Can't say I have a preference on this one.
-
We're all multi-faceted as individuals, aren't we? I'm serious about the same things I'm most often funny about: books, politics, etc. You have to keep things light sometimes in order to handle all the seriousness...but I think my reviews are serious more frequently than they are silly, and it's all about balance. I'm both, and I think there's room for that.
-
Too much time spent freaking out over the changing landscape and not enough time spent actually finding solutions to move forward.
-
Not concerned with the number as long as quality of life is good...I'd love to be a 95-year-old wild woman some day.

Something involving bacon....and mashed potatoes....and filet mignon. Um, filet mignon wrapped in bacon with mashed potatoes on the side?
-
Carolyn Keene (I wanted to be Nancy Drew); Tolkien (my dad read me The Hobbit as a bedtime story when I was eight, and it cemented my love of reading), and, of course, Judy Blume.
-
Hah. I have no idea, but obviously this is an important question. And what I really want to know is how did Googling this land someone at MY blog?
-
It's been about 15 years since I really dressed up, but I made a wicked punk rocker one year.
-
I can't say I've read enough philosophy to have a favorite philosopher, but I love John Stuart Mill's arguments in "On Liberty."
-
I don't have one! I can't recall the last time I used an actual bookmark. I tend to just pick up whatever's around---business cards, post-it notes, old boarding passes, etc.
-
This looks like the perfect opportunity for a Pantyworthy collection...but really, I'd love to see a Best American Feminist Writing collection. Essays, narrative nonfic, short stories, theory, all in one place.

It's a randomly generated code you type in when you're leaving a comment on a blog or accessing a secured website---basically, it serves to make sure there's a person (you) and not a bot or spammer on the other end of the computer.

I'm more interested in why you care about this than I am in answering it. I can't prove there's *nothing* out there, but I don't currently feel inclined to believe there is *something* either.
-
Wherever they'll fit! I used to have a system, but at this point, keepers just get shoved onto shelves wherever I can find space, and everything else gets donated or given to friends, etc.
-
Haha! No, no I didn't. (Lord, I hope this question was sarcastic...)
-
No, but oh, how I wish it were! There are bookshelves in pretty much every room of my house, but I dream of having that staircase of books and a dedicated home library.
-
I'm awful at answering this type of question! I've always been fascinated by the craziness of the colonial Puritans (I've read that Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God sermon more times than I am ready to admit), so I guess I'd go back and check them out in person.
-
Well, I think a "thank you" is always nice!
-
Hmmm. I'd say around 30-40 books come into my home each month for review consideration (from publishers, authors, etc.) and then I buy another 5 or so. Take into account that I read 8-10 a month, and the accumulation is ridiculous.
-
Books or websites? The translated books I've read most recently have been Russian classics---I'm a big fan of Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky's translations of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. As for websites, I can't think of many, but I know I've visited a few French lit blogs and used translation software to read them.
