In which the author perpetuates a "meme"
Our dear friend Infinite Thought has chosen to pass along that book meme that has been showing up in my RSS feeds every day. She actually wanted either me or Anthony, but I am planning on passing it to Anthony in order to provide the greatest possible satisfaction to Ms. Thought.1. You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be? Origins of Totalitarianism
2. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? I've never not had a crush on a fictional character.
3. The last book you bought is: Saint Paul by Stanislas Breton.
4. The last book you read: Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals by Kant.
5. What are you currently reading? Jacques Lacan, Les quatre concepts fondamentaux de la psychanalyse; very slowly making my way through Ante-Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (still on volume one)
6. Five books you would take to a desert island. James Joyce, Ulysses; Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow; Søren Kierkegaard, Concluding Unscientific Postscript; Herman Melville, Moby Dick; Marcel Proust In Search of Lost Time (hoping the whole thing can count as one big book). I'm mainly going for volume here, obviously.
7. Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why? Anthony Smith, Jared Woodard, and Bitch PhD, because -- I don't know why.
