Long story short, I've read maybe 40% of Faulkner. As I lay dying struck me so much. There were no chapters, but of the family member talking. And then to my horror, the late Addie Burden was the next chapter. I will never forget that ride. Absolute horror.

I gotta be honest, I had seen most movie versions of Peter Pan growing up, the 1953 Disney version being my favorite, but when I finally read the book originally title Peter and Wendy, I was sadly disappointed and I went in with an open mind. Normally, the book is better, but having read it three times, I feel that the movie versions told the story better, minus the 1924 silent movie version (I didn't bother with the the 2023 Disney remake). Here's why I feel that way: Many times when I was reading it, I honestly felt like I was reading a first draft--that's something ideally a reader should never feel when reading a finished work. In addition, Captain Hook and the pirates not only felt like an afterthought, they were an afterthought from a behind-the-scenes standpoint. It also felt like Barrie did a lot telling instead of showing--the rule is "show, don't tell", not the other way around. Furthermore, with one stark line in the prose, he turns Peter Pan from a cocky brat with some redeeming qualities into a sleazy cult leader with the memory of Dory from Finding Nemo. If that's the intent, so be it, but Wendy never makes that discovery for herself, so what was the point of including that one throwaway line to begin with? Even non-horror stories would take advantage of that. If Wendy did learn that, I highly doubt she would look back on Neverland with fondness like you would a good summer camp, and she wouldn't let her daughter and granddaughter go there either. Who would? I'm not expecting realism in a story like this, but a little credibility would've benefited the story immensely. Even back then it feels like a stranger danger PSA that misses the mark. I sure as hell didn't have these kind of issues when I read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and even The Chronicles of Narnia. Out of those four isekai stories, I rank Peter Pan dead last. J.M. Barrie can be thanked for that initial spark, but as I said before, I feel that most of the movie versions told the story better.

I lived on the same street that Charles Dickens lived as a kid! Bayham Street in Camden, London. I lived across the street from where he grew up. It has since been demolished and council housing is now in its place. I found this out at the local library. I was astonished. 😮 I went to the George Inn and Pub in Southwark for my birthday celebrations too! I'm a massive CD fan in case you haven't guessed by now.😜

Nice documentary punctuated by some outstanding readings. It was a pleasure seeing so much of Galway Kinell; I hope his section gets made into its own GK-titled video. The Abstract Expressionist painters, Pollock, deKooning et al, seem a pretty large omission. In the 80s I made out with a girlfriend in Washington Square Park on a few occasions and almost got shot there once.

So Henry the VIII couldn't get a divorce from Rome so he started up he's own religion based on protesting against Rome hence Protestant, then took a former Catholic Church and made it his property and protestant. Sounds just about right. A whore master king who invaded a country and invented his own religion because he wanted to. How can any protestant call that a religion.

I was born in Eastwood, and I still live in the Eastwood area, less than a mile from D.H. Lawrence's birthplace, (and the three other homes that Lawrence lived in during his early life at Eastwood). When D.H. Lawrence is mentioned around Eastwood, it is still sometimes said, by a very small minority of local people, that Lawrence hated Eastwood, hated the people that lived there, and he couldn't wait to get away from Eastwood. This is probably due to some of the comments said about him in this documentary, which was made in 1985, nearly 40 years ago, and some of those comments are still being repeated today. Times have now changed, along with the views that the majority of the local people have about Lawrence, and his writing. I have roamed those surrounding areas of Eastwood that Lawrence wrote about, and I have also photographed those areas, and the houses where he lived, which then inspired me to set up a website dedicated to Lawrence to try and help put the record straight. The website also includes an essay that Lawrence wrote in later life, expressing his views about Eastwood, and how he hated what the mine owners had done to the area, and to the people that lived there, so his criticism was actually of the mine owners, and not the people of Eastwood. He did eventually leave Eastwood, but he lived in Eastwood for over half of his life, before leaving to take up a position as a school teacher in Croydon, and later, going on to explore the World. Here is a link to the website, which hopefully gives a more balanced view :- dh-lawrence.co.uk

Thoreau was a very good teacher and started a much sought after school with his brother after college. Not sure why this was ignored in the documentary, other than to make it more sensational.
