Beers & Books LXXV – Anthony Trollope

Three hours a day
will produce as much as a man ought to write.

  1. Oh yes, he was a prolific writer. I've read the Barchester novels but there is much more to his oevre than that. Good point with his three hours, I suppose any more and you could be wearing yourself out.

    1. I "discovered" him late. His output to me seems enormous.
      As for the "three hours": I would not make a dogma of it; on a good day the words sometimes flow pretty longer;
      If I remember correctly, Hemingway's limit was four hours. ;-)

  2. Continuing a familiar theme... I have never read anything by Anthony Trollope, but I have drunk lots of beer... Does that make me 50% Sean (at least in some regards)?

    1. 50% Sean does sound excellent. 49 would even do, so that Andrew and Don QuiScottie keep the majority.
