Today I attended an author's reading of an excerpt from his book, because I am required to write a couple of analyses of readings for my Oral Interpretation class. I feel that the following description of his own character is all you need to know to understand this experience.

"The most compassionate person in literature as I know it."

Also he went just long enough in the Q&A after for me to run to the corner just in time to watch the bus go by and have to wait an hour for the next.

It's a shame that his actual reading was good, because it means I won't get to tear him apart properly in my essay.

Windbag.

Cat? I am so sorry. So. Sorry. Because, ugh

The best part? He's a PROFESSOR. So it's not like his knowledge of literature is that of some random Joe.

Hrgh.

This reminds me of a fool who showed up at the Mint a few weeks ago and was bellowing so loudly into the microphone that the KJ had to turn his volume down. After wards he raised a protest and the KJ (my buddy Frank) was trying to explain that he was singing too loudly and the guy said, "I'm the best thing you'll hear all night."
