He's entertaining but not a good author, hope this helps.

You're entitled to your opinion for sure and maybe you're even right. All I was saying was that he was a more important human than you or me. Like he had a positive impact on the world.

We used to have a book recommendation thread in GBS. That was cool.

Anyone know any quality, researched historical fiction ? Mika Waltari is pretty good, but I read everything

i tried to read a james joyce book once. when i started looking up words i didnt know i found out that he would just loving make up words sometimes without explaining what they meant. so, mixed in with all this archaic irish slang i obviously wasnt familiar with was the occasional fake word. that was such incredible bullshit that it still kind of irritates me decades later.

No way, come on. No editor would let that pass

Shakespeare made up hundreds of words while writing, many of which we still use today. Lewis Carrol made up like 5.

Isn't english supposed to be one of the richest languages with a lot of words. What kind of hipster idiot needs even more "unique" words ?
