why do so many people think sexuality cant be talked about! i love sex visit my page bO

[theMAXILOPEZpsycho]

what a guy! he really doesn't let you down seeing him in the fleash does he?

I wouldn't worry about his current readership. I couldn't be more certain he'll pass on to future generations. Yep Hemingway, fitzgerald etc are pushed by the academic/literary world, but there'll always be some youngsters who deliberately seek out miller...for the simple reason that there isn't much from the 20th century that matches him in terms of quality.

[shimokita2]

@theMAXILOPEZpsycho I had no idea that Miller was so enamored by the Japanese. Did he spend time living or studying in Japan?

My wife is a Vietnamese Buddhist and speaks Pali {the liturgical language of the Buddhist temple}. She would have set old Henry straight and he would have conceded {as he was a reasonable soul}, and placed all depictions of the Buddha in a more appropriate room.

People would leave comments if we were a literate society, but of course we're not. Someone mentioned J.K. Rowling in an earlier post. She is a brilliant marketer, but also a sign of the times we live in. We have 'authors' now, not writers in the real sense. A real artist's aim in life is not to make you comfortable. But today's literature is like junk food - convenient but with little or no substance.

[procommenter]

Yet, ironically, in this computing age, information has never been cheaper nor more accessible. Hundreds of millions of folks are typing (usually badly) on a daily basis.

this footage is incredible!

where did it all come from? and is there anything after the new york clip?

[sisterdiggins]

Thanks for posting these!

I read Miller when I was pretty young and sometimes it rubbed off on me and other times did not.

But I loved reading much of his later work and about his bathroom.

It is so great to finally see this!

Thanks a million!

I guess I meant that he's too vulgar for the typical school curriculum. He's never 'assigned reading' in either high school or college. About your generation and reading; I think there's too much pandering going on, too many literary genres for every age group. When I was a kid, I was forced to read Jules Verne, Issac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. Now kids have their own writers; Philip Pullman, Christopher Paolini, Orson Scott Card and dare I mention... J.K. Rowling!

[cropfrop]

Miller changed my life

[cassyvetas]

Miller's not read much today, not by the young folk anyway. I suppose he's considered too vulgar, still. Sad. When I think of the "Lost Generation," I don't think of Hemingway or Fitzgerald, I think of Miller.

"Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies". Gurdjieff taught that each person perceived things from a completely subjective perspective. Gurdjieff stated that maleficent events such as wars and so on could not possibly take place if people were more spiritually awake. He asserted that people in their typical state were unconscious automatons, but that it was possible for a man to wake up and experience life more fully. Thanks wiki
