you now realize that guy in those beer commercials is based on hemingway

I don't think any authors lead interesting lives.

All their writing is influenced by just being boring normal everyday people.

>Lord Byron

Poe was interesting

He married either a cousin or niece

Died a drunk

The Hemingways were based on Testosterone, Alcohol, Cross Dressing, and Suicide.

Ted Hughes had two wives commit suicide, both in the same manner. His second wife dressed in the clothes of his first wife. The second wife killed the couple's 4 year old daughter as well.

At one point, both the first wife and the second wife lived in the same house at the same time with Hughes.

His son by the first wife committed suicide within the last year.

Hughes received the first wife's suicide letter in the mail, rushed to her house to find her, and found her still alive. He left to go have sex with a third woman (who was neither the first wife or the second wife). The first wife committed suicide immediately after he left.

another brilliant post by stag. this is certainly the type of valuable information the op created this thread for. as usual, we are all bowled over by your blinding insight, sir. bravo. compelling and rich.

>>1480461
i was thinking of making a topic about it but then OP already had a hemingway topic with this kind of stuff. I learned it in my World Civ 2 Honors class yesterday or today I can't remember.

I think his last wife (4th or 5th? if he had 5) was a high school girl from Paris he brought the Keys

He had impotence with his 1st or 2nd wife, prayed (she was catholic) and had wild sex for days.

He slept with many many women, even when he was married (like he had a mistress in the house with one life).

Killed animals everywhere

>>1480445
Yes, he married his 13-year-old cousin.

Oooooh, check out dem trips. You know that noone lived up like Byron. Prove me wrong bitches.

>>1480444
go on

>>1480480
It is a sign of intelligence. Why else would they name it Honors?

>>1480488
He slept with everybody. Possibly even his own sister.

>>1480494
You now realize that Honors courses are simply normal level classes and that the so called normal classes are for the retards. Ask your teacher what the difference is, they'll simply say that Honors just works through (basically) the same material faster. AP is for responsible, hard working, intelligent youths.

>>1480742
If they work through the same material faster than we wouldn't have to go to school all year.

I can see why AP is out of your reach.

Bram Stoker was a theatre agent and there was a fairly interesting bit in his biography about him fleeing plague ridden London with his mother when he was a child and nobody would take them in in case they had it.

I'm sure Bukowski's life was intersting but I'm not sure I'd want to know the details. *shudder*

William Burroughs. The way he "accidentally" shot his wife in the head by shooting an apple off her head à la William Tell then he had to flee and live in Tijuana or someplace.

He made up some shit. But most of what you've read pretty much covers it all.

Kerouac too I guess. Also, Kathy Acker because she used to do porn.

Snooki's life is full of all kinds of fucked up shit.

Flannery O'Connor taught a chicken to walk backwards and battled lupus (call Dr. House) for much of her adult life.

Tao Lin was on the internet for 14 hours at a single sitting
