That's funny. I've never heard another reader to claim they re-read. I do. Just finished William Gibson's "Pattern Recognition" for the second time. My head is still trying to wrap itself around that one and I'm relatively bright. Love books that do that.

For me, I enjoy the mental movies!

Tat's why the book trumps the movie everytime. Another round?

Well, I was an English Major at penn State so I love the classics. Great Gatsby, Catcher In The Rye, Invisible Man (Ellison), Crime and Punishment (or anr Dostyvoesky, for that Matter), Kant, Camus,etc.... But seriously it was the beats that got me writin'...Burroughs, Kerouac, Bukowski(not a beat, but you know) Corso, Ginsberg....

I won't argue that point!
Did you ever get into Edgar Rice Bourows? |
|
|
|
No. Heard bout' him. No realaton to william s. by the way. What about Joyce Carol Oats. I kinda' like her stuff. Carson Mc Cullers, George Orwell?
|
|
|
|
I will look into those. Orwell, he did the War of the Worlds?
|
|
|
|
No, yr thinkin' of Orson WELLS. George Orwell wrote 1984, And Animal Farm. He was kind'a political/fiction writer, along the lines vof Huxleys Brand New World. Wrote about a negative utopia.

I thought I was wrong! But, I don't know everything!
I had to read the War of the Worlds. Due to the radio broadcast. He painted a great mental image! |

Stop the press!!!!!!
Did I just see that Pat admitted to not knowing everything??.. |
|
|
|
(((Earth))) I know a little of a lot of things. But, not a lot of anything!
But, that is one thing I like about being here. I learn a little bit everyday! Even about people I like. Like you! |
