Happy Birthday Honoré de Balzac. You know those books that go on and on, but you’ve invested so much time in reading them that you continue, hoping to reach the end? Well, that’s what Balzac wrote. The same long book. For 30 years.
Must be great, because it’s so critically acclaimed. Personally, I’d never pick up a book which I knew I couldn’t finish. I once challenged myself to read War and Peace. More than a thousand pages and 500 characters. And each character had like three names- the official, the regular, and the diminutive. I was often lost. It took me six months reading a couple pages before going to sleep every night. Spoiler alert, uh, Napoleon flees Moscow and barely gets back home alive.
Anyway, after that experience, I’ve never picked up Balzac, who wrote the equivalent of War and Peace many times over. Nevertheless, bravo, man, that’s a helluva life’s work! For all you did, Rodin could have done a better job, instead of making you look like the Elephant Man!
I’ll guide you to his final resting place on MyVoiceMap audio tours of the Père Lachaise cemetery, and tell stories from his life.
See funny pics and text from our picnic together in The Chairfather book.
The passed have never been more alive!
Book a lunch date with the fallen famous NOW!
Or later…
Really, it doesn’t matter. Their agendas are quite open.
