So if freak casts tiebreaker votes, does that mean he has agreed not to vote in the polls?

No. It means he just became the most powerful man on this message board.

President of jazzfanz, if you will.

Whisky, are you familiar with the literature of Gene Wolfe? He's a Catholic author whose faith heavily features in his work. As an atheist, I find most popular religiously inclined authors a bit boring and tedious (C.S Lewis for example). But Wolfe is absolutely amazing, and I count him among my favorites.

I've never read him, but I'm going to now. I've fallen in love with literature the past few years. Out of curiosity, what do you think of Graham Greene?

Do you have any works of Gene Wolfe that you would recommend?

I'm going to read his books because of his mustache alone!

Not only am I unable to argue with that line of reasoning, but I almost want to read his stuff as well.

The Book of the New Sun series is a must, starting with the Shadow of the Torturer.

It is interesting you bring up Greene. He is the antithesis of modernism in literature, and I ****ing LOVE modernists. I specially like James Joyce, whom Greene despises.

I'd say he's an interesting fellow. I enjoy straight forward writers who emphasize simple structure and wording, instead focusing on the complexity of ideas and plot lines. I don't think Greene is quite on the same level as Hemingway, but The Quiet American is a masterpiece, and a number of other works are intriguing, such as The End of the Affair. The Third Man is also a great movie, but I haven't read the book. But he also writes some fluff. Then again, so does Gene Wolfe., and it never bothered me.

Dang. Would I take Chaucer or Shakespeare at the number one slot?

Not going to lie, I'm leaning toward my boy Geoffrey Chaucer. Dante would be worthy of a number one pick as well... great idea UGLI!

I love Graham Greene. My name "WhiskyPriest" comes from Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory"
