bookish
glueboot desires I take this test, apparently.
1. You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Samuel Beckett's Comment c'est/How It Is.
2. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
All the men who moan in Thomas Bernhard novels. And the Marquise de Merteuil from Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
3. The last book you bought is:
Simon Reynolds Rip it up and Start Again, yesterday
4. The last book you read:
Giorgio Agamben's State of Exception
5. What are you currently reading?
I am infinitely reading Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason; some Elfriede Jelinek for sadistic non-relief.
6. Five books you would take to a desert island.
Kant's First Critique, Hegel's Science of Logic, Marx's Capital, the complete Plato and Dante's Divine Comedy. Gosh, it's just like Desert Island Disks....
7. Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Not that I care if they do it or not, but undercurrent, adam kotsko and/or anthony smith from the weblog, and northanger. Why? because they're all splendid and yet I don't really know any of them (apart from undercurrent a little bit).
