Which book is least likely to wear underwear on a regular basis?
Gender Trouble by Judith Butler,
as part of a whole signifying-practice-of-subversive-
repetition-to-deregulate-identity
kind of a thing.

Which book is most destined to become your lesbian lover?
Damn! Have you read this? Even if you never realized you had any lesbian fantasies (like you're a gay man so it's hard enough to imagine being a woman, let alone wanting to have sex with another one), pick up Sula by Toni Morrison and I guarantee you'll be moving to Massachusetts where your union will be recognized. You two will live happily ever after with your cats and crewcuts.

Which book would you have been most likely to kick in the balls when you were in grade school together?
Which book would you have the best sex with?
What's that one book that could give you everything you want sexually? That would know where to touch you, when, and for how long? That would know when to kiss you hard, when to make you laugh, when to tease you and when to give in? My money is on the following.
The Book of Repulsive Women by Djuna Barnes
Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda
Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan

If you were a book, which book would you be?
Which book most embodies you? If all books were being destroyed and you had to memorize the one(s) most worth saving, which one(s) would you memorize? Which book do you most wish you could be (even though you aren't clever or pretty or kind enough to be that book)? Here are some of my top candidates.
