Life according to Literature

I discovered this lovely challenge on Catherine's blog and couldn't resist.
I believe that you're supposed to do this at the end of the year but never mind... 



Using only books you have read this year, answer these questions. 

Try not to repeat a book title. 



Describe yourself:  

The Colour of Magic (Terry Pratchett)



How do you feel: 

The Ship Between the Worlds (Julia Golding)

Describe where you currently live:  

A Room With a View (E.M. Forster)

If you could go anywhere, where would you go:  


Through the Looking-Glass (Lewis Carroll)



Your favourite form of transportation: 

The Little White Horse (Elizabeth Goudge)



Your best friend is:  

The Reluctant Assassin (Eoin Colfer)



You and your friends are: 

The Kings of Clonmel (John Flanagan)



What’s the weather like: 

Middlemarch (George Eliot)



You fear: 

The Sea of Trolls (Nancy Farmer)



What is the best advice you have to give:

Thought for the day:  

Thyme for Trust (Felicity Pulman)



How I would like to die: 

In Steel Grey Armour (David Ker)



My soul’s present condition: 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Shakespeare)



To be honest, I stretched the rules a bit, I've only just started a Midsummer Night's Dream. The phrase was just so beautifully poetic that I had to use it!
If you'd like to, please complete your own and post a link in the comments, I'd really love to see what you all have to say!
