pondering recent conversation-like-things

ever since i had a great conversation with mrtn about books and reading (which may or may not have been enhanced slightly by the large amount of alcohol that had been consumed that day), i've thinking about doing a post of my top ten favorite books. but then it starts to get complicated. most enjoyable to read? well written? life changing? all that kind of stuff. it's like that conundrum of trying to talk to a film scholar about their favorite movie. they'll likely say something brooding and classic like citizen kane, but when you walk away, you know they didn't actually enjoy the film--it's just what people say because it's such an established piece of film making history and all that bull shit. i'm still thinking about it though. could be something more soon.

ooo, isn't that exciting?
