Ha. Amusing blog. Thanks for the link, Grace. I always like to go to sleep moderately amused.

Yea… seriously… I’m sure nowhere in that book did he mention Lohan’s breast or Paris’ big feet.. and they had the NERVE to give him a Nobel Prize!?!?!?!?! This is what is wrong with the world today!

I feel like the joke went way over everyone’s head on this one. Or maybe I just think differently (ie not as smart apparently). Either way, literature aside, this post made me laugh. Go Beet.

yes I was, Grace and Horse Marine,
although I correct the gentleman is a Swede,
and the thing I regret the most is that people are judged
many a time, for their nationality
in this case for being American,
when it’s well known that Americans excel in many areas
of intellectual merit, and not “only” of scientific quality.
But then it’s just my opinion on the subject,
and I’m not better than anyone else.

Horse Marine, I believe MambaX was talking about the link I posted, not the book…

no verdict here Horse Marine,
just an opinion,
and yes, I am a quick reader
and quick decision maker too,
it’s probably related to brain surgery training

Oh Grace, I gave it a quick read,
such european pseudo intellectual crap!

You gave it a “quick read” (how quick? 15 seconds?) and that was enough for you to reach the verdict that the 2008 Nobel prize for literature is a load of pseudo intellectual crap. Sweet Jaysus. What a mind you must have, woman! I envy you.

Erika, have you misunderstood me? I do not agree with Horace Engdahl’s comments. My first post was sarcastic, as I would have thought my second post made clear.

Unless you think I was being rude about the Nobel Prize Committee?

Everyone Poops?
LOL
I’d vote for that!
I suggest someone sends a copy onto the Norwegian gentleman.
Nice title!

as an European, I share the same view on the attitude
of the gentleman
and the credibility of the Institution,
and it’s not a matter that hasn’t already been discussed,
by scholars and experts in different areas.

Yes I concur with the above aforementioned…

…and might I add that the Nobel prize has historically overlooked such timeless American classics as “Horton Hears a Who” and “Everyone Poops”. Until these oversights are corrected we as Americans will stand as one united front!
