I don't want to make you feel like your liking him is unwelcome. You mustn't entirely as you said it, even if it is in paragrpahs...defend him for me, maybe there is something I am missing? Heck Hon, you're half the reason I have my nose in an Atwood, I resect your opinion, so give it a whirl...eh?orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-90410442197896597102007-05-30T07:26:00.000-07:002007-05-30T07:26:00.000-07:00Gorgeous view from your living room - cute art wor...Gorgeous view from your living room - cute art work from your daughter!<BR/><BR/>(And, yikes - I <I>like</I> Hemingway...)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110235078325434919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-27738299106186359732007-05-30T00:57:00.000-07:002007-05-30T00:57:00.000-07:00I have never managed to get past the first chapter...I have never managed to get past the first chapter of Hemmingway - I am such a quitter. Just out of curiousity how are you getting on with Attwood. I started her with Handmaid's tale which I couldn't get on with, but then read Cat's Eye which I loved. I do think she can be patchy. I thought your headline might be about her and was prepared to defend herBoo and Trevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180278448934122491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-65829818643049248532007-05-29T22:54:00.000-07:002007-05-29T22:54:00.000-07:00I am unaccountably pleased to see where you sit an...I am unaccountably pleased to see where you sit and blog and such.<BR/><BR/>And your opening sentence of this post?

Orwell I thought at the time was rather clever. OK - I was probably 12 - so obviously must reread. <BR/>Can't wait to SEE you!

Though apparently the people who lived in Wigan at the time when he said it was so dreadful and filthy (Road to Wigan Pier) took offense because those were still the days when people scrubbed the front steps. The other 2 writers I can't read unless forced to are D H Lawrence who I find really pretentious and Thomas Hardy who is less pretentious but I find dull. I always hated Hemingway though because he was such a fraud on nearly every front.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201306601361606616noreply@blogger.com
