Uhmm, well, deep fried clams are good so ya, okay.
Nutella?
I haven't actually tried it, but I like hazelnut. Aye?
Rice crispy squares?
Aye, with chocolate on top or without.
Nanaimo bars?
Never tried them, but they look to be worth emigrating to Canada for.
How about Anne Rice?
Aye, I admit to being a fan of hers
Ayn Rand
Haven't read her but I'll err on nay for Rand (I do plan on reading her).
Anne Carson?
I met her a few times in New Orleans, DM. I read the vampire books in those days. Okay, she's not Faulkner, but (like John Kennedy Toole), Rice slips by my filters as pre-Katrina zeitgeist.
And Clopin, I give you preemptive absolution for throwing Atlas Shrugged in the trash after the 20th page, too. You'll like the message but, my God, the style!
And Ann Carson looks amazing. I'll have to read her.
Louisiana?
Haha I like that you can live vicariously through encouraging other people to start books and not finish them! I was going to read The Fountainhead or Anthem instead of Atlas Shrugged anyway.Quote:

Southern Gothic literature
Haha ya DM I think I recall you being the lone assenting voice in an Ayn Rand thread from awhile back.
I'll leave your question on Southern Gothic for someone more qualified than 'not at all' to answer.
That wasn't meant as a put down, DM. Obviously one reads what one loves and disregards antiquated snarks like me.
Aye to Southern Gothic. If you like it, check out a somewhat forgotten writer called William Gay. Good, weird, disturbing Southern Gothic. Early Cormac McCarthy, too. And of course Faulkner.
Post-Apocalyptic novels?
Haha oh I know and I am aware of the fact that I am in a small minority who doesn't find Rand unbearable to read.Quote:
