I agree and will add this.
Rand had that Russian talent for using 60 words where 5 would do.

Yeah, funny. After loving Russia for decades. Nothing to do with Trump beating Clinton, I’m sure.

Which is why I do not read the vaunted Russian authors.
It has nothing to do with comprehension (99%ile in English).

Dr. Zhivago has that wonderful scene where Zhivago comes home from war to find his house full of strangers, courtesy of the local Communist Party.

That’s when there was a modicum of civility, real talent and class by those who wrote books.
What have we read lately?

“Zhivago was more of a popular phenomena than a literary on”
Someone explain what “literary quality” is.
I haven’t read Lolita but am curious why it’s considered by many as a literary masterpiece.

John Gault hasnt created an about page. Man, remember when folks in here spent time/energy on their profile pages ?
Then along came eight interminable years of that execrable negro seeding .gov with traitors of the deep state, and now what you typed above in jest has become the rule.
It's understandable, but sad nonetheless.

Read all three of them. Then. I doubt if I could plow through them now.

Well, not really. After all, she did get together with George Peppard. I mean, Fred.

My favorite line in Galt’s speech is at the end where he says something like, “I’ve now been speaking to you for just under an hour.” First time I read that, I thought “wait a minute, I’ve been reading this speech forever,” so I started flipping back through the pages to see how long it had been going. I defy anybody to read that out loud in less than an hour. It cracks me up every time I read it.

Not sure that “wonderful” is the right adjective. It certainly illustrated where a third term for Obama might have taken us.
