You know what they say: never judge a book by its cover? Sounds like the advice of lax publishers, if you ask me, but somehow those twined words have entered our lexicon of mildly annoying phrases. I've been known to disdain cliches, and yet I resort to one, I know. But this particular kind seems appropriate. Because you can always judge a person ( Read more... )

Sorry, Austen for me too. I've never actually read Ulysses.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 02:50:58 UTC

You and Crane should have a tea party.

And, my dear. That hurts my very being.

nobaybreezes March 27 2009, 02:55:32 UTC

If I say "pass", you'll understand, right?

I'm sorry, I'll pick it up at the library this weekend? I'm putting a lot of faith in your good taste, I'd better not be disappointed.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 02:57:29 UTC

I will, and I won't blame you.

My soul is soothed. We should do lunch, by and by.

What is a book really supposed to tell you other than they have enough free time and the ability to read?

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:19:01 UTC

It's cute how you think you're on target.

sureshotsavvy March 27 2009, 03:26:19 UTC

What can I say? I'm adorable like that. If you want an actual answer, I'm fond of Ian Fleming and John le Carré.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:30:01 UTC

Adorable, eh?

Fleming is renowned, but I'm lacking on your other choice. What appeals to you most about this other?

...Thornton Wilder.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:27:12 UTC

Hrm. Interesting choice. I know him more as a playwright. What's his significance to you?

re_formed March 27 2009, 03:30:51 UTC

The plays are good. But I like his novels more. The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:37:50 UTC

Can't say I've had the pleasure. Sounds like an identity crisis sort of book. You know, transitional metaphors always are.

Austen is a wonderful author.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:27:34 UTC

I find those of the fairer sex tend to say that.

openaway March 27 2009, 03:31:42 UTC

I'd think anybody with good taste would say it.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:52:04 UTC

My, you've got quite the bite.

Dystopian fiction. Fahrenheit 451 is a particular favorite.

The old classics are also good. Faust and The Count of Monte Cristo in particular.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:50:23 UTC

Ah, a man of revolutionary tastes. You're quite the character, aren't you?

vengeful_virtue March 27 2009, 04:12:09 UTC

But of course. Hence the dramatis personae.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 04:50:35 UTC

Always a good thing to portray. Makes an impression.
