Watching the Watchmen movie is a good proxy for reading the book, but the political subtext of the book is clearer in the original.

I only completely missed the D&D book.

Though with Watchmen I just saw the movie. I don’t know if that counts as a half mark, or a negative.

I think positively normal is 0/9. In fact, I think even typical geeks score fairly low, because they don't enjoy the many different kinds of geekiness embodied in that list.

Well, I read 8/9, but I skimmed my copy of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information and looked at the pretty pictures. I re-read Gödel, Escher, Bach periodically, but I'm geeky that way.

Only 7/9. I feel positively normal.
