mate half of my family is irish/scottish; our entire cultural heritage is one of religious persecution, violent colonialism, political repression and alcohol dependence (not to mention our fucking genes).

Just ask d&e; he's still raging about the six counties.

>The only person I know who reads anything of worth is a Camusian hipster who actually wears a beret.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

Hitchen's doesn't hold a monopoly over those ideas. You're deifying him more than I am.

Capote may have been extroverted, but don't judge him by what drink did to him. Harper Lee was his best friend.

There is sufficient reason to doubt Lee's authorship, and that argument about how Capote has a different style is bullshit, just look at the differences between books like Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood.

Same shit with Percy & Mary Shelley and Frankenstein, except the evidence there for Percy's authorship is extremely persuasive.

The pages of my limited edition hardback bare the light scent of fine wood, and the crisp font looks so tasteful against the subtle off-white coloured pages.

It fits perfectly in the early 90's postmodernist section of my mahogany library.

well looky what we got here
