Jenn, I will read the book as soon as I get a chance. Unless I forget. Lately that equals a distinct possibility.

Depending on the job requirements I’d be happy to serve as a minion waiting for your life to progress, although I’d prefer to watch it progress rather than wait.

Everyone should read Faulkner's tour de force once. Personally, though Absalom! Absalom! is my favorite; it took my breath away. But if you want an easier one to read, check out Intruders in the Dust. It's shorter and only slightly easier to read. But here are my results. I'm not sure I have minions following my life progress, but the control of great resources made me laugh. You're Dune! by Frank Herbert You have control over a great wealth of resources, but no one wants to let you have them. You've decided to try to defend yourself, but it may take eons before you really get back what you feel you deserve. Meanwhile you have a cult-like following of minions waiting for your life to progress. This would all be even more exciting if you could just get the sand out of your eyes.

Thanks, Meredith. Sounds like a recommendation to me.

Yes, “People’s History” works for you.

Georgia, I could think of better reasons to get to know Meredith, but if that is the one that prompts you to do so then it is a good one.

[...] catch up on more than a week of backlog. I took a quick break to take the book quiz pointed out by Mark Linder and it seems … well, I’ll let you, kind reader, be the judge of its [...]

Does the fact that I also got “A People’s History of the United States” mean that I should get to know Meridith?

Having read the book 3 times in my life, and still feeling like I could understand it better with a fourth reading, I’d say that book is perfect for you. I got “A People’s History of the United States” which seemed strangely apt too.

Wow, mine was pretty on, too. I mean, I might indeed be one of the greatest people of all time if I could just get a handle on talking about those talking rabbits… fun find, friend. Good to see you funnin’ again.

Mine was super right on too.... You're Catch-22! by Joseph Heller Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.

Hi John, yes, that is the best time to believe in “ferries.”

And, it was fun.
