Discussion on Classic Literature and Writing Advice

What is the best book you read that came out this year?

That's hard to answer. I don't really read books

that come out this year.

I read old books because I'm a classicist, so

mostly the books I read are published in

500 BC.

Do you have one that you would recommend for us?

Homer. I always say Homer.

What is the best writing advice you've ever received?

I've never received any. I don't ask, frankly.

Have you given any advice that you think is valuable?
