Hemingway, Kerouac, Ray Bradbury (yes, this is true, he says openly and without sarcasm that he hates women), Pope, and I'm not even going to get into modern bestsellers. Fuck 'em. And I used to <I>love</I> Ray Bradbury.<BR/><BR/>Glad you liked!Droplethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966583587515853787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422736464190011864.post-61952395951397824252007-08-07T15:50:00.000-07:002007-08-07T15:50:00.000-07:00I'm with Cheryl: DH Lawrence sucks.Mmm, rargh!I'm with Cheryl: DH Lawrence <I>sucks</I>.<BR/><BR/>Mmm, rargh!Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311469795382550121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422736464190011864.post-58917279149706610152007-08-03T15:42:00.000-07:002007-08-03T15:42:00.000-07:00Probitionate-Yeah, being the different one is oh s...Probitionate-<BR/><BR/>Yeah, being the different one is oh so much better than being at home. <BR/><BR/>As far as the spitting goes, I'm only passing on the shock that every Englishman I ever swallowed for conveyed.
