Jenica, I was hoping you’d chime in with “Fred” Pfeil. I’ve read some of what you’ve had to say about him in the past, and anyone who matters that much to you should be shared with others. Hopefully some of us will have time to learn more about him.

I’ve only read a little Weigand, but I have met him at the best little conference I’ve ever been at–Library History Seminar XI. Impressive in both cases.

jennimi, I used to love me some Sagan back in the day. Cosmos was what television was supposed to be about! And a scientist for the common woman or man; what’s to complain about?

Hi A! And why pray tell did L’s picture from MW look just like yours? Nice list there. I hope to have some time for “The God Delusion” one of these days. Of course, my list is already so freaking long.

I’m late, because I wasn’t checking Bloglines at Midwinter, but I must chime in with my intellectual crush on Richard Dawkins. “The God Delusion” is currently rocking my world. Other ICs, in no particular order, and of no particular relevance to LIS, include: Vladimir Nabokov, Jessa Crispin (of bookslut.com/blog), George Carlin, and Ambrose Bierce. This is fun!!!

No, Foucault would have it no other way.

I agree, jennimi, this has been great fun! I was somewhat worried when I first had the idea and realized I was going to do it despite having had 3 pints of beer. Almost never a good idea to blog after that much libation. But it all turned out well.

Thanks all! And please feel free to continue. Others, feel free to join in! I hope to get a chance to add a bit more about some of what’s already here, but who knows?

Bill Nye!!!! Yes, jenny has it!

Carl Sagan (ooh the turtleneck, the vowels, the talk of outer space)

Spock

Robert Venables (my Native American History prof from Cornell – I’ll never forget his heartbreak around Waco)

Philip K. Dick (yes, I put him in intellectual, as well as a bunch of other categories) – what is the term for crushing on a deceased intellectual…

Plato – he invented “the form of”, don’t believe those Saturday cartoons!

OK, I am being silly…. this was a great and fun post!

PS, LOVE the Weigand quotation.
