Follow Friday Once Again

Here we are at Friday once again. How quickly the weeks seem to go by! Time to participate in the Follow Friday festivities, hosted by Parajunkee's View at her new website and Alison Can Read. This week their feature bloggers are Confuzzled Books and Life Between Pages. Check these blogs out; they're delightful.

This week's fun question: If you could have characters from a particular book meet and form an epic storyline with characters from a particular TV series, which would you choose, and why?

This is a tough question, because characters sets are usually pretty complete and it would be a challenge to splice them together, but two characters from a book instantly spring to mind. Young bloggers may not have had a chance to read the early novels of Samuel R. Delany, but I'd choose Katin and The Mouse from Nova, and I'd have them wander onto the set of the next Joss Whedon edition of Firefly. Katin's intellect and The Mouse's gutter sense and the "music" he creates on his sensory syrynx would lend a fascinating dimension to a new epic quest of the Serenity.

Enjoy your Friday, everyone.

    See.... Now you've done it. I love firefly, but bashfully admit am not familiar with Nova. Now I'm going to have to go read that and I have no time. This is not fair I say, NOT FAIR!!

    Hippies, Beauty, and Books. Oh My!

    I'm not familiar with Nova, but I absolutely love Firefly. I was so sad that it got cancelled!

    Mepis and Penguin, I know it's hard when another great book pops up and there's no time to read it, but believe me, you'll love it. Jessica, you've got two treats in store for you! Thanks for your comments!
