> He also said if you're not reading Tolstoy and Faulkner and Shakespeare on a regular basis you're not a writer.
The subject translates (I think!) to "I do not read 'War and Peace'", meaning I'm not a real writer! ("Ja ne citaju" I remember from D'ing my 10th grade Russian class, "Vojnu i mir" I had to look up :(.) If that guy is such an expert on writing, why did he spell Shak-spear wrong?!
I'm glad to hear that even good writers have to re-do their work sometimes!
Cheers,
