No (and there are no ghosts, either )
Have you ever eaten snake?
No.
(Would have been interesting, though)
Which 5 books would you take with you on a deserted island?
It's actually tasteless--like my sense of humor.
Well, probably the Dostoyevsky novels we were discussing because they were meant to be read over and over, and since there is always something new to learn from them. For the fifth one, it's a cliche (but then so is the question), but probably Tolstoy's War and Peace for the same reasons.

Its/it's. I know the difference, but the corrective/predictive artificial stupidity (AS) on my IPad doesn't.
And your question is ... ?
Hmmm, that's a challenging one. Okay, if you could have dinner with anyone from all history, what would you order for desert?
Ice cream, probably.
Which 10 books would you take with you on a deserted Island?
Well, the old joke answer is that you would only need one: Elementary Shipbuilding. But okay, in addition to the five novels I mentioned earlier, I would take Journey to the West, the Bible, Tom Jones, Vanity Fair, and (if it's not cheating) the Complete Works of Shakespeare. But no Dickens. He's great but way too judgmental to take to a deserted island. I'd hang myself from the coconut tree on the first day.
Would you rather read a Stephen King novel or be eaten by a bear?
Well, I would hope reading the Stephen King novel was less damaging.
Which are your 10 favourite orchestral works in Classical music?
