Mucho gracias, Jeremy.  Your suggestions sound very interesting, I noted down the names / titles of the books. My reading history is ...I am not sure what it's like, but let's say I began reading with the classics, then moved towards a little of the contemporary fiction. I like Dickens, Proust, Doestovesky, Maugham, Stephen King, Anais Nin, Miller, etc hmmm...well I can't think of all the names right now...! |

Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"
T.S. Eliot

Tom Robbins' Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas is blowing my mind for the second time. |

I don't mind homosexuals. I love Nabakov's writing style but I've never read McCarthy or Atwood. Nin is definitely a badass but then again a great writer...or has had interesting things to say if you may. |

If you are going to read Capote, read his friend: Harper Lee. She wrote to Kill A Mockingbird, and nearly wrote mostly all of In Cold Blood, with precious little acknowledgement for her effort from her " friend" Truman. |

She wrote most of that shit?
... and Truman, basking in the Hosannas, went on to become ostracized and never wrote another book in his life, spending his time on television talk shows. It ruined him that Harper was better than him. Harper, OTOH, shunned publicity. Fascinating story them two. Yup. |

Another part of punctuation is capital letters and small letters. Anybody can really do as they please about that and in English printing one may say that they always have.

The Seven Laws of Money Honest Business (Both by Michael Phillips)The entire 31 issue collection of The Quarterly (edited by Gordon Lish)Recently sold for a mint on ebay. I pieced my collection together one at a time... Lish is an interesting character. Some quotes: - "The secret of good writing is telling the truth." -- Dick Cavett television interview, Aug. 25, 1991
- "It’s not what happens to people on the page; it’s about what happens to a reader in his heart and mind."
- "I see the notion of talent as quite irrelevant. I see instead perseverance, application, industry, assiduity, will, will, will, desire, desire, desire."
- "Never be sincere — sincerity is the death of writing"
Oh yeah. And this is about writing, in an off hand way, and fits into the discussion here, I think. If you can get past the idiocy of it all. Capote, in his prime and Grouch in his elderly phase. And "Dick" Cavett - as himself, presumably. |
