I'm terribly fond of The Wasteland; wrote a paper for Harding's Brit Lit class, once, comparing it with visual expressions of desolation and alienation in Dali's works, and it was a fun one to write.

Interesting discussion of Quantum Immortality. Reminds me a little bit of the idea of eternal return, as presented in The Unbearable Lightness of Being. At least, I pick up on the same sense of longing for something to lend weight or permanence to our lives in the face of futility.
