It... depends on the book. <-- In what sense does it depend on the book what themes you enjoy? (that took some internet archeology, damnit)
I think it's ... fairly normal to resent things one doesn't understand, actually. I spent a good hour over Christmas sitting under a brazier trying to demonstrate with dialogues what falls under the incredibly broad umbrella of postmodernism to a friend, and all we really got out of it was an amusing battlecry for drinking binges ("Ought we clash register every night, do you think?" / "I think we should be postmodern every night."). Er, meaning that I don't think I have an entirely solid grasp on it either, but I've discovered a liking for texts that come under that heading, d'you see? Blarg. Rambling, sorry.
That sounds like the Aziraphael in my head. Or rather, like my mental image of angels in general. A really good teacher, then?
I love discussing ideas. My main frustration is that I know I am an appalling communicator, which makes actually getting the ideas across difficult. (Oh, in this vein - have added you to my messanger lists - I hope you don't mind?)
Either Being God or Being a Boy, I think, since in my wisdom I've not yet totally given up on either. They may not be entirely practical ambitions, but they are certainly lifelong ones. ;)
Where would you most like to live, given certainty of income and an assumed social circle would be available wherever you went?
