You're right Petey.

A title ran through my brain: Bible for the Disenchanted. No, no good. I remembered some of the best titles. I mean, of other writers. Bow Down to Wood and Stone. Great title, lousy writer. Notes from the Underground. Great title. Great writer. Also, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Carson McCullers, a very underrated writer. Of all my dozens of titles the one I liked best was Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live with Beasts. But I blew that one away on a little mimeo pamphlet. Too bad.

Ahhhh!

Thank you Petey and hank solo.

 

[Bukfan]

Yes, thank you ROC, Petey and hank solo! So that's where Buk said it. I'm glad you could clear that up!

 

[Composer]

Actually, he said to himself, "I think I'll give this book some meaningless title, and the scholars and intellectual wannabes will get all twisted trying to find a meaning that isn't there."

 

[Bukfan]

...and they're still twisted!

You're all so sure of yourselves but you won't take the time to read the book.
Read chapter 51, pages 229 (at the bottom) through 230. (Published by Harper Collins).

benjamin319 you're so right. Everyone should have read the book before commenting. Allow me to apologize on behalf of everyone. We're sorry, it won't happen again.

I'll have to pick up a copy of the book. Who did you say published it, HarperCollins? Thank you.

This must be that "sarcasm" thing that I keep hearing about. :D

I learned it from some kids in the neighborhood. I blame them. They live way up behind the school by the woods. You don't know them.
