Interests meme

[nwhyte]

From stellanova and subsequently daegaer:

Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have fewer than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone

Northern Lights is my favorite book. Well, it's closely tied with Tom Sawyer. But His Dark Materials absolutely blew me away.

Yes, we umrats[1] get EVERYWHERE.

Tolkien - surely there can't be anyone reading this who hasn't read The Lord of the Rings and seen the films? What more can be said, really?

Er, overrated? (prepares to duck)

Well, I think you can swap your Tolkien for minny's Pullman!

In particular, we young irreverent types decided that Father Jack was exactly like Conor Cruise O'Brien, an ancient Irish politician who was attending the talks as a representative of one of the smaller Unionist groups.

Fair enough. A bloke shouting 'drink, feck, girls, arse!' repeatedly would be worth slightly more than O'Brien's written output of the last two decades or so.

Hmm...

I really must read Pullman...people have been telling me to read that trilogy since I lived in Canada!

I read Northern Lights because so many people said I should read it, but I think it was overhyped, I didn't think it was anything special.

Well, I think you can swap your Pullman for burkesworks' Tolkien!
