They're crazy out there. In Columbus, things aren't so insane. Although, I really did want him to step out. That kind of mood.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14363867140919109904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437448.post-24558475191029100972007-04-24T15:40:00.000-04:002007-04-24T15:40:00.000-04:00I almost got into a fight with a garbage truck driver in Cambridge because I dared to cut too near his truck while walking. I wanted to yell, "You do realize its a dump truck, right, with varieties of garbage, ugly green paint, and enought dents to keep a chain of body shops in business?" I just cursed instead.<BR/><BR/>The person with The Sound and The Fury review was pretty funny though - between reading that in high school and As I Lay Dying in college, there are at least 20 hours of my life that I will never get back. Of course Faulkner doesn't care, because he 1) won the Nobel Prize and 2) is dead.Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437448.post-31144397927747146052007-04-23T21:39:00.000-04:002007-04-23T21:39:00.000-04:00Thanks Sarah. I needed that link. I guess I should actually feel bad for an author who hovers over Amazon reader reviews. Book sales must really suck. I'm considering rewriting my review.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14363867140919109904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437448.post-28075966589593244982007-04-23T20:52:00.000-04:002007-04-23T20:52:00.000-04:00Have you seen the <A HREF="http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/reviews/lone_star_statements.php" REL="nofollow">One-Star Amazon Reviews of Classic Literature</A> page, btw?Sarahhttp://neutralzonetrap.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437448.post-515267746077713862007-04-23T14:14:00.000-04:002007-04-23T14:14:00.000-04:00I wanted to more than anything.

NYT Books I can see getting all upset about, but most Amazon reviews are written by people who can barely read, never mind write. (Present company excluded, of course.)<BR/><BR/>Repost it.Clamnoreply@blogger.com
