Yes I do. Some I have read a few times: On the Road, The Man With The Golden Arm, Huckleberry Finn, A Clockwork Orange, A Confederacy Of Dunces, I could go on and on. I mostly re read fiction I enjoyed.
A friend suggested me to read On the Road. Is it a good reading?
I absolutely love it, but I feel like you need to have been born at a certain time and place to appreciate it. I think you either love it or hate it. I think Truman Capote said "that's not writing, it's typing." I disagree.
What he wrote initially and what was published was different.
Especially the names, and they cut out a bunch.
Have you seen his scroll? Its epic!
Probably a photo years ago. I knew it was edited.
He would have had to use a typewriter for all of it.
I just find that amazing!
I'm old enough to have submitted college papers that I typed!
Doesnt it mess with your ocd when stuff doesnt line up?
One letter is raised above the rest? lol
My father collected them, I used to use them often.
Its really interesting how he initially wrote the book.
I enjoyed Huckleberry Finn, and Tom Sawyer!
Is a Clockwork Orange by Le Carre?
No, no. Anthony Burgess. Stanley Kubrick also made it into a great film.
Oh right, that is where I recognize the name.
I have heard of the movie, but I havent watched it yet because I wanted to enjoy the book first!
Do you ever dabble in science fiction or fantasy?
You ever revisit a classic you enjoy?
