    Agree Ginny, Ellen asked me somewhere what I thought would've happened if Barbara had refused to marry NB and I said I thought she would have been ousted from the movement and become a good novelist.

    Green Eggs and Ham? He shoulda picked Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day. Great book and they are making a movie of it.

    But but but - in matters of scientific fact, you do not have the right to make the mistake of adopting a minority opinion, to the detriment of others'lives!

    When are you gonna hang though? In the afterlife as well this one? I am starting to see you as a heretical Calvinist.

    And Michael, I| think you will agree that a great novel is a not-long-enough story. All my re-reads above, I yearned so for the story to continue and know what happened to everyone, I made up my own continuations. Richler in fact resurrected Duddy later, maybe by popular demand. Montgomery had to continue her characters until she was sick and tired of them. Thackeray as we know, wrote in desperation to a deadline,

    My current re-read list Vanity Fair - Thackeray Rilla of Ingleside - Montgomery - The Praise Singer -rRenault Apprenticeship of Duddy |Kravitz - Richler Death of an old Goat = Barnard(this is an excellent mystery that will also delight anyone who likes to see academia and the whole continent of Australia hilariously skewered)

    Thanks Michael! Continuing subjectively, there are action/adventure stories, love stories, mystery stories and horror stories. The best writers of course transcend or blend these categories, Jane Austen for example, often consigned to the "romance" shelves, is sometimes said to have written the first mystery story in English.

    A novel is just a longish story.

    Ddl, voracious reader is the only criterion for being a queen bee in discussing novels! The history and evolution of the novel is a big subject for academic litterateurs, and they have been fretting over it forever, and nowadays with dropping sales and shifting forms, the "literary novel" is in imminent danger they think. So they heap the prizes on the most "literary" they can find, circling the wagons. Genre novels like Atlas, still sell fine. Just my $.02 CDN

    "What will objectivists be when they grow up" could be the most fascinating endnote to your book. You can interview Brant for it!

    Miche, please! I know you and Doug have had issues ever since Staff Appreciation Nite, and I know it was not you lap dancing Randy Carlyle, but you do kind of resemble Joff Lupul and I am not the only one who made that mistake. We have to work together for individual liberty now and forget this personal stuff. Gord

    Gord, That is the second time that Doug has said I am a jersey chaser, just because |I would not go out with his jerk cousin, and if he says it again I will have to say he is a sexist pig and not a true Leaf fan, and should not be working with us and will you back me up? Your bud Michelle

    Stating my approximation of your belief, not my own. I find many weeds beautiful.
  22. caroljane
    Doug, I understand your position here, but I do not date goons or even pretend date them as you ought to know when you tried to fix me up with your cousin from the |Hamilton Bulldogs. Maybe you could get him to step up. M.

    Just FORGET IT Guys, I can meet all the NHLers I want without going on stilts and putting on a foot-high wig. and I don't even care about \Obama one way or the other, isn't he American? I am all for a fun day out and team building and I hope this will not damage our good working relationhip but the answer is NO. Michelle

    What happens to the few people who are mugged by the even fewer white muggers? What do they give up?
