Slight Improvement

Only 16 hours today.

I do not want to know what I have left on those pages as horrible blunders ... though I am happy that I was not the person who left in Narnia film-maker  Philip Pullman. Though I did have a funny moment imagining it under his direction ...

Quick note to young people, there are no such famous authors as the following: Evelyn War, Tony Morrison or Hunterest Thomson.

Spend less time on Facebook and more time reading.

Thanks for the expressions of sympathy and outrage. And Bryoney? You'll keep. Right now te worst I could do is nap on you.

Sleep tomorrow, then a week off for writing, then a week off for travelling! Pushdragon, Meredyth  and Sno, think of fun things to do!

Too hard, I think you just hand out copies of 1001 Books to read before you die, and subscriptions to The Literary Review, Harpers and The New Yorker. That'd do it.

I haven't looked at that list, but I can tell you right now I haven't been able to read Tristram Shandy or Ulysses. Or Finnegans Wake!

Tristram Shandy ROCKS!!!

It's like a postmodern novel written centuries before postmodernism! But I think they should do a spoke-book version with someone like James MacAvoy reading it. That would let people see all the fun and sexiness in the text without having to look at those dense blocks of print.

As for Joyce, he's one of those love or hate authors. I love, but I can completely see why others hate!

I didn't dislike either: I was just frustrated by my inability to read and understand them. I did enjoy the Tristram Shandy movie that was made recently.

I only hate authors if they've done something to annoy me. Such as overt misogyny, or completely unrealistic characters.
