"....he could have bought home Bouncing Black Bellies(and I don't mean hoops) by Bathhouse Barry, but he never got the title out because he stutters too much"
Guess they were out of How to Be A President for Dummies.
My response to six years of Obama: ”The horror! The horror!”
Obama is offering up all his Books from the good old USSR days
Heart of Darkness is a great novel, and one of my favorites . . . and it didn’t make me hate whitey.
This is the end!
I doubt O will ever read it... that would cut into his Sportscenter time. It's most likely just a shelf decoration.
Really? Does anyone think Obama has the mental capacity to read Conrad?
Every one Knows,
Obamy ‘s Favorite,
Pee Wees Big Adventure !
Good reading for Malaria and Sharia.
"....he could have bought home Bouncing Black Bellies(and I don't mean hoops) by Bathhouse Barry, but he never got the title out because he stutters too much"
This bit of descriptive genius...
"The sea-reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded together without a joint, and in the luminous space the tanned sails of the barges drifting up with the tide seemed to stand still in red clusters of canvas sharply peaked, with gleams of varnished sprits. A haze rested on the low shores that ran out to sea in vanishing flatness. The air was dark above Gravesend, and farther back still seemed condensed into a mournful gloom, brooding motionless over the biggest, and the greatest, town on earth."
And this reference to a fellow employee of the 'company', and the insanity of any large company, or army or government when it's whole is larger than the sum of it's parts, and it's parts are far too many.
"The business intrusted to this fellow was the making of bricks -- so I had been informed; but there wasn't a fragment of a brick anywhere in the station, and he had been there more than a year -- waiting. It seems he could not make bricks without something, I don't know what -- straw maybe. Anyway, it could not be found there and as it was not likely to be sent from Europe, it did not appear clear to me what he was waiting for. An act of special creation perhaps."
Conrad was a genius... Being Polish he didn't even speak English until he was in his twenties and he became one of the greatest English writers of all time. Long after Obama has been forgotten, Joseph Conrad will still be relevant.
Obama should also have picked up some Rosetta Stone language learning software to teach himself Austrian. It’s a beautiful language.
The fact that Obama has not even read this book just demonstrates how overblown his supposed intelligence is.
Heart of Darkness. Sounds like his biography.
