    Powhatan was the father of Pocahontas but still the name shouldn’t be that hard to pronounce since there is a disney movie related to him.

    I would not have said John Wayne as he is an actor and not one of those authors that writes books. But speaking of that, were any of the movies featuring John Wayne ever mentioned in the books VJ?

      Well, how would you know it was about authors when the category was 1950s People? Kerouac wasn’t a bad guess, at any rate.

      I just saw that quote by the Dalai Lama “a sense of contentment is crucial to being happy” over the weekend but I don’t get it.
