Ronnie used my Twin and my buddy’s Super here 20 something odd years ago at the big Bluesfest. About a year later I was talking with a guy about guitar tone and great players. He said the best tone he!’s ever heard was Ronnie the previous year. I was like hmmmm.

This is why the majority of the walking dead American populace believe they went to the moon ( newsflash, THEY DIDN'T ), due to the deliberate predictive programming of " space travel " in sci-fi books, movies, tv shows since the birth of cinema.... Deluded pseudo-intellectuals....

I’ve read to my son nearly every night for his entire life. From the time he was just months old. From board books to early readers, classic storybooks and chapter books, we’ve read, I would imagine, well over 1000 books before bed. He’s now 9 and reads for pleasure, usually finishing 4 or 5 books a month. Having had a hand in developing his love for reading is one of my proudest accomplishments in life.

Paul Giammatti wrote the introduction for a wonderful book called ‘The Cone Gatherers’ by Robin Jenkins, a writer who lived locally to me. In fact, when Robin died, my parents were in talks to buy his house - we all went over, and the house was very old, almost wavy. I found a study room tucked away in the back, absolutely stacked to the ceiling with hand written and typed manuscripts. As an aspiring writer myself, it was a special moment, a kind of personal connection not privy to many others outside of his family. Was deeply privileged.

True story: I ran into Paul Giamatti at a book store on Vashon Island, WA in 2019. He was in the SciFi/Fantasy section with a group of friends. I looked him up afterwards and he has ties to Seattle. I didn’t say anything to him but he had a friendly atmosphere.

What is an example of postmodern literature?
@Michael-hw5wk7 ай бұрын
@@Phineas1626 Sorry, I haven't checked my comments. Examples of postmodern literature are the works of Jorge Luis Borges, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, etc. They are novels that play with the concept of time and reality but are different from magical realism novels which also have fantastical elements. A postmodern novel might be about a library that houses every novel that could possibly exist with every possible text or a protagonist that jumps backwards and forwards in time and/or space (but not through explainable methods which would make it sci-fi). There might be anachronisms and even well-read dogs who can speak and interact with actual historical figures (but again, without explanation). They generally play with our concepts of reality, time, and space while still telling a narrative.

@@Michael-hw5wk Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Now the genre makes perfect sense, to the point I’m nearly embarrassed I didn’t figure it out given the name. One more question-I saw something recently that got me very interested in Tolstoy. Do you think that English translations give credit to authors’ original works-that is to ask: would I get a feeling of just how good a writer’s native writing is? Thanks again.
@Michael-hw5wk7 ай бұрын
@@Phineas1626 Translations matter as some translators leave out entire passages or completely change the meaning of a sentence. I try to research the translations scholars/reviewers consider to be the best before purchasing a book, but cost can also be an issue. I read Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf as it was well-reviewed, and I believe the edition of War and Peace I purchased was well-regarded as well (at least, at that time). Accurate translations are also very important when it comes to religious texts as we have come to believe Moses parted the Red Sea when many translators believe a more accurate translation would make it the Sea of Reeds. Another example is that we assume Jesus to have been a carpenter when many modern translators believe a more accurate passage describing Jesus would be "Son of Joseph who worked with his hands," making it more likely he was a stone mason. If you read the intros to various translated books, you will often find examples detailing how the translator attempted to write a more accurate version than previous translations. I recently reread the Tao Ye Ching and The Bhagavad Gita and I believe both introductions covered the efforts made to create a better translation. However, some of us cannot always afford the "best" translation, so we make do with what we can access. None of this may be very helpful to you, but I'm very tired as I am writing this, so I possibly missed the point of your question completely. I do love Tolstoy though (not as much as Dostoevsky) and consider The Death of Ivan Ilyich to be my 3rd favorite work of literature after Hamlet and Withering Heights.
