Roxanne tagged me with the newest meme. What the hey, I'll bite.
1. Of all the books that you have eventually finished after many starts & stops, which one took you the longest and how long did it eventually take?
I don't think I finished The Silmarillion until my junior year in college, and I probably started that book in junior high. Lots of fits and starts. Same thing with Gravity's Rainbow, which I picked at for over a year until I killed it during a study-abroad program in Italy. If you're looking for a book to sort of not read for long periods of time and eventually put down, I recommend Pynchon—the Tolkien myth is actually good, so long as you're willing to slog through the Molgorth-begat-Orgnaught stuff.
2. What great band (or album or song) have you heard so often, you wouldn't mind never hearing again even though you still think the band (or album or song) is great?
Probably Radiohead.
3. Which cliché or often cited quote needs to be placed in quarantine for a few decades?
"Socially liberal, fiscally conservative" is what people say when they mean, "I have never voted, and in fact hold no opinions about politics whatsoever." Fenceriders, bah!
4. During the 1990s "Compassion Fatigue" received a lot of press, now the media is giddy with "Donation Fatigue". What will be the next trendy fatigue?
Indictment fatigue! We'll be hearing those aches and moans as early as tomorrow from the folks at National Review
5. What percentage of respondents will answer "meme fatigue" to question #4?
I like little time wasters, but man—this one meme a while back was truly terrible. (Nothing meant by linking to The Heretik as an example.) The first question was, "You are stuck in Fahrenheit 451. What book would you be?" or some variation. Doesn't that reference signal that the book is about to be burned? I was ready for these things to disappear at that point.
Okay, kicking off to Jeff G., Jeff N., and Charles.
