    I don't know anything about booker, but I read (or tried to read) a book this past year that was a finalist for the Pulitzer, the accidental tourist by anne tyler. it was one of the worst books id ever read and I lost a lot of respect for the award. i'll go with booker then by default.

    reading a book in your favorite couch/chair or reading a book outside in the sun sitting with your back against a tree?

    I get too distracted to read outside so I prefer reading on the couch.

    Shoes or bare feet

    Bare feet unless shoes are absolutely necessary.

    Laces or loafers?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Sherlock holmes, but I love james bond and id enjoy some author writing a book that somehow brought the two of them together.

    the first Dumbledore (for two movies I think) or the second Dumbledore (for all the rest)?

    I watched the originals as a kid, but was more a "Cathy man," even then. Still, as they used to say, "What a crazy pair!" ;-)

    The only Dumbledown I have saw was in the first movie, during which I fell into a deep and magical sleep, so I'm inclined to give it to the second one.

    Professor Moriarty or Max Ernst Blofeld?

    I like both holmes and bond, so tough choice. i'll go with moriarty because he earned so much of holmes' respect, which is huge. my major criticism of both moriarty and blofeld is they were too behind the scenes so to speak. I liked the moriarty in the second Robert downey jr holmes movie---even though the title was game of shadows (if I remember that rightly), moriarty was more "out there."

    Robert downey jr as sherlock holmes, or as tony stark/iron man?

    I like that they are both so shadowy. It makes them creepy psychological villains rather than action hero bad guys (or in the case of Blofeld, more than just an action hero bad guy).

    I have never seen Robert Downy as Sherlock Holmes, though, and don't even know who Iron Man is, so I'll let someone else answer that.

    I will go with Iron Man I enjoyed the Sherlock movie but I was annoyed that they did try and make him sexier than he was. I think he fit the Tony Stark role better.

    Zombie apocalypse or Robot take over

    Slow zombies, in both situations I might just off myself though.

    Cats, turtles, dogs, snakes, birds, lizards or frogs/toads as pets? (no fish)
