He showed up several times on the list.

Then I saw that Papa H criticized Faulkner for drinking (projection?) and suggested that James Jones kill himself (horrible foreshadowing?).

Sounds like he was tweeting, too!

"Am reading more of Oscar Wilde. What a tiresome, affected sod."

Simple and to the point, and the lack of flowery description or waxing on about why Wilde sucks makes it all the more humorous.
(Not that I necessarily agree with his opinion, of course.)
