tina ballerina. there's no "huh?" about it. i'm irked that i went to all the trouble to buy and read what i thought was the definitive word on goethe, and now i find it's obsolete. frown. sometimes you just one definitive book on a subject. and one goethe biography is enough for anybody. i think.

I disagree. I think it's best to have many different perspectives.

After all, if I agreed with the only Diana biography... I would still believe her to be a naive, pure and harmless individual.

kaleidoscopes are good. but sometimes one just wants one catholic book on a certain subject.

can anyone be pure and harmless who staged that martin bashir interview?

Rosanna said...

certainly not!
