@benshapiro "Stunning" is the most overused word in the media. Don't you read a book a day?

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@benshapiro We all know Ben's, and his family's, long record of military service. It makes sense why he would say this.

@ZaleskiLuke He will never pay attention to you Luke...

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

I think writers, and artists more generally, have way too high an opinion of their importance.

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

Has anyone read Theodore Dreiser?

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@PollsNOpinions1 I don't care

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@The_Bookchemist If it were May, I'd say Cormac McCarthy

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@The_Bookchemist I recently watched you video on Postmodern lit. I was wondering what you thought of Carlyle's Sartor Resartus as it relates to Postmodern literature.

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@Bylrweltmann @theoneginevra Dubliners is great but the high modernists are just so full of themselves. They should have been in the circus with their ability to write legibily with their heads that far up their own asses.

@Josie_heree Steinbeck. The poor man's author

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@lhallwriter Dubliners by Joyce
East of Eden by Steinbeck
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsksy

Boring, I know.

@a_verygood_name I'd love to walk in a parking lot without smelling people smoke weed, too. You're onto something here.

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

I overextended myself for the month of June.

@elonmusk The taste of salmon is why God created fish oil supplements

Now out Father's oft were naughty boys.
For pikes and guns are dangerous toys.
From Bearna Baol at Bunkers Hill
We made poor England cry her fill,
But old Britannia loves us still!

@GhostKasu Yes but I would have much less to write about

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

@emmasaurustex Fawlty Towers or Monty Python's Flying Circus?

[R.P. Redridge @RPRedridge]

I have started doing a two-minutes hate for a different subject every single day. I believe if adopted nationally, it could seriously reduce the SSRI consumption of the United States.

The American experience is one that has a foot in the past and a foot in the future. We wrestle with the fact that we have destroyed cultures and gone to the moon. It is both tragedy and triumph.

Any thoughts?
