Breaking the x-files discussion....
Questions like this spring me into bouts of something I can only classify as semi-optimistic nihilism. It was something I found myself doing when writing some recent essays. When questioning the significance of an artistic decision, I found myself questioning the significance of art, and just went down the line until I was once again questioning the purpose and value of living at all. Unfortunately, I have no answers yet.
I learned not to trust my local library or bookstores. My personal library is small, but ranges from an 1825 book of Alexander Pope's poems to a copy of Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. I've yet to purchase a copy of Fahrenheit 451, but I suspect now might be the opportune time; it sure seems the local library you have could use a few copies.
