==MtheGM. If you don't like it, don't read it.=====


Carol - if I hadn't read it once [just before I posted, for the 1st time, on purpose to see what all the talk was about, which left me as you will gather, perplexed — hence this thread] then I wouldn't have known I didn't like it, would I? As I clearly found that I don't, obviously I shan't read it again; so your remark was otiose, & perhaps a trifle over-aggressive, if you don't mind my saying so (or even if you do).

Mind you, I do thank you for your analysis in your last post: I found it a reasonably convincing exposition of why some people admire it; tho must repeat it doesn't work for me - I find it wilfully, whimsically, almost cock-snookingly (or should that be snook-cockingly?) slight: inadequate in what Eliot called the "objective correlative".
