I did this meme on my birthday last year and since it’s been revamped for 2010, I thought I might do it this day each year it’s around. Basically, you just complete the sentence with a title of a book you’ve read during the current year. Here’s this year’s story/summary of my life (although I’m cheating a bit by using the title of the book I’m currently reading):
In high school I was: Looking for the Summer (Robert W. Norris)
People might be surprised I’m: Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So (Mark Vonnegut)
I will never be: The Twin (Gerbrand Bakker)
My fantasy job is: God’s Brain (Lionel Tiger and Michael McGuire)
At the end of a long day I need: Freedom, Jonathan Franzen
I hate it when: I Curse the River of Time (Per Petterson)
Wish I had: Too Much Happiness (Alice Munro)
My family reunions are: Strange Days Indeed (Francis Wheen)
At a party you’d find me with: The Imperfectionists (Tom Rachman)
I’ve never been to: Point Omega (Don DeLillo)
A happy day includes: Freedom
Motto I live by: Nothing to Envy (Barbara Demick)
On my bucket list: Packing for Mars (Mary Roach)
In my next life, I want to be: God’s Brain
Any moment called now is always full of possibles.
