Couldn't get into Faulkner, Tolstoy, Henry James, Jack London. Amy Tan, Steven King, Mark Twain.
I thought Kipling, Stevenson and Forester were superiour writers and Galileo and William James were superior thinkers. Short stories were excellent by many but masterpieces by Chekov and Joyce. I wanted to be Bradburys best friend. Hegel is impossible, half of modern philosophy is a waste of time! Knowing something about great men, you know they all lack something. Sometimes it's not apparent who is great in their time because most men lack farsightedness! In the end, we worship talent and success so that we make God's of those who teach us anything. And we ridicule those who make attempts at anything worthwhile thinking it's only for God's and Heroes. What is the average man you ask? The one who claims he knows the difference.
Make me a black and white movie 🍺
