You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Gravity's Rainbow. So I can happily quote Proverbs for Paranoids ("You hide, they seek") and tell my kids goodnight stories about Byron the Bulb, gauchos in the Alps, and explain the difference between Rossini and Beethoven.
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Could be. Among her names, my daughter has both Emma and Miranda.
What are you currently reading?
The Parmenides poem, The Winters Tale.
The last book you bought is:
A guide to the archaological sites on Delos.
The last book you read:
Iron Council by China Meliville.
Five books you would take to a deserted island:
Mason & Dixon by Thomas Pynchon
The Recognitions by William Gaddis
The Tempest (I assume that it's no fair to take a complete works!)
The Venture of Islam by Marshall G.S. Hodgson
Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees: A Life of Contemporary Artist Robert Irwin by Lawrence Wechsler
