Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
As I said in my original statement - It's my opinion; nothing more nor less. If you don't agree, just move on, please.Are you seriously going to suggest that William Faulkner lived a limited existence? Maybe compared to God, but certainly not compared to me.
Ha
BTW, Bill and I have several areas that we have somewhat in common.
- He wrote "The Sound and the Fury"; I read the book in Eng 101.
- He went to Stockholm to get his Nobel medal and dined in the Blue Hall. I went to Stockholm and while I didn't get the Nobel, or have a chance to eat in the Blue Hall (nor the Golden Hall, upstairs), I did get to tour them both.
The difference is that he was there in 1950 and probably traveled the entire journey by ship, whereas I traveled to London last June via jet, and then got on a ship that traveled the Baltic (but did stop in Stockholm); another bit of a similar trip.
BTW, I never said he lived a "limited experience"; those are your words. The Nobel was not the only "prize" he picked up in Stockholm during his trip there (see Else Jonsson). That's where we are not the same, since my DW would allow me to accept the Nobel Prize, she would not like me to have an affair with the wife of the person who used my writings to introduce them to a Swedish audience. Sometimes, travel can be exciting, and you can learn new things ...
I'll leave this "discussion" with one of his quotes:
"This is a free country. Folks have a right to send me letters, and I have a right not to read them."
