Favorite Vice:
I am afraid I have reached the age where it is candy: Darn or maybe good — I reached that age. My answers to the other questions I am afraid are way too boring for this hip crowd.

hey, you’re cool. your site is too cool too. thank you.
masturbation? it doesn’t wreck my teeth. but, maybe ice cream. but, the dao of it is that i can’t eat ice cream and jerk off, or listen to alban berg and jerk off. the ice cream is distracting and the berg is more interesting. so, maybe a site like yours — fockusing the concentration — is, as they say, eye-candy?

I understand we’re in the highbrow section of the web here, but do you really mean “everything from the “Fackel” and Die Letzen Tage Der Menschheit” – I mean, really everything?! Cover to cover? Well, what can I say ….. wow! ;-)

Well, by everything I mean just the stuff I know from his immense work. The three essay collections Grimassen, In dieser großen Zeit, Vor der Walpurgisnacht, Sittlichkeit und Kriminalität and Unsterblicher Witz.
I didn’t read all the essays in those books, and I don’t like all of them equally, but they always give me something.
