Wow! So much wrong with this that I can’t get into all of the reasons. About half the writers on this list had illustrious careers, writing numerous wonderful novels. Just, no…

Guess I will be the first to commend you on autonrihg a terrific book. It was an adventure of mystery, suspense, horror, good vs evil, and heroic people fighting against the evil that truly does exist in this world. I could see this making a great movie. Has all the bells and whistles. Most of all it reveals Satan and his minions that exist and temp each one of us daily. So many try to say there is no Satan. They might think twice after reading this novel. Congratulations. Hope many get the word and read it.

I don’t type well enough to do this! I am ariafd I would spend hours deciphering my typos. Of course, indecipherable typing might still be an improvement. I love the idea though staying in character and not stopping for every little typo. But to turn off the monitor? I would be ariafd my hands would shift on the keyboard and I would end i[ yu[omh ;olr yjod@

Actually Consider Phlebas is the hardest of them all, I found. The otrhes are very engaging, and there’s no real need to read them in order. Try The Player of Games and or Use of Weapons. Note that Iain Banks with no M. is the same author writing non Culture novels with an occasional frisson of science fiction. Which leads to odd situations like people who eagerly read everything by one of the two names and little or nothing by the other.

Can I offer a suggestion for the sceubjt of a post?How about, advice I wish someone had given me earlier in life’.This thought is prompted by the fact that my neice is about to leave school and she’s having to make a few very grown up decisions. The same kind of decisions I had to make, and made rather badly, about thirty years ago.The following should give you some indication as to how helpful my advice is likely to be.So far I’ve written three posts. The first is about Mullah Nasruddin and decision making, the second is about vampirism in literature and the third is about Gottfried Leibnitz, God, the existence of evil and the question’Why is a duck?’.

Gone with the wind was not published posthumously. She died in 1949. The book came out in 1936, the movie in 1939.

Ummm… actually, Oscar Wilde wasn’t exactly a one hit wonder. The Importance of Being Earnest is a wonderful, classic play. Also, The Ballad of Reading Gaol is one of the greatest poems in the English language.

I have to disagree with Oscar Wilde being on this list. He wrote quite a few note-worthy pieces. For example: The Importance of Being Earnest, An Ideal Husband, The Canterville Ghost and The Picture of Dorian Gray. And this is only a fraction of the numerous contributions he made to the literary and theatrical world.
