Are we what we eat read?

Norm of the eponymous and unfailingly interesting normblog presented an intriguing book meme. The idea is that, using only books you've read this year, one should provide titles for posed questions and without repeating titles. I do, however, tend to go completely blank as far as titles even though I read one or two or more books a week.
Describe yourself: Almost always the main character of whatever book I've just finished or am currently enjoying. For example, while thinking about this, I've veered wildly from The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to The Guernsey Literary...Society to The Marx Sisters to Just Grace to Persuasion to ....
How do you feel? Mennyms (Sylvia Waugh). A young readers' book but maybe not so much when you consider she uses words like "mollify." Also Far From the Madding Crowd.
Describe where you currently live: A Covenant With Death and, simultaneously, Anne of Green Gables and Little Chapel on the River.
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? London (Rutherford), A Remembrance of Things Past, War and Peace.
Your favorite form of transportation? The Phantom Tollbooth.
Your best friend is: A Bridge Too Far and Daddy Nostalgia.
You and your friends are: Song Without End and/or Oh What a Lovely War and/or I'm (we're) All Right, Jack and/or Don Quixote and/or J'accuse and/or Eat, Pray, Love.
What's the weather like? The Bell(weather) Jar.
You fear: The Tears of Autumn and/or Conversations After a Burial.
What is the best advice you have to give? The Healing Imagination.
Thought for the day: Cryptonomicon. Dance to the Music of Time. Both.
How would you like to die? A Postillion Struck by Lightning.
Your soul's present condition? Snakes and Ladders, The Idiot, The Quinqunx.
Now you!
