The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for November 05, 2024

Eh? What?

Oh my goodness! Good grieve! Gosh! (what else could be said?) :-D And these are the pillars of society…

Who gives a toot?

writers and poets are always confused

no fair throwing Mitcheners!

I read Robbins years ago and tried again recently and found his writing to be boringly bad.

Wish I’d have been there!

See what happens when you don’t have wine and chocolate at your book club?

Although I gather that Shelley did write some prose, I don’t know that enough people read it today for an argument like this to break out. The only poem of his that left much of an impression on me was Ozymandias.

His wife did write a rather famous novel, though.

Where are the dogs?

No true book lover would ever throw a book. Chairs, yes. Lamps, yes. But not books.

And THIS is why those of us who stick with dogs and books do so. sigh.

This couldn’t be any worse than the William Faulkner vs Victor Hugo squabble.
