What is your favorite novel? Why?

 

[artistgonewyld]

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”


I like your quote, as an artist, and as a fan.

Are you into Firefly?

What is your favorite novel? Why?

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens...love him.


"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

'It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.'"


Great writing, great story...I cry every time I finish it.


Second choice, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCuller.--Oops forgot to answer why...again, well written. The irony of everyone's loneliness...how they shared that trait...along with various feelings of despair...very touching


How 'bout you, Artist?

The Tale of Two Cities is good but i've always had trouble with Dickens trying to preach too much. I've read most of his works and am always forced to sit up and say, "what?" I think he is a prime example of the stronghold of Victorian Lit.

McCullers is great. I absolutely adore Southern Lit and she is one of the best. I recently reread her collection of short stories, "Seven," and it is amazing.

I adore Southern Lit, Wright, O'Connor, Walker, and so many others. As a Southern writer myself, I might be slightly biased. LOL.

As for my favorites, I am a huge Hemingway fan, and I love the Expatriates. The Sun Also Rises is my favorite novel.

I would love to hear your thoughts on McCuller and Hemmingway? Can you continue to impress me? LOL.

I have read some of the older southern writers...Eudora Welty...I like Hemingway....The Old Man and the Sea...I love stories about humanity...raw and exposed...the human condition. I like Tennessee Williams....Of Human Bondage...Somerset...love Dicken's Great Expectations....ooh, Of Mice and Men...I really love the classics...I could go on and on!. Poe...love him....of course, To Kill A Mockingbird....read War and Peace...all the characters confused me...

Welty was harsh but beautiful. Her language is crisp and powerful. She epitomises Southern Writer's. Hemingway is the perfect writer, clear, focused, beautiful. I love reality with surrealism... Tennessee Williams is good but his short stories are dense. I'm not into Dickens a whole lot, but I respect his contribution. He just wants to illicit a message too much. According to Henry James, fiction should be based in reality but should contruct a world outside of reality, and then connect the two. Dickens wants his world to be better and he tells stories that make people want the same thing. I love Steinbeck, especially Grapes of Wrath, but mice and men is good too.

The classics are beautiful, truly. All art follows in their steps and we are beholden to them. There are so few artists left, so an appreciation and passion for them is a must.

All life is passion, it's just many choose to ignore that fact. Passion creates art, and art creates the world.
