Re: What does your BookTalk.org username mean?
"Student"- which is how I see myself these days. When I was 17, I knew pretty much everythng about the universe, except for a few small details that were probably unimportant anyway. To my shock, all that knowledge evaporated over only a few short years, and indeed the situation is now 180 degrees different. Now I realize, even some time later, that I know only small details, probably unimportant in the larger scheme of things, and there is a universe in darkness out there. I'll have to hurry to come up to speed.

I wish I could tell that my name revolved around an epic tale of courage and fortune, but alas, it's just my pen name.

Aomame is a character in Haruku Murakami's "IQ84". It means "green peas".
I like her - although I have nothing in common with her (neither do I murder people, nor do I have a similar religious background).

Re: What does your BookTalk.org username mean?
A theomanic is someone who has theomania - the belief that they are god. I like this name for its irony. I have a way of stating things that seems to make people think I will brook no argument and that is the end of it. I also have a lot of Opinions. Yes, it deserves a capital "O".
More than once people have accused me of feeling like I'm god because of this manner. However, I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in god! And I certainly don't feel I am one and am always curious to hear other people's perspectives and opinions on things. So it's an unfortunate thing that some people get the impression that I am so immovable in my statements from my firm way of phrasing them.
So basically, I don't believe in God, but I think I am God, thus I don't believe in myself.

Re: What does your BookTalk.org username mean?
My username is actually the name of my friend, the writer Thomas Rose-Masters.
And, since I honestly and seriously believe that he is a very good debut author, I am trying to promote his first novel. My name is Milan Milkovich. and I am a literary researcher.

Re: What does your BookTalk.org username mean?
At the ripe old age of 36, I became an avid runner and so far, have run two marathons. I'm in the middle of training for my third which will be in May of this year. Pheidippides was the Greek runner who ran to Marathon to announce the victory of Greece over the Persians to the townspeople. He is rumored to have cried: "We won!, we won!" and then die on the spot.
