1. Literature or History? Which do you prefer?

Oh, that’s hard. I had to turn it to, “which could I not possibly live without?” I think my answer is history, but I’m really on the fence about that. My hobbies and studies are more geared towards discovering how history has shaped the human experience but literature is designed to explore the totality of the potential of human experience, so it’d be tough to say which I preferred.

Now, if I had to choose between, say, a history text and any of Tolkien’s fictional writings, history would lose, hand's down.

2. What do you find boring?

Most televised sports but especially ones such as golf, bowling, or (the Gods save me) card games.

3. What living language, other than English, would you like to learn?

You had to specify “living” didn’t you?
Navajo/Dineeh. I’d like to be able to speak that.

4. What is beautiful?

Anything which can take a person outside of themselves into a feeling of joy.

5. If you interview anyone from the past, who would it be?

Hypatia. Although St. Luke is a close second.
