Voidede37: One never ends a sentence in a proposition, unless, of course, one is quoting another.

I'm currently reading:

1. GROWTH OF THE SOIL by Knut Hamsun, the Nobel Laurelate in 1916 or thereabouts. I read it thirty years ago because Henry Miller recommended it, but the writing is badly dated; the style archaic, but, nevertheless he can tell a tale. It's surprisingly graphic for those days, dealing with infantacide, adultery and sexual matters.

2. POOR NO MORE by Robert Ruark. This arrived yesterday in a box of my deceased dad's books (some of them; my sister, though she doesn't read, probably kept the good ones for spite). Robert Ruark was a best-selling author in the 50's and early 60's. An unabashed Hemingway emulator, he couldn't pull off the writing side of it, though he sure mastered the hunting, fishing and drinking part. He wrote some damn good books, though: UHURU, SOMETHING OF VALUE, and, his best: a collection of his columns for FIELD AND STREAM magazine entitled, respectively: THE OLD MAN AND THE BOY and THE OLD MAN'S BOY GROWS OLDER.

He drank him self to death at the age of 50 in Spain. He's worth reading.

Hope this satisfies your wish for more than a sentence or two. I could go on till I dropped, but then again: I ain't getting paid for this.

 

Reading:

Cobwebs

Just finished: Clan of the cave bear

Voided 37: Be an editor! I've been battling those ignorant ego-maniacs for 20 years. I once worked for an editor who proudly told me he had never read Hemingway! I was utterly stunned. He eventually got canned by the publisher and landed a job writing advertising copy for some chain store. Water will find its level.

And Electric Jelly: That book you're reading is non-fiction; it actually happened, but maybe you knew that. If you like that one, read "Mau-Mauing the Flak-Catchers", also by Tom Wolfe.

 

thanks THUDLY

ill make sure to read that

im always looking for good books

 

Myself, my reflection in a mirror and I'm as confused as a question mark. Although at least a question mark knows what it is LOL !

 

Minus Man by Lew McCreary

It's got the same kind of tone as the movie. I'm having a terrible time getting through it, though. Every time I put it down, my husband snags it.

 

Just finished Choke and started What Might Have Been also working my way through the new Bates Guide to Physical Exam

 

LOL, but sometimes I fear the answers and how they are given so I usually don't ask ha ha. + yeah, that avatar I use sometimes is alright, but I usually use my chrome
