Well, that's actually kind of charming, considering that Mr. P's Lot 49 is one of the best (eg., non-genre SF, non-Illuminatus) books I ever picked up as a teenager.

Ms. Mewing.net, her quiz, and the annoying faux-McSweeney's-style NYC transit map on her personal website are hereby sentenced to an all day Saturday shift behind the Pulpfiction buying desk. GASP at the annoying crackhead with the fake $50! COUGH your lungs out (varathane fumes -- new shelves!). HOLD your tongue as an arts administrator who makes more money than you'll ever make in your life sells you a copy of Thierry de Duve's life-changing work of genius, Kant After Duchamp, then informs one of their arts administrator pals that they "didn't really get" Thierry, and that they "really really hated that book."

Actually, come to think of it, Ms. Mewing.net's quiz is kind of charming too. Anyone who genuinely hates The Hobbit and The Fountainhead must have some good qualities buried somewhere.
