Yeah, by golly, that's it. I'd rep you, as promised, but it won't let me

I actually read this about 8 months ago, (though I never finished the book)and was talking about this very dialogue with my girlfriend, who asserted that this was what the whole book was really about--identity.

But thanks, Cris. This reminds me why I can't answer Arc's last question--I've lately latched onto the Ramana Maharshi thing, and have reached the conclusion that "Who Am I?" can't be answered. Only ... expressed (for lack of a better term).
