lopokova was a better dancer. keynes was better at maths.

God, who else but Virginia Woolf Maynard Keynes?

E.M. Forster! Woolf was great, but Forster's writing was more likeable and (sometimes) funnier. Plus he never called anyone underbred.

Before I even read the responses so far I was like "This will inevitably turn into Woolf versus Keynes."

Woolf, though. Keynes was better at math and in roundabout ways I guess did more for the world at large, but Woolf has touched my soul, mannn. Seriously, she's my favorite author by a fair margin, and would get my vote in almost any poll that could be constructed with her in it.

Woolf understood the awesome of being alone, so she gets my vote.

I mean intense lyricism and stylistic virtuosity are all very well but...

i am intrigued who voted desmond maccarthy. i don't even know if he wrote any books! he was literary editor of the new statesman in the '20s. beyond that i dunno. i forgot to vote but leonard woolf is probably my guy here.

Reading Hermione Lee's Woolf bio a few months persuaded me to check him out; he was the equivalent of Louis Menand.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 23:17 (eighteen years ago)

two months pass...

i just saw the first half of andrew davies's so-called adaptation of 'room wit a view': worst shit ever, fucking kill this guy.

I've given up on Andrew Davies' shtick - boring adaptations with attempts to enliven the pace through a few flashes of bare flesh at regular intervals.
