Thank you. Have you read anything by this author? He seems to also have written a novel called
The Old Man and the Sea. Metallica might have used that as an inspiration for "The Thing That Should Not Be":
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one

Yep! Hemingway's often required reading in U.S. junior high/high schools, at least in their advanced English programs (*ahem*
). Try "A Farewell to Arms" - nicely heart-wrenching.

Currently on Nick Hornby's 'How To Be Good'
I find it excellent and goes someway to explaining the female/male psyche. Men and women should never. live together

I'm trying to work out whether this is a comment on my failed attempt at sarcasm that got disarmed by Sinny's benevolence, or just a continuation of the literary turn of this thread.

In the case of Clucking Belle, I was under the impression that he just writes 100 posts and then adopts a new board persona.

Now that was funny. Isn't it always the case, though?

Clucking Belle was the third incarnation of this *person* that I have known since I started posting here. The Bell does toll for him at that magical 100th post.
BTW CB, how was the far east?

Dear Belle clucked himself off to China. And it looks like he clucked himself back to London to take his last gasp. Or maybe he just became Peking duck....LOL
