Book Meme - Days 13 and 14

[alcesverdes]

Day 13 – Favorite childhood book OR current favorite YA book (or both!)

I'm going to go with a) this time. As a child, I do remember being quite smitten with:

The Call of the Wild

I did read it several times, and I hereby formally accuse Jack London for my undying, never-fading love for dogs. Also, from what I remember from that novel and what I've observed in the behavior or my own dogs, his descriptions are quite accurate. /nostalgia googles off.

Also, because it's an unfair and cruel question, I'm going to cheat again: I was a big Jules Verne fan as a pre-teen, so most of his work goes here too. And let's no forget Nils Holgersson nor Tom Sawyer nor... Well, you get the picture. :p


Day 14 – Favorite character in a book (of any sex or gender)

...why.

I mean, I love so many characters so much and it's so hard to decide on just one. D: I mean, I could say Samwise Gamgee because I already answered with him a few entries ago, but where would that leave Bastian or Momo? Or that lovable drunkard clown Jojo? Or the several incarnations of King Arthur and Robin Hood? Or even Karrin Murphy and that stupid wizard Harry Dresden? Or the blue stone in Jimmy Liao's picture book? And what about Don Quijote and the little prince and his rose and his fox?

I officially hate this question. :|
