Yes, fight fans. I am done with history. It is literature's turn.
Hm. A lot of determiner 'a' beginnings here. I will sort them out in time. Otherwise, we will have the definite article 'the' trying to throw its weight around.

'All About Eve' is a 1950 film based on a 1946 short story by Mary Orr. She did not get a screen credit. Which is annoying for people like me who like to enjoy the original first. "Hey, Mister Spielberg! Quint doesn't get et by the shark! He drowns! The poor, little, rich kid oceanographer and marriage wrecker gets chewed! The shark doesn't get blown up by an oxygen tank in its mouth hit by a .30 aught 6 (7.62x63mm) round! It drowns!

'Armageddon: A Novel of Berlin' is another one of those books where the hyperbole promises much but leaves you feeling "What the hell" and has you hurrying down to the newsagent's before he closes to throw the book at his head. Leon Uris was one of the bestsellers in the 'sixties and 'seventies along with Harold Robbins. Between the two of them and their publishers they destroyed a lot of Amazon rainforest and created an Everest of dung.
