Brian, maybe Henry Miller would be more familiar than Frank Harris for that joke? (Good joke).

You may be right, Roger, but the problem is, did Henry Miller do any serious screwing in London?

Anyway, back to Frank Harris:

Bambi/The Deer Hunter

Damn! They're films, not books! That's why I posted them on (and then removed them from) the other thread.

Have I forgotten to take my pills today?

Bambi is a book, is it not?

Yes, "Bambi" is a book, but "The Deer Hunter isn't." On the other hand, do they know that at the Washington Post?

Your own pairing might perhaps have the comment "Put out more fags" ...

No, I don't think so. My son just read Gatsby in high school. Or spark-noted it, I should say. (Yes, that's a verb now.)
