moominmuppetAnswer the First: Obviously, wandered too close to the Lake shore. Tragic, really.
Answer the Second: It'd be a horrible, horrible choice to have to make, but I would choose people over books. The question does remind me of the story about the last man, and the full library, and the broken glasses, though. I don't remember the title (I'm sure someone else here does) but the whole idea horrified me (I can barely read without my glasses; have to cover one eye and hold the book about 2 1/2 inches from my other eye, so it's entirely too easy a scenario to imagine).
Answer the Third: Well, I expect he'd be quite interesting to talk to. At least, it's not an experience I could pass up. I don't know whether that's what one "should" do, but I think it's what I would do.
Answer the Fourth: The Dark Crystal and Naussica (although admittedly it was the hacked 80s american version I made my parents rent week after week). I adored both, and still do.
Answer the Fifth: I'm not so sure I have any one great virtue. More an assortment of fair to good ones, I guess. I'd say generosity and empathy are probably my strongest, although they break down plenty.
Answer the Sixth: I think you'd dig Pomosexuals, Gender Outlaw, and Skin: Talking About Sex, Class And Literature.
Answer the Seventh: See next post.
Answer the Eighth: I don't know whether to blame it on cluelessness, cultural rigidity (and all the accompanying issues of sexism/patriarchy/etc), or just plain bafflement. I often get the sense that Person thinks they've asked a yes or no question, and I've answered "blue" or something.
