I adore Jeremy! :o)

I bit his finger really hard the last time i got plastered at barca. As it turns out, you can have someone arrested if they bite you and break the skin. Thanks a bunch for getting me locked up for the night you asshole!

This author only writes thick books (e.g. Metamagical Themas, etc.) Combined with the fact that there are nearly 200 reviews here, one must conclude that Godel Esher Bach is popular -- nay, fashionable; it seems that it's considered cool to have read it (though I wonder how many have actually done so.)

I, however -- due to my limited mental capacity, no doubt -- found GEB excrutiatingly dry, pedantic, boring and tortuous right from the beginning; that realized, I immediately quit. All of the above reminded me of the following proven wisdom of my favourite writer, Arthur Schopenhauer (whose few books aren't anywhere as thick, nor do they sport hundreds of reviews):

"The art of *not* reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public in any particular time. When some [book] is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. - A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short."

confronted with a his mousetrap on halloween, i am still unsure of jeremy's intentions. however, reports suggest his tendency for violence may match my own...
