Who the funk is George Eliot?

[jackshoegazer]

"If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel`s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence."    ~George Eliot

Sometimes, I would like to make this the goal of all my writing.

J.K. Rowling published as J.K. rather than use her name because she didn't think boys would want to read a book about a boy wizard written by a woman.

I've read some classics, and they're okay.

I need to tell you the problem I'm having with Jim Morrison and why surrealism might have to go out the door a bit for me.

Iiiinteresting...this will be a nifty discussion, I think. I've always had this feeling (and it has nothing to do with my personal preference) that your best writing would be more Irving than Robbins.

You should read more classics. If I can't get you to read the Modern Library with me (which are all 1900+, none are older than that), I'll pick select ones and make you read those. I think you should read some George Eliot AND some Evelyn Waugh, though.
