And I wonder if they'd be as embarrassed as I am to have to admit to having read/not read certain things.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20438669.post-65354599445088686572007-07-06T23:31:00.000-04:002007-07-06T23:31:00.000-04:00Dorothy -- the different perspective would be inte...Dorothy -- the different perspective would be interesting. Sort of a literary twist on nature v nurture. We are so much defined by our experiences. <BR/><BR/>Chris -- Always the skeptic, I probably wouldn't believe them either. I've probably forgotten far more books than I remember, so why wouldn't I think the other personal had not done so as well. Still, it would be interesting --and fun -Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20438669.post-40093026078515438512007-07-06T10:43:00.000-04:002007-07-06T10:43:00.000-04:00I wouldn't believe them.I mean -- even if they dem...I wouldn't believe them.<BR/><BR/>I mean -- even if they demonstrated that they actually had read all the books that I had read (not an impossibility - since compared to yours, mine is not a long list) -- I would never believe that they hadn't read many, many others as well.<BR/><BR/>So if someone made that claim, I would assume that he or she was trying to initiate some kind of strange - chris millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575033275184403015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20438669.post-63524618183884682372007-07-05T19:14:00.000-04:002007-07-05T19:14:00.000-04:00Interesting question!

I agree with you that the experiences wouldn't be the same -- that makes perfect sense, and it would be a fascinating study to see how the experiences differed.Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.com
