what is poteen? and what kind of box are you in? a bento box?

Poteen is Irish grain alcohol. It's kind of like Everclear, except it tastes good and doesn't burn nearly as bad, 180 proof.

It's a Viking box.

sounds good. I like potent booze with high flavor to burn ratios.

Too bad it's not a bento box. I like the variety.

I wish I could fit into a PEZ dispenser.

Hi I'm new to the forum but I've been using this site to help me with a lot of schoolwork. I wonder if works of William Faulkner's may be made available?

Still copyrighted, he died 1962 if I'm not mistaken. It takes 75? years after the writer died to make his work public domain. Said in a very simplified way.

Here's a curious question ... The lengthy list of forums for specific authors is quite comprehensive. Yet, William Faulkner seems to be missing.

He's not necessarily my all-time favorite, but I would have to place him in the top 20 authors of the 20th century.

I'm a newby so I don't know how an author is selected for this prestigious honor. Is there a petition or something?

Anybody have any thoughts?

Most of Faulkner's works were published post-1923, so, not in the public domain. Only authors whose works (or the majority of them) *are* public domain have their own specific forums.

Lots of discussions about him though
