A Mirror Floating in Water

Inspired by PeterL

1. What is one book that changed your life: Ulysses by James Joyce. It completely changed by perception of words and images, and how you use them. Every flower has smelt different since then.

2. What is one book that you’ve read more than once: Hamlet, it NEVER gets old.

3. What is one book you’d want on a desert island: The complete works of Shakespeare. Or maybe Euclid's Elements to keep me occupied without driving myself crazy with nostaliga.

4. What is one book that made you laugh: I found Dave Egger's A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius to be maximalistically ironic and depressingly hilarious bipolararity.

5. What is one book that made you cry: The Idiot by Dostoyevsky.

6. What is one book that you wish you had written: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald or The Old Man and the Sea by Erntst Hemingway or Dubliners by James Joyce. Or maybe Writing and Differance by Jaques Derrida; I've always wanted to sound that obscure

7. What is one book that you wish had never been written: Not really any, even mistakes must be made, or else we wouldn't have guys like Nietzsche or Voltaire to make fun of them

8. What is one book you’re currently reading: The Idiot; deeply moving, but with a setting quite different from Dostoyevsky's other works.

9. What is one book that you’ve been meaning to read: There's soo many. Don Quioxte, The Brothers Karamazov, Finnegan's Wake, In Search of Lost Time, Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest, King Lear. Sorry, I'm just making a list of things to read.

10. What is one book that you recommend to almost everyone: Hamlet, definitley. The Complete Works of Shakespeare for that matter.. . .
