~*~Reader of the Fortnight - suuunshiine! - Page 4

I did a Google search and came up with these very interesting questions and I thought they just had to be asked.

So enjoy answering!!!

-What do you value most in life?

2-Do believe that people are inherently good or bad?

3-What is your greatest regret?

4-What do you see as your greatest achievement?

5-How do you deal with someone you don't like?

6-What do you feel you are entitled to in life?

7-What's your favourite song?

8-What are your feelings regarding God?

9-How do you personally define "Right" from "Wrong"?

10. You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon.

Which option do you select?

11. Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don't kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't tell them why.

Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack?


12. For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from your actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as "brutally honest and relentlessly fair." Meanwhile, Columbia Tri-Star has produced a big-budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it.

Which film would you be most interested in seeing?

13. You are sitting in an empty bar (in a town you've never before visited), drinking Bacardi with a soft-spoken acquaintance you barely know. After an hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask your acquaintance who the new man is. "Be careful of that guy," you are told. "He is a man with a past." A few minutes later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. "Be careful of that guy, too," he says. "He is a man with no past."

Which of these two people do you trust less?

14. You have a brain tumor. Though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is that there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will still be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts or difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks.

How do you spend the next fourteen days?

15. For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can't talk and they can't write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves).

This being the case, do you think the average cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature?

16.  Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks--he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can't learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he's doing these five tricks with real magic. It's not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny out of the ether and he can move the coin through space. He's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence.

Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein?

17.  What is your favorite color?

Ahaaa, I had been wanting to get back here and ask some more questions and lo behold , you are just as eager to answer some more - isnt that wonderful?! Well so here you go -

1.  If you could be a part of the book award jury , which prize jury would you like to be a part of  - Nobel, booker prize , orange ...??!! and why?!  Which one and you may choose only one!!!

2. If you do become a part of the jury - what would be your personal criteria for adjuding a book as best or worthy of a prize - what would be the parameters?

Have fun and meanwhile, I'll sip coffee and dish out some more questions for ya! 😆

Nobel because they tend to have a powerful message and cause.

2. If you do become a part of the jury - what would be your personal criteria for adjuding a book as best or worthy of a prize - what would be the parameters?
if people who do not like the genre will like it, it appeals to humanity instead of being a cult book, how it's written, ending and storyline, the climax is delivered well,nice cover lol,  and just the overall greatness of the book.
Have fun and meanwhile, I'll sip coffee and dish out some more questions for ya! 😆
