Dissident Heart, thanks for doing the Chomsky interview!

Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into conducting the Noam Chomsky interview. So many members and friends have commented on the quality and thoroughness of the interview. You deserve all the credit so thank you.

Please look through the "Books Available for Awards" thread and tell me here in this thread which book you'd like sent to you. You deserve it.

Then send me a private message with your mailing address. I probably have it on file still, but send the PM just incase. Thanks.

Smile

Chris,

Working with Chomsky was a great opportunity and a real pleasure. My admiration for him has only increased: he was humble, patient, considerate and delightfully generous as well. I'm very grateful that Booktalk made it possible to discuss his book Interventions, and I aqlso want to say hats off to those who added their questions to the interview process!

So, for a free book...well...let me see: Spinoza is near and dear to my heart...and I have Damasio's other book, "Descartes' Error"...so, I would like to have his Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain .

Thanks again Chris!
