Since I haven't posted anything in a while, and no one knows much about me, I'll bite the Three Question Meme. Ask any three questions, and I'll try to answer them as truthfully as inhumanly possible.
Now, to think of some good questions for other people.

Book) For some reason "I, Robot" and "On the Road" kept floating into my head while I was thinking about this one. I'm still not sure, but I think I might pick "Small Gods". It's not only a good story, but it says a lot about people, religion, and the combination of the two. Also, it provides an important message for people in power. We can only hope that the rising faction after the apocalypse isn't Christian or Islamic Fundamentalist.
Art) I've never grown particularly attached to any single piece of painted or scultped artwork, and I don't have much knowledge of them, either. Although I may try to avoid putting anything particularly overtly religious in the capsule (I'm rather an advocate of letting people work their spiritualism out themselves), it's undeniable that some of the most fantastic works have been created in the name of a god, so I may have to choose a smaller version of the roof of the Sistine Chapel (no, I've never been there, alas).
Music) Hmm, probably a recording (with commentary and wotnot) of the latest (at the time) Last Night of the Proms. It usually has some of the most empathic music, a good selection, and also reflects, to a certain extent, the people of the era.
