13. The fictional character you want to believe you resemble and the fictional character you actually resemble GOSH... I want to believe I resemble probably every intrepid adventurer ever, basically. Rey and Rowan come to mind at the moment, but there've been a long string of them. Fictional character I most actually resemble is Codi in Animal Dreams, by Barbara Kingsolver (which is up there on my list of favorite books ever and still makes me cry on re-reads).
14. The book that, in hindsight, really should have clued you in to the fact that you’re _________ (queer/in love/doomed to be an academic/etc)
Okay just for fun: My favorite book as a 5-year-old was Trucks, by Gail Gibbons. Which definitely was a clue on the engineering degree :D. Runners up were everything else by Gail Gibbons (she wrote like, science books for tiny munchkins) and Richard Scarry. I've been a nerd since FOREVER, guys.
16. The book that you don’t dare reread for fear it won’t be the same any more
ooooh huh. I don't know that I have one, actually. I reread my faves a LOT, so anything I didn't want to reread wouldn't really be memorable. Like, there's plenty of books I don't want to reread, but it's because they weren't that good, which isn't really the point. Otherwise, there's some books that maybe wouldn't mean as much now as they did when I first read them, but that's okay, that's just growing up. Things like, idk, Little Women or the Secret Garden or stuff like that maybe fall in that category.
23. The book you expected to hate, didn’t, and then got angry about not hating
Ha well actually Hunger Games is probably the best fit to that one...although it was more like...expected to be bored, liked but also WTF WHY ENDING, got angry about CARING. And then fanfic happened and I met you lovely people, so it all worked out for the best.
27. The book you’re embarrassed to admit you’ve read
Oh man, I read so much crap in Peace Corps just because I didn't have alternative entertainment. (I had a list of everything I read at some point, but it was on paper so lost forever and man, I don't remember hardly any of it. My memory is terrible.) I can't think of anything I'm actually embarrassed about reading though, I own my poor choices.
