An Unrepentant Height-ist's Lookshelf

1) Who are you and where are you?

C E Stephens; St Joseph, MO

2) What do you do for work?

Second-shift pharmaceutical company janitor, one of the few profitable jobs for a non-degree seeking philosopher.

3) What do you do for fun?

I try to make everything fun. I document & celebrate the weirdness of my little citytown, publish a monthly journal of essays and organize events for vagabond artists.

4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.

They're poorly made and understocked. Also, as you can see, my books are arranged by height. I'm an unrepentant height-ist.

5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.

My copy of Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions is a first edition hardcover, still in great condition and was found in a junk shop for ten dollars.

Catch-22 is the newest addition. It was a Christmas gift, as was Godel, Escher, Bach.
It would seem Burroughs, Vonnegut and Thompson make the most appearances on the site. Thank you for Lookshelves.
