Post any questions you have that don't deserve their own thread. I'll start us off:
Is this the correct usage of the word 'anodyne'?
"The latter, only further added to his dismay, as all he found were anodyne messages of condolence; written only to meet obligation."

Are there any authors that found their writing to be shit? Inversely any authors who were extremely satisfied and smug about their writing? Give me the extreme examples.

Kafka wanted his stuff to be burned.

Goethe came up with his own theory of how colors are created. To him, colors come into being when "darkness" and "light" mix. He published several books and kept on fighting against Newton's "wrong theory".
Even in his last years he was convinced that his color theory would be the one thing that would outlast him, it would only be a matter of time until the world would understand.

As long as it is the uncensored version it should be ok. I know the glenny translation is from the censored version but not sure about p&v. I know that the p&v translation of dead souls (Gogol) lost a lot of the humor, so this may be a problem here as well. I haven't read the p&v translation of m&m so I can't say for sure.
