    Bravo, fantastic interview Virgil! I hope you do find your wolf someday!

    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?

    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.
    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    Be the change you wish to see

    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*

    Singer: Frank Sinatra; Composer: Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi.
    I do love Frank Sinatra too, wonderful singer!

    can’t make up my mind whether my favourite movie is “Casablanca” or “Ben-Hur”
    I have watched Casablanca and I liked it a lot! How gorgeous was the acting of the heroine? (I have forgotten her name)
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    Well, I love the Beatles too Idril. I don't understand why it would be one or the other.

    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.
