Naipaul is just one of those chauvinists that shouldn't be taken seriously.<br /><br />I've never read his works though. I've heard is excellent! Should be interesting to ponder on his comment once I know how he writes. I'm not saying that he is right, only wondering if his comment was even worth all that arrogance!! In fact, why just women writers?.... A complex perhaps?<br /><br />Btw, you have an interesting blog. I was just googling up paintings when I happend upon this.:)<br /><br />RisaSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707280327803432082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044329887961963106.post-58958218549937206252011-06-19T22:16:44.274-04:002011-06-19T22:16:44.274-04:00I don't know what he writes, but who is he to ...I don't know what he writes, but who is he to judge it? If he took his favorite five books and laid them out, how many people would agree that they were the best five books? No one can be the judge of what is best for all. People have different tastes. I'm sure I would not prefer what he does, not because there is anything wrong with me, but simply because I am a different person.Debra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044329887961963106.post-32875102438393410572011-06-19T20:54:55.840-04:002011-06-19T20:54:55.840-04:00This guy's an idiot.

Lo...Ha, ha, ha! *wipes tear* Is this guy for real?<br /><br />Love everything about it.<br /><br />He might as well say "I'm better because I have a penis. Look, no really, I do!"<br /><br />Can they take away your Nobel Prize for being a moron? Someone needs to look into that.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806213335024533276noreply@blogger.com
