: : : : Anyone ever read a book titled, "A Seperate Peace," by Jonathan Knowles? : : : : <SNIPPED> : : : : Jason : : : *************************** : : : Is it Todd Anderson? Is it Phineas? Is it Jason? Yes! All three! : : : Bill, who loved the book and the movie for ASP : : : *************************** : : I just started the book again last night -- btw it is "John" Knowles (not Jonathan). : : Anyway - I haven't had much book time (or 'net time), nevertheless, here I am... : : I was recently asked a question: : : " A person goes through most of their life working in an occupation : : they have talent for, say banking, then realizes one day that they : : want to do something different, say, write a science fiction novel. : : They haven't really written before, but they have the itch. How : : successful do you think they will be?" : : I thought, "Wow, how appropriate! This is a roadsign arrow that points to the question I'm searching for! It's one of those temporary signs that looks like a 'Detour' or something along those lines that doesn't seem to belong. You turn off and about 15 minutes after not seeing any other signs, you say, 'Am I going the right way?' Five minutes later you say, 'Should I turn around and go back?' Two more minutes later as you begin to slow down, you see what looks like the next sign. You speed up and see that it isn't, but maybe just five more minutes..." : : Jason : : P.S. I guess the "Dead Poet's Society" thing to say would be, "Carpe Diem!" (or perhaps "Caveat Emptor" ;-). What would the "'Separate Peace" catch phrase be? (Maybe after reading the book again, I'll have something to put here). : : P.P.S. Oh what fun it is to ride when no one has the reins, hey! Fa, la, la, la, la, and all that jazz... : : Whatever! : *********************** : Perhaps G retroactively answered the "question" with his earlier post: : "Yeah, I read the book and watched the movie when I was in High School. : P.S. - Break A Leg." : Jason
