(From 13 March 2008): How about a chance to play editor-in-chief? Fill in the blanks:____ would have been a much better book if ____.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho would have been a much better book if the writing style wasn't so plain and boring, and if the 'treasure' at the end of the story wasn't so damn obvious and inappropriate for the main character.
I could go on and on about that book, but I won't.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be gay.
