i recently got "influence" by mary-kate and ashley olsen. before you laugh at me for being a teenybopper fan, it's not a biography or anything cheesy like that. it's a book full of interviews with famous artists and figures in fashion conducted by the two. anyways, i thought this looked like fun:
"in the late 19th century, the french writer marcel proust stumbled upon a questionnaire called 'an album to record thoughts, feelings, etc.' proust answered the survey several times in his life, and helped popularize the relevatory questions, which became known as the proust questionnaire, as a way to uncover a subject's true characteristics and emotions ever since."
