I subscribe to Very Short List, which is a neat site that makes recommendations on books, websites, CDs, and DVDs. They were reviewing a book called Not Quite What I Was Planning by Smith Magazine. It consists of biographies of famous and not so famous authors that are only six words long. Ernest Hemingway wrote the shortest of his short stories in just six words that manages to be haunting: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
I haven’t read the book (oh, but I will), but it got me thinking. Could you sum up your life in six words? I thought about it and this is what I came up with:
Different costumes, always the same clown.
Just thought I’d throw that out for the masses.
