81%. I got that one wrong too, MJ.

Ya know, that's one book I need to put on my list. That and the Zen/Motorcycle one. Just so I can say I either read it, or I tried to.

90%. One I never heard of. I should probably hang my head in shame, eh?

Re [Quiz]Dead or Alive Quiz - Famous Authors Version

The dead-or-alive quizzes always help my average.

Lynne - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a book I tried in college and after two chapters I decided life was too short and quit reading it. That book bored me to tears.

Re [Quiz]Dead or Alive Quiz - Famous Authors Version

Naomi, that's kind of what I think will happen when I read it, but it's like Hitchhiker...just have to try it, I think. From the library.

Re [Quiz]Dead or Alive Quiz - Famous Authors Version

72% I also killed a few off before their time. Interestingly enough, the ones I got wrong shared the same first name--or variant of. Perhaps I have a hidden bias?

Please give it another try. The book does start slowly but for a good reason. If you gave up after a couple of chapters this will sound insane, but I consider ZATAOMM one of the better examples of pacing that I've ever read.

Re [Quiz]Dead or Alive Quiz - Famous Authors Version

I had to read Zen in college too. I didn't like it then. Based on Brian's glowing remarks, I'll give it another whirl, with a library copy, thank you.

Oh, 90%. Missed the cave bear lady. Never liked her stuff anyway. (shrug)

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby
