'... I don't agree...and assert that readers also
create literature ...'
Poor ole Will has been trying to persuade himself
of this for God knows how long. Every so often
around four o'clock in the morning, he's faced with
the dreadful truth - which he manages to repress
by breakfast time. Then, out of deference to all you
illiterate no-hopers he dons it once more as an article
of faith along with the Essence de Foucault perfume,
the Gucci loafers & the polka dot bow tie.

Aah .... skottie as we know him ... harsh and unfriendly. One wonders what irritates him now ...
Of course Will is right, if one considers that most writer are readers too. I suppose Zkotsman isn't sensitive to something as subtle as that, alas.
And, aren't there things such as literary circles, (See: Dorothy Parker and the vicious ... or is good ol' Dottie not considered literature?)
