'The Gambler'

FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY is a sleek, vigorously engaging author. His works stun our minds...they propel us out of our horrid doldrums.  I read his cunning little novel, 'The Gambler' recently.  The work has profound overtones.  It has the aura of what it is...i.e. a work of genius.

Jean Paul Sartre...The clever Soulnik

SARTRE remains a slick, clever guy oh Lord Yes.  When I feel odd I read the meandering but vigorously, terrific existentialism of the wild Frenchman, Jean Paul Sartre.  I know that the crafty tome of Sartre's entitled 'Being and Nothingness' is profane and yet a grand think piece on the contemporary human condition.  The poignant, mad piece de resistance 'Nausea' is also a bright, engaging and remarkable foray into the insane clever aspects of all us humans' lives.  Sartre proves a cunning delight just like the 'cool' Jean Paul Belmondo film way back there in 1959 and a part of that slick ethos of that particular time.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
