kcroy posted:I figure your lack of self awareness is either performance art - in which case you are an intentionally annoying gently caress - or it's real - in which case you are an unintentionally annoying gently caress. Either way, I enjoy you far more when you are banned. For some reason i'm starting to think nine-gear crow's meltdown post was wrong and this thread isn't full of total unflappable badasses.

The last two books are good and a new book would be too if he wrote one. The rest of the world is so lovely now I've gotta just put the irony down and admit I like the diarrhea princess books and I wish there were more

Well the story isn't that good, but the plot is interesting. All right, it blows, but what really matters are the characters. Okay, they suck, but you have to agree that the books are still pretty good."

“I’m always a-writing, reader,” cries the author, wiping away his greasy sweat with his arm. “I’ve always been a writing and writing, ever since I was born. What more can I possibly write, reader, more nor I do write!”

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father gave him a copy of A Game of Thrones.

Now I understand the antipathy towards Dickens. No one has read anything by him past the first lines of Tale of Two Cities.

I'll admit I never read his stuff, which is largely why I don't say he's poo poo. I wouldn't actually know, and I make a point not to comment on the quality of things I've not consumed. Now let me tell you why this not-yet released video game is poorly designed in attempt to pander to Anita Sarkeesian's agenda to turn all men into cucks.

The books, story, plot, and characters suck, but the thread about them is pretty good.

Seriously though, Victorian lit is dull as poo poo. Ya’ll motherfuckers need to read some Romantic Era poetry. Now those drugged out fuckers could tell a story... unless someone came to the door and they forgot it by the time they went back to their desk. Visit Charming Porlock — the village that killed Kubla Khan!
