Norm has laid down this challenge - which I'm happy to meet (taking one of his items as my starting point):
[UPDATE: I hope it's clear, by the way, that in several cases I don't regret not having done the thing in question - far from it. Conversely, a reader has emailed to say that my life will have been enriched once I read Beowulf in Anglo Saxon. Not any time soon, I fear.]
- read Lord of the Rings
- driven across America
- voted for a party other than Labour
- found anything written by Slavoj Zizek illuminating
- crossed the equator
- seen Citizen Kane
- tasted caviar
- 'got' Steely Dan

Perhaps Michael and Damian would care to take up the challenge in turn?
