So, I have a list of authors here. It's a bit like Pokémon... Gotta catch them all.

Yes, even people with virtually no education have usually heard of Churchill and/or Kipling. *NM*

Why is that? Because the prize is utterly meaningless?

Don't put it on a list at amazon. Put it in the cart, then click on "purchase".

It's one of my favorite books of all time.

There's an ITV film of the book with Keira Knightley. It looks utterly appalling. *NM*

For what it's worth, the recent Russian miniseries wasn't fantastic.
