How to win friends and influence people

VS Naipaul on the Booker:

"Prizes like the Booker are destroying literature. It looks for a good commercial, middle-of-the-road book. It is supposed to rescue books from non-entity, but books that are awarded the prize die very quickly,"

Naipaul: I want to concentrate on phlegm management

Quick, someone slip him some Viagra!

Nobel laureate and renowned writer VS Naipaul on Thursday made a shocking declaration at the India launch of his novel Magic Seeds, saying, "this is likely to be my last book."

(P.S. I recently received an email that claims to have the LOWEST prices for Viagra and Vicodin... maybe we should click on the link....) (P.P.S. Sorry, I just fucked the Google spider, didn't I? Click on a link anyway, we need the money.)

Mmm, stuffing!

Naipaul

Profiled (apparently along with his wife).

'I would not know what to talk to another writer about. He would be thinking about his book. And I would be thinking about mine. And what would we think of to say to each other?'

In my experience, this is when you see two writers absentmindedly taking the stuffing out of a third, not present. In fact, I saw it today!
