Uh dude, when you posted your Dostoevsky thread where you complained no one else read Dostoevsky, there was another Dostoevsky thread right at the top of the page.

And I have read Joyce. I said I thought the Circe episode was fantastic, but the rest of it was pointless masturbation. I guess you're not counting my posts and the posts of others toward your total of zero because we disagreed with your assertion that Joyce was the greatest.

We had a three-page Joyce thread just over a month ago. Is that not recent enough?

Everyone doesn't. I didn't. I knew of Joyce. I read a couple of his shorts, found one of them creepy, but I didn't really enjoy them that much. If I read Proust, it didn't make an impression. Perhaps this is why no one has anything to say about them. Perhaps they were bland.

Salman Rushdie
VS Naipaul

Two definite masters of contemporary english literature. Both have won the Booker Prize, and Naipaul, as we know, attained the Nobel Prize in 2001.

Ian McEwan as stated is also very Outstanding.
