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.:tongue:

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....:tongue:

I met the guy who discovered Melville's Billy Bud manuscript in an old attic. I'm not a fan of Moby D*** myself, but I love his short story , Bartleby. It's the ultimate catch phrase..."I'd prefer not to....". Use it all the time.

Heard a story on the History Channel about the events that pre-ceded that book and they were pretty grim. Never got through it myself. 10,000 words describing whale blubber and I found myself reaching for some Burroughs. F*** Ahab and his whale. I appreciate detail and all but, Damn....

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.:tongue:
