featherynscaleI've stolen the High Fidelity game from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lysana. She recommends that if you don't know why this is the High Fidelity meme, that you rent the movie. I, however, love you, and don't want you to have to suffer the pains of John Cusack's asshole neuroticism (unless you like that sort of thing). So I will just tell you. In the film, the record-store employees (of which Mr. Cusack was one) would periodically turn to each other and say, "Okay -- top five side 1, track 1 songs", or "Ok -- top five songs for Laura's dead father" or other things like that. It was really the only fun thing that happened in the film, which was otherwise all about living in your own head and imagining the horrible things people might be doing to you instead of just asking them what they were about. But anyway, I digress. And I really did like the Top 5 game.
So, anyway, ask me about my top five $NOUN.
Assuming that I have an opinion about $NOUN, and am willing to answer, I will tell you what they are.
Be creative.

Re: asketh the book whore :D
Date: 2005-07-23 01:08 pm (UTC)1. Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien (I'm not sure why this should be true, but it must be true, based on number of times I've read the thing.)
2. Maskerade, Terry Pratchett (It's not *serious* fantasy, but hey. That's why I like it.)
3. The Dragonbone Chair, Tad Williams
4. Baudolino, Umberto Eco (I think that's fantasy, but it might be allegory. There are monsters in it.)
5. Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman (OK. There are cars in that.)
