Three Canadians, a kiwi and an Italian. Huh.

Even thought we don’t have the ‘make a response list’ feature up and running yet, I’d be really interested to see your lists. It’s a hard one to make, but I think I captured the essence of it.

Incidentally, these are not books promoting ideologies that I follow and adhere to – and there is not one book on this list that I agree with wholeheartedly.

These are the books that presented me with the ideas with which I spend most of my time wrestling.

my list:
- I, Lucifer; Glen Duncan
- Being and Nothingness; Sartre
- Twilight of the Idols; Nietzsche
- Dracula; Bram Stoker
- Persuasion; Jane Austen

Think this list would paint a pretty accurate picture of me
