Mrs.Chatterbox Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I can't imagine how much you need to be talented to get a Nobel for literature :shocked2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambergris Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 very... I wonder why J. K. Rowling hasn't got one. :uhoh2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Chatterbox Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Because she's not talented :D joking..but the truth is that she didn't create anything new, no new gerne, or no new things to discuss in her books. She had just adopted mythology to her books and that's all. it's not for what people get Nobel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambergris Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I wouldn't say she's not talented... she makes good stories, right? but for me she's not a good writer, nor writes about anything reelevant to our society, except for emo kids who want to scape to their reality and ultimately marry Harry or Hermione and live in Hogwarts forever. :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Chatterbox Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 haha, i totally agree with you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 i think to get that prize you have to be a writer for long long time or had written something amazing, with a lot of hard work behind it.... most winners are pretty old writers that had been writing for like half their lives, or wrote encyclopedias which is a lot hard work to do. congrats for Mario and spanish speakers/readers.
