Are you kidding me again? I lurve spinach! Provided it's not overcooked. :thumbs_up:
Would you rather read Stephen King or Oscar Wilde at this very moment?
Hello no! I had not realized that people on the earth don't even know that Pensive is the queen of Neverland. :pQuote:

Same Question.
I've never had a portrait so I would gladly hang it in my room.Quote:

Wow, sisters! I'm a queen too! :p :p
I have no objection to it. I am a peaceful queen, not into fights. I am satisfied with my land, I need not to conquer other lands. So I remain on good terms with queens/kings of all worlds. :pQuote:

The current question is:
Who would you rather read right now: Stephen King or Oscar Wilde?
I hate war-loving royalties.
You have uttered Toni's fate! She is now reading Stephen King, by your suggestion. ;)
Would you rather be a hateful queen or a lowly peasant?
D-U-H. Stupid me.
Yeah, this skipping answers makes my head wobbly.
For your query:
I am now done with Stephen King for the mo' so off to Wildy Wilde now.
Would you read or write now?
As I usually do both daily, it's kind of a moot question.
Would you write a great review for an author's book if he promised you a free signed copy, even though you have already determined that the book stinks, but will in all likelyhood, become a best seller?
Like what everyone thinks of Paulo Coelho? His books are number 1's but reader-critics say that he's a born cliche. Even worst writer of all time! Although I have yet to read his books, but based on the reviews I've read, I don't think so. He's a born naturalist.
The answer to your query, Uncle Pen, is no. Why would I want to have an author's signature if I loathe him? :)
The same question....
It would depend on several factors, I suppose.
Monitary: Can I successfully negotiate a very small percentage of royalties?
Fame: Do I like the author, in general, such as Tom Clancy or Steven King?
Collectiblitiy: Is the author's autograph considered valuable?
Reciprocal Effect: Will the author consider writing a review for my book in return?
Politically Expedient: Will being associated with poorly-written best seller potentially damage my own reputation as a writer, hurting my own sales?
Flattery: Did the author have other options, but valued my opinion enough to come to me?
Sincerity: Do I happen to like the book, even knowing that others won't? Do I think its success will be justified?
These would all be factors, each with their own weighted values, that would probably come into play as I make my decision. Since this is hypothetical and we don't know at this moment who the author is or what the work is, I have no way of determining what course of action I would ultimately take.
But I wouldn't out-of-hand exclude the option!
New Question:
They say that everyone has a price (and it isn't always monitary.) How much of whatever would it take to get you to do something anti-social, immoral, illegal or violent? Assume, for the sake of this question, that consequences don't matter and that you will actually receive your "price".
That is a very difficult question, especially so with the wide scope that you've bound it to. I might have a much lower price for the illegal than for the violent (I'm quite a passive person, it's pathetic.) Then we would have to narrow things further to determine what sort of violence is at hand. Socking a guy in the nose, if he really deserved it, like Holden should have done, might be executed at a very reasonable price, compared to say armed robbery. Let's say the task is armed robbery then. My price is high: I knock over the liquor store down the street, with its $1200 on hand,and recieve in return the $25000 copy of Ioannis Francisci Pici Miranduale de morte Christi & propria cogitanda libri tres. Eiusdem de studio divinae & humanae philosophiae libri duo. by Pico della Mirandola that I've had my eye on.
Deal?
Same Question
Well. If we scratch "immoral" from the list, leaving "anti-social, illegal or violent", I am only human, as I have pointed out so many times. I do not know why members of the clergy like to present themselves as above temptation, or why people regard them as being that way, being a preacher doesn't make me divine. I have needs and things that I go through that I wish were gone, and that I would do almost anything to rid myself of that burden. My price is complete and total freedom from this accursed illness—no more pills, no more episodes, no more hospitalizations; back to work making an honest day's pay for an honest day's labor. You might find that a little selfish. You haven't lived my life for the past 12 years.
Pass the question.
I'm done with it. :)
Would you stay up all night to read a book and finish it or to stay up all night and write a poem and finish it? (No deadlines for both tasks.)
