Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things. (Assuming that I have a top five, or even any five, of the thing in question.)

Date: 2005-07-24 12:43 pm (UTC)Heh, if you'd asked me for top five lines from Blake's 7 or even Doctor Who I probably could have obliged, but Stargate SG-1, while I like it muchly, is not deeply enough embedded in my skull for me to be able to remember any particular lines, let alone five...
Though I must say, that bit in "1969" where Jack is being interrogated was fun, though I can't remember the exact lines.
Top five influential or favorite books from your childhood?
Of course you know I spent a few hours a couple of days ago making a list of a whole bunch of children's books I still owned, for
Okay... let's go for influential...
1. The Silver Chair (because I decided that Puddleglum had a very good practice, to look on the bright side when one was in gloomy situations, that no matter how gloomy, there is probably a bright side somewhere)
2. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (because I decided that Thomas Covenant was a ruddy idiot, and just because you think you're insane or in an impossible situation, is still absolutely no excuse for behaving immorally.)
3. The Clan of the Cave Bear (because of all the lovingly detailed descriptions of catching and preparing all these strange foods, I decided I wouldn't be so fanatically fussy as I had been; try something once before you decide you hate it)
4. The Lord of the Rings (because it showed me about Nobility and Kingship)
5. Winnie The Pooh (because it showed me that poetry is something that even common people (and bears) can write, about everyday things)
