Book Junkie's Tattoo

This is a great idea for a tattoo. I spotted it while reading the post Bibliophile Tattoo on one of my favorite blogs Grasping for the Wind.

The tattoo is on Book Junkie's right arm.

Here are a few words that I was thinking last night after seeing this post. My right arm is taken, but I have been searching for something for my left.

soph·ist (sŏf'ĭst) n. One skilled in elaborate and devious argumentation. [Middle English sophiste, from Latin sophista, from Greek sophistēs, from sophizesthai, to become wise, from sophos, clever.]

mis·an·thrope (mĭs'ən-thrōp', mĭz'-) n. One who hates or mistrusts humankind. [French, from Greek mīsanthrōpos, hating mankind : mīso-, miso- + anthrōpos, man.]

en·thy·meme (ěn'thə-mēm') n. Logic A syllogism in which one of the premises or the conclusion is not stated explicitly. [Latin enthȳmēma, from Greek enthūmēma, a rhetorical argument, from enthūmeisthai, to consider : en-, in; see en-2 + thūmos, mind.
