Hah, well yes, certainly puts my mind at ease. If you're discussing peni then I always finds cats and ducks to be most interesting. 

I always thought PG13 was funny. 13 year olds are generally filthy little creatures. At least I was.

Sounds impressive and interesting to say the least. I actually studied philosophy in college (and did terribly, turns out education never interested me until I was finished with it - go figure).
 
Literary fiction is great and is one of the strongest tools for getting real subjects through to those who might not otherwise be interested - something I think we desperately need today. I've always wanted to get into that, but again requires too much foresight and prior planning. I'm terrible at that. I never really plan anything I write, I just start and let it keep flowing until I'm done, then read back and re-write or add in anything I think would be good. 

But yes, I would be most most interested. [I]Generally[/I] people are far too shallow when it comes to philosophy and reflection of both the self and the rest of the world/humanity.

And if you're talking about Japanese stuff, I love me some Japanese history and culture. The one barrier I find quite often though, is that I don't particularly enjoy anime stuff - despite trying a few times to get into it. Which is a shame because I get the impression that the vast majority of modern media or literature about Japan (historical or otherwise) falls into that. Same with some Rps... damn anime leaking into everything :p
