Wow.. the power of technology is truly remarkable. Rather than having to just read this speech (or any literary speeches for that matter) in my dull, boring textbook, I can leave my textbooks in my locker and now come on Youtube in less than 10 seconds to listen to the actual speech? You can find practically ANYTHING on here nowadays. I can't imagine how education will be 50 so years from now.

@RedWhiteGreenBandit It's a big call, Mr Bandit, but you may just be right. And bear in mind that Joyce, by his own admission, couldn't spin a yarn to save his life. His novels are meticulous reworkings of his own personal experiences; that's why after "Ulysses" he had nowhere to go but the subconscious nightworld of "Finnegans Wake". Proust, too, mined his own life and thought-world as the basis for his novel. Faulkner was not just a great stylist, but an incredibly fecund storyteller as well.
