Need I remind you Obama won a nobel peace prize? You can win nobel prizes without truly deserving them. (Which I'm not saying he doesn't having not read all his books). All I'm saying is the two I have read were as boring as a machine that builds tunnels through rock.
Not really. He has to only appeal to a small group of judges not necessarily book readers as a whole- just like any award. I suspect the theme and politics of his works contributed to his prize considering when it was given. Besides I'm not saying he is a bad writer (highly subjective) just I find him as boring as ****. I think 30s through 50s were a bad era for literature in general to be honest.(obviously some exceptions)
I take exception. I couldn't give a flying fiddlers about whatever hack RHC is prattling on about but rack boring machines are NOT boring. take it back.
Until I turned 30 I used to read almost every day for at least an hour or two. Classics, trash, quite a variety. As a kid I used to read all night long some nights. I have difficulty focusing now though. I'd love to read again but like you I'm too distracted.
Apparently the Olympic Tongue Twister champion was arrested the other day. I hope he gets a tough sentence...
Yesterday I read a classic novel by Ernest Hemingway while on my way to work, today I'm playing Candy Crush. My brain is confused.
