Have you read Pale Fire? *NM* Rebekah - 03/07/2010 12:14:56 AM 506 Views

Is it unfinished? I seem to recall that, but I could be mistaken... *NM* Missa Sedai - 03/07/2010 02:15:07 AM 514 Views
No. You are thinking of his "novel", The Original of Laura. Tom - 03/07/2010 06:40:09 PM 913 Views
Pale Fire is an excellent novel, particularly if you like making fun of Robert Frost. Tom - 03/07/2010 06:39:29 PM 925 Views
I've always planned on reading it. Vodalus - 04/07/2010 06:30:31 PM 879 Views

The Aeneid, the Iliad, the Odyssey, and Macbeth come to mind. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/07/2010 02:29:13 AM 554 Views
I really didn't like Macbeth. Rebekah - 03/07/2010 12:12:15 AM 1000 Views

Wow. That read enough like Tom that I had to check to make sure it was you. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/07/2010 11:57:26 PM 506 Views
Yeah, it did kinda read like that Larry - 03/07/2010 12:00:17 AM 1084 Views

Heh. I suspected you would. Nice quote. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/07/2010 09:50:55 PM 524 Views
Asking me who I am? Are you kidding? *NM* rebelaessedai - 05/07/2010 07:50:53 AM 495 Views

And you make me want to cover my ears Larry - 05/07/2010 07:57:12 PM 997 Views
Not sure why you're saying that.. @my - 05/07/2010 08:16:05 PM 1186 Views
I just don't ever want to hear you sing Larry - 05/07/2010 08:36:51 PM 944 Views
I'm a literary snob? Really? Cool! Vodalus - 03/07/2010 12:23:55 AM 963 Views

Easy. The Mahabharatha... fionwe1987 - 02/07/2010 11:55:27 PM 979 Views
Don't tell Roh. Rebekah - 03/07/2010 12:13:57 AM 903 Views

Ahhh... One of my favorites... fionwe1987 - 09/07/2010 05:24:55 PM 1333 Views
Re: Parva is not a translation of the MB, though, is it. It's a reinterpretation. Which is fine. Danae al'Thor - 09/07/2010 11:01:43 PM 1063 Views
It's spelled "Mahabharata". Tom - 03/07/2010 06:51:09 PM 923 Views
That's not how it is pronounced though... fionwe1987 - 03/07/2010 08:54:27 PM 982 Views
Traditional pronunciation vs. modern pronunciation Tom - 03/07/2010 09:47:52 PM 959 Views

Re: Ew. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 09/07/2010 08:57:03 AM 475 Views
Re: I should have read the thread before bothering to give my skimpy response! Danae al'Thor - 09/07/2010 08:26:35 AM 1213 Views
Re: Actually, I think those two letter would get an "hh". *NM* Danae al'Thor - 09/07/2010 08:25:57 AM 486 Views
Re: Yes, but at no point is that war a good thing. Danae al'Thor - 09/07/2010 08:24:57 AM 1183 Views
American Gods. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 03/07/2010 04:49:18 AM 491 Views
