Just wait.
You'll see why I'm doing this if you look at the last category...

Say what now?
What last category?
I am really frustrated by my lack of knowledge in the face of the rest of the writers' intelligence. I must need to read more factual books...
Ah! Facts, boredom.... Ah!
Anyway, at least I can spell better than most of the boys... (Or at least know how to use the spell check...)

It's not my fault that this brain races too fast for my meagre keyboard to keep up. And it's novels that truly broaden the mind, not factual books.
Like All Quiet on The Western Front. I love All Quiet on The Western Front.

Never read it.
Can someone else lend me a copy; I starting to dislike Stewart a lot. If there are cakes on Tuesday, you are not getting any as punishment.

Wasn't All Quiet On The Western Front based heavily on a german soldiers diary and can therefore be described as a factual book?

I suppose "based" means they made up some stuff so it's not totally factual. That's probably what he means...

I was forced, rather cruelly, to read out loud a letter that appeared in one of my stories, accents and all so probably yes.
And Pete. Just because a book gets written by drawing from personal experiences doesn't make it a bland, emotionless work of non-fiction; All Quiet on the Western Front is a beautifully bleak story about a person losing himself. I'll lend it to anyone who wants it.
