TALIESIN

Excellent interview, Virgil -- as always, your passion for literature is an inspiration.

A thought occurred to me; should we administer the Pivot questionnaire, a la Inside the Actor's Studio to all of the past and future interviewees?

Great interview!! Thank you Virgil, Pensive, and Aimus!!

Wonderful interview!! I am amazed how people manage to have this rare combination of Engineering and Literature. Thanks, Virgil.

Good job, once again, Pensive and Aimus.

Oh, well, for the next nominee, may I suggest, Aimus. :D

Great interview, Virgil, amazing that you dedicate your time to learn new subjects ! I wish you tons of luck for everything you do :nod:

Thanks for carrying out these interviews, it's so interesting to learn about the other members ! Thanks Pensive and Aimus !!

You know I don’t recall too many novels with engineers. I really should read some.

There was a wonderful novel that I read which was about a Mechanical Engineer working in coal mines, designing engines. It was wonderful. I would have strongly recommended it to you buy unfortunately, I have forgotten it's title name. *frowns*

A Virgil version of continuing education. :)

I admire that..I think everyone needs to keep their mind active, open and flexible. The more we learn, the more we find we need to learn.

Thanks Kathy. It started with a feeling that I was missing something after I had finished school. I considered taking classes for the hell of it, but I didn't need any more degrees and I wasn't going to try to keep up with a homework and test schedule. So I told myself I can do it on my own. Plus there are audio classes that you can buy if you want to learn on your own. Here's my favorite:http://www.teach12.com/teach12.asp?ai=16281. It's called the teaching company and the courses are taught by top notch professors. They can be a little expensive, but I always wait for a sale.
