Game: This or That

[mono]

I have to hand it to Hitler - a shame he used his genius for no-good.

J.D. Salinger or William Golding?

[NikolaiI]

Eh... I am not that well read.

My signtarue quote's author, or the author of Ana Karenina?

Wait did W. Golding write Lord of the Flies? In that case, the devil I know...

[Chava]

Oh bugger I've been caught! I haven't read JD. (Fault to be ammended) Of Golding's, I have one or two, but only ever read Lord of the Flies, which, to be fair, kept me up all night so that I feel asleep in a 6th grade math test...

Beautiful writing, or exciting plot?

[NikolaiI]

Oh... you make such a challenging decision! I can't decide truly, it needs both. ;)

[bouquin]

beautiful writing.


Nathaniel Hawthorne or Edgar Allan Poe?

[PoeticPassions]

hmmm... I think I will go with Poe... I do love his short stories.

Being kissed passionately but for a short time, or kissing softly for a long time?

[sprinks]

kissing softly for a long time, because that in itself requires another type of passion :)

[Chava]

On toast;

Chocolate spread, or jam

[mono]

Jam - I consider myself a bit more of a fruity guy than a chocolately guy. :D

The Simpsons or Family Guy? ;)

[Chava]

I'm going to have to go with simpsons, but really they are funny in different ways. And I will certainly watch family guy if it happens to be on when I'm channel browsing..

TV, or radio?

[mono]

Definitely radio.

My current dilemma: pay too much money for a Verizon PC card for laptop Internet, which shorts out often, but has the option of traveling to areas of no Wi-Fi -- or -- pay way less money for faster Internet available only at home?

[Chava]

Funny I was just thinking about Internet dilemmas and my next question would have been "Internet that's dodgy and falls out, or no internet at all". I would go for internet at home. But then here, there's a million places to connect, most cafe's have wireless, even the trains and busses.

Warm but rainy weather, or cold and sunshine

[mono]

Cold and sunshine. I love nicer weather, but also love getting bundled up in warm layers of clothing.

[Chava]

Bright reading lights, but other than that, just dim lights. (my vision is too poor to read by dim light... in fact that's why it is poor at all)

rather be bitten by a warewolf or bitten by a vampire??

[Oniw17]

It really depends on who's version of a vampire and werewolf you're talking about. If it's a flying vampire, I want to be bit by that thing, but if not, being quadriped durring full moons(and possibly at will depending on what storyline you go by) has distinct advantages. Then again if one if one lives forever and the other doesn't, I want to be bit by the one that lives forever. If being bit by either won't turn me into a similar individual, then I'd say vampire, it seems like the bite would hurt less.

Neither. I will have grapes.

[*Classic*Charm*]

Shakespeare, because I love his works, and also because I haven't read Chaucer yet.

Dante or Virgil?

[*Classic*Charm*]

Foreign authors or authors from home?

[mono]

It depends more on the author than where s/he comes from, but I read more foreign than American literature.

[The Comedian]

William James, for sure. I love reading his stuff.

Classic pen and Paper D&D or Computer Role playing games?

[Chava]

HAHA, but what if I do both..? Well, the first is more sociable, but inconvenient since it's hard to gather people, and the second you can incorporate people from all over the world! Right, I can't decide..

For writing;
Paper with lines, or blank paper?

[mono]

Paper with lines, otherwise I would practically write diagnally.

A room with a view -- or -- a room with lots of nice pictures?

[Chava]

I like these questions about funny-looking qualities:
