R. and I have resolved to make at least one post per day on our (to me ill-defined - Rich swears he knows what it's about) blog, entrepreneurial city. Check it out if you want to see how pontificatory I can really get.

I've been tagged by . So I must do this meme. So long free will. I barely knew (if) you (existed).

1. One book that changed your life.
The Common Good - Noam Chomsky, interviewed by David Barsamian

2. One book you have read more than once.
Is a trilogy one book? If so, then the His Dark Materials trilogy. If not, then The Golden Compass, which is the first book. They're by Philip Pullman.

3. One book you would want on a desert island.
Well, so long as it's not my only book, I'd probably bring along something hot, like The Sperm Engine, by Stephen Greco. I mean, I will have a lot of time on my hands.

4. One book that made you laugh.
The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson. Oh man, those were the days.

5. One book that made you cry.
Are You My Mother? still brings me to the brink of tears.

6. One book you wish had been written.
Anything else by Albert Camus.

7. One book you wish had never been written.
Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

8. One book you are currently reading.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

9. One book you have been meaning to read.
My Remedies casebook. Oh! No I kid. Umm... Anna Karenina.

10. Tag five people for this meme. I won't be upset if you don't do the meme. But the meme ghost might be.
I tag:
fuwang - because he's an English PhD and full of snarky amusements.
greekphilosophy - because we gotta keep the law students in on this meme.
krimon - because he's dirty.
bona_lector - because I think her username means good book. Or maybe it means talking about erections. I don't really speak the Greek. Latin, I mean. Umm... yeah. But actually because she is an English teacher.
andyurse - who used to edit a poetry journal.

Fewd Blawg and Fluent in Fag are now LJ-feeds.

So you don't need to leave :)

Title is a Teen Girl Squad reference, btw.

I realised that I rarely input all the extra little bits of information that some LJ's have, like mood, music, tags, location, and I also very rarely change my userpic from my default one. Really I'm quite lazy, since my client allows me to do it all from lovely little pulldown menus as I'm typing up my posts.

So I've done them all today.

I also rarely remember to tag when I post, and instead have tagging sprees where I go through many posts and tag them all. I do like the idea of tags, but I just need to get in the habit of using them every time. Like condoms and bike helmets.
