What is your most marked characteristic? I tend to get really focused on my interests and devote myself to them. After a time, that interest tends to fade into another, and the cycle repeats itself.
What do you most value in your friends?
Simply that they are my friends and remain my friends. I do a bad job at keeping up with my friends, but somehow continue to have great and very loyal friends.

Who are your favorite writers?
I could easily list several favorite fiction (e.g., 1984, Confessions of a Crap Artist, Gulliver's Travels, American Pastoral, The Great Gatsby...) and non-fiction (Christianity and Liberalism, The Mind of the Market, Stumbling on Happiness, The Left, The Right, and The State…) books, but I don't know that I have a favorite author. I tend to read more non-fiction than fiction books since college, and these tend to be by a number of different authors.
