i may just join you -- though i just placed ten books on order thru public library, work library, and amazon. oops.
as for pasted lengthy quotes, good luck with that! :)
to everyone else, thanks for, as Dennis C said, a great conversation.
so far, Badiou sounds like a perfect bore. I think I got my fill of metaphysics with Alfred North Whitehead and Justus Buchler.
