Also, I can remember studying Shakespeare in HS--Well, kinda,
it's been a
while--and the teacher saying, "Okay, what did Shakespeare
mean by this or
that?" My first thought, and it still is, Why did he have to
mean
something? Why wasn't he just trying to write something
entertaining, and
hope the reader enjoys it?
I think that's why I enjoy hardboiled stuff. Most of what you
read is
simply a story, with interesting, usually fun,
characters.
By the way, I've already stolen Boston Teran's "crabbed
across the floor."
So lock me up!!
