I preferred science fiction and fantasy while I was at school ... the
stuff I was assigned to read at school seemed to be a waste of time.
****d Lunch by William S. Burroughs was particularly repugnant. I'll
never give it another go just to see if it had improved in some way,
and I hope it's never made into a movie. If it already has been made
into a movie, I've blocked it out of my tiny brain. Yikes! I used to
collect books by the old Borscht Belt comedians. It saddens me that
for the most part, they're gone. I should have a point to make here,
but I see that I don't. Maybe we just read what we like and watch what
we like, and hope we run into *something* that truly engages us ..
that was Highlander for longer than I care to admit. Now I'm on the
hunt for something else.
