Left to Right:

“Bellow is so much more elegant…”

**********

“Perhaps, but Roth is so real, and vital; I don’t imagine anyone else can voice a character like he does.”

**********

“Boo. I’m from Chicago, I choose Bellow.”

**********

Silently, to himself: “Heathens! I’ll lay odds none of them has read Voltaire in the original French!”

**********

“Elegance? it’s Fitzgerald in a class by himself.”

**********

“Yes. I thought so, and then I read Waugh and was so moved I went out and bought a new wardrobe to match that ‘England between the wars’ vibe. Cost me a small fortune, so I started waiting tables after work…”

**********

“Oh, come on. If you must search for elegance on that tongue than read Oscar Wilde, there is no better. Otherwise head to the continent and pick up some Proust.”

**********

Silently, to himself, “Ugh, these people! I can’t wait to curl up with some low-brow fiction tonight.”

**********

“Pay no mind to how long the book is, DeLillo is worth the investment in time. Besides, you’ll be lost in the storytelling and won’t notice the hours flying by.”

**********

“Wallace was the same for me. I read the opus several times, even backwards and sideways and never found it tedious.”

**********

Silently, to himself: “Am I the only one in here that would rather watch a ballgame on T.V.?”
