Re: Randomness isn't enough to make a Shakespeare
I read about an attempt to see what happened when monkeys were given typewriters and paper. The monkeys held down one key for extended periods of time, urinated and defecated on the keyboards, and generally used they machines for purposes other than what they were designed for but they did not produ...

You should thank me for The Orville but it is doomed.
I was 11 years old on September 8th 1966 and I remember that date because of a television show I saw premier that night. The show was Star Trek and as far as I know that is the only television premier for which I remember where I was when I saw it. I was a fan and watched Star Trek 'religiously'. On...

Randomness isn't enough to make a Shakespeare
Penn Jillette recently commented that he likes the theory that a monkey and a typewriiter, given an infinite amount of time, would reproduce the entire works of William Shakespeare.
Sorry but that is not correct.

Re: Does anyone have an idea for how we can have an awesome fiction discussion?
I have attached a ranking of 26 fiction books discussed on BookTalk.org over the years. By far, the most discussed book was Conrad's, The Heart of Darkness with 681 replies. However, I believe its number one ranking is not valid as that discussion included students, not just BT members.

Re: Does anyone have an idea for how we can have an awesome fiction discussion?
In order to generate discussion there must be something interesting, perhaps provocative, to discuss. Symbolism is also a major impetus to robust discussion. I have provided a few brief quotes from Chesterton's The Ball and the Cross as examples of both. Chapter II has provocative points regarding t...

How About discussing The Ball and The Cross . It is available free of charge: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5265/5265-h/5265-h.htm Chesterton does it again with another great work of thoughtful fiction. This time its a dispute between two Scotsmen, a Roman Catholic , and an atheist , whose fanatic...

Re: Obituary of James George Frazer / test pdf file viewing
From my limited reading of the subject, I do know there are legitimate problems with Frazer's work and I also know that Bible literalists like to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to Frazer. But as I mentioned he was one of the first to include organized religion in his comparativ...
