings or Wupatki structures near Flagstaff, AZ.
