10. THE TEAM: tag some people:
Hi Steve, thanks for doing the tag, and your kind words. Be grateful that I did not do the video in Lycra.
One of my favorite opening lines to a book comes from a Thermodynamics Textbook:
"Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehfrenfest, carrying on the work, similarly died in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics."
You insist on airing our dirty laundry! You just can’t help yourself, can you?😉
Thanks for doing the tag, Steve. Really interesting responses.
I love Gavin's channel! Hope this will bring him more subscribers! :)
As a fellow lover of Martin Amis i shall endeavour to subscribe to Joe's channel.
New top 100 video por favor 🙏
The Tour de France is one thing - ask him if he's ever thought of (or marvelous!) done the Marathon du Medoc. At least he should be able to tell you about it so you drool the way I did. It's incredible
What's the hardest book that you've read - Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. Makes Naked Lunch read like Dr. Suess.
All the Light You Can Not See is such a story, thank you Steve!
all the Light we Cannot See is amazing. I was surprised that Doerr is a McCarthy fan, considering that Doerr's prose in that book is actually good. A little choppy, much like Ellroy in The Cold Six Thousand, but id rather have that than the run-on prose in Blood Meridian, which just makes me sick to be stomach
Is it possible that publishers are starting to go electronic for galleys? I ask as an outsider and out of ignorance, but it seems like a way to be economical.
