First of all, this is probably the tenth time I've seen this as a Facebook group or on here even if the wording isn't exact. Second of all, as much thought as English teachers put into a book, the author still puts way more in. It's really not close. Sorry to be all anal, but this joke just pisses me off every time I see it.

I completely agree with you, the joke is getting old and it is a complete lie.

Today my English teacher told me that Ernest Hemingway used to rewrite his stories 40 times before publishing them. Forty.
