You will probably want to edit the author's name of the books listed at 97 and 99. It's Sfar, not Foer. This error is all the more egregious considering your apparent bibliophilia and familiarity with both The Athanasius Kircher Society and The New Republic.
Thanks for pointing that out. I wrote the author names from memory, mostly, and for some reason, Joan Sfar is melded in my mind with Jonathan Safran Foer. Anyways, correction made.
Though what that has to do with The Athanasius Kircher Society and TNR, I really don't know...
ahhh memory, memory, memory ...as in moonwalking with einstein?
AKS=JPSF
TNR=FLF
the gawker and the observer would know....
btw what are your thoughts about turkey bacon? And which brands do you prefer? Are you aware that Butterball's has pork?
Damnit! I love Candide. Turkey bacon is no good.
