Indeed. I was just thinking what is an experience and do we in life go through the same experience only with different people.
It is all about persepective. Just because one says is boredom it does not mean it is for another.

Interesting.
So the book is the reality and the dream is what you keep for you.

The old men, before Mussollini, used to sing to the red-shirts of Garibaldi, opponents of fascism. I wrote several stories about the subject connected with Argentina and my favorite pychologist, R. D. Laing. To me the subject was always funny and I liked Garibaldi and the many that tried to imitate him.

A Tale Told by an Idiot

A Tale Told by an Idiot

Wow. If it is a tale then it could not be an idiot.

[Pierre Menard]

Wow. If it is a tale then it could not be an idiot.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing. — Macbeth


:wink5:

Hi Pierre Menard.
Ah. The sound and the fury.
A book I was bestowed upon at uni and one that I did not take a shine to.
To find it lurking in the shadows of a shakesperain play is most entertaining.
I begin to find a way to link something to another.
Thank you for posting this it is most illuminating.
Forgive if I explain it my way but I can only be true to me.
Over the years I have come to realise that as a linguist one is bound to clash with other fellow readers who find beauty and resonnance with the likes of Shakespeare and Faulkner. As English is my second language I can only go with words language and how I perceive the meanings to be for me.

I think I tend to take words with their face value and so I feel that an idiot cannot express oneself properly hence the name. For him to write a tale then he must have exceeded his title and merits a different better one like a story teller.
I have yet to come across an idiot down a road with tale on his hand.
Bearing in mind that a tale has a beginning middle and end and comes together to make a story that makes sense. Hence the word tale/story/book.

The sound and the fury reminds me of the Fast and Furious movie.
I have to admit I did laugh out loud at the title.
I cannot imagine someone to be both fast which usually indicate speed with furious which means angry. I try to put the two together to imagine one doing just that and I really frankly could not. It is too random scatty and impossible frankly.
Try and run ie be fast and be furious at the same time see if you can manage it.
If I were to describe someone furious the words that would come to mind would be yelling shouting kicking and destroying and throwing things randomly.
A sound is usually something less obstructive a bit more subtle like the sound of the clock.Tick Tock that is a sound. Or listening to a stream by a river, it is a sound that is soft and relaxing.
So again lingusitically sound fury idiot and tale just do not add up. They are too random put together.
That is my opinion.

Anyway sorry to go on but how does your post link with the OP?

[Kyriakos]

Well my (hopefully) to be made book-deal would be a collection of short stories which are (as is inescapable probably) about myself, although not about my actual environments.

Its title is The Crisis.

I have also given years ago a title to my 10.000 pages of diary, i titled it "from death to life".

[Raaksha]

'The girl and the dinosaur'

It will be sort of metaphysical in tone and in the style of nonsense-literature assumed to be written for children (see Lewis Carroll) and so the dinosaur will be a metaphor for life, and the girl, obviously, will be me. They'll go on adventures together and meet other creatures of metaphorical significance and such.

This is just off the top of my head i.e. it's 2.20am and I've drunk too much caffeine.

[russellb]

I have started writing a book about myself and i am calling it 'mental dis-integration.' This well describes my mental condition (being a mentalist and all) and it is my hope that i will, through writing it, make some money and escape the welfare net so many mentalists are caught up in. Also i hope that i will contribute something to the public understanding of mental dis-order in the UK (Step aside Stephen fry!) I prefer this term because it can be understood as a concrete expression of one's mental condition as opposed to the term 'mental illness' which is in essence an abstraction. One actually experiences 'dis-order.' The recently deceased psychiatrist Thomas Szasz understood well that the idea of 'mental illness' was an absurdity. On the other hand, i might call the book, 'The Antichrist,' that is if the powers of my (so called) delusions overcome me...

LOL Told is there to make you think you are slick. Without it, it could be in a library, by some idiot, next to.

Let me explain this:
if you had said ''a tale by an idiot'' then it is more euphoric because it means the idiot said it without telling it which impresses the idiocy or the fellany.
Language is flair sensitive nuances are there for a reason. One feels the language not just paste it for baking and hope it will crack under seasonimg.
Now if you are saying ''a tale told by whatever'' then just takes away the flippancy from the joke.
Be cause when we are told something we know we have been told in an authoritative manner hence the expression to 'told off''.

A Tail Told By A Dyslectic

dyslexia is one of the reasons why one should writes it helps get it out of the system too much reading and not enough outer expression can hinder it greatly.
nothing is unbeatable.
writing is one of the best medicine there is .
