Well ecaepevolhturt it certainly didn't teach you how to spell....
LOL. Spelling is something that I have to work on. I focus so hard on semantics possibly at the expense of grammar and spelling. I'm like a rapper except my turn of phrase is poor and unpoetic. Basically I can communicate with people but only in a crude way. Actually I think it's a stylistic thing rather than some kind of intellectual barrier. The consequence of absorbing so much late-nineties MTV. I'd prefer to be understood rather than correct. It's a good thing that I'm not a teacher, they need both.
I finished Under the Net and I felt dissapointed. She is good at writing but the novel didn't change me. It didn't teach me anything new. It didn't move me.
its the familiarity, the articulation of feelings in a dry / scientific or is that realism, just finished my first run through Acastos: Two Platonic Dialogue, knew so little going in I was waiting for an analysis of the play at the end, that is how i ended up here and other places - her work is very special
@@pamelaweil349 Thanks for replying. I'm envious that you got so much out of it. Do you think that a reader needs some prerequisite knowledge of philosophy (Socrates, Plato, etc). I did find some of the parts quite funny.
@@ecaepevolhturt Wow 9 year old comment! How've you been all these years? Do you still feel the same way about the novel?
