I gave up going out to see movies years ago. I don't miss that experience at all. And I haven't gone to a play for even longer, but I miss that experience quite a bit. So plays.
Chimpanzes or orangutans?

Abstract expressionist art or Representative art?
Abstract expressionist art..not even close. Purely representative art is craft, not art.
Coleridge or Wordsworth?
Do your prefer Booker prize or Pulitzer prize? - in terms of taste.
They're both politically compromised, and the Booker becomes harder to discern since they started allowing American authors, but I've preferred the Booker's shortlists and finalists in the last 20 years. They definitely hit a home run when they gave Banville the prize for The Sea. He's the greatest English/Irish novelist since Woolf and Joyce.Quote:
