I never understood why people think writers write about their own kinks. People can imagine things that are sexual in nature without actually wishing to do it themselves, and serious writers will research things they need in their books. It doesn't mean it's jerk off material. If anything writing about your personal sexual predilections seems pretty worthless and I wouldn't expect most people to go for it. JJ letters are different obviously because they were personal and not meant to be published.

e: If anything those letters make my position firmer because I seriously challenge you to find any kind of fart-fiending in any of his published works.

joyce is kinda the exception to prove the rule, keeping the poopy fart stuff in private letters shows an amazing restraint.

Yeah, that was quite the experience in The Magicians (think Harry Potter but edgy). At one point, all the characters are magically transformed into foxes, and one thing that happens is a big old fox orgy because they're all instinct and no brain in that shape. Pretty weird, but I figured it's just some set-up to illustrate the weirdness of magic transformations or something.

And then later on one of the protagonists ends up in a cult that accidentally summons a demon. A demon that just so happens to be an anthropomorphic fox. An anthropomorphic fox demon that ends up graphically raping the protagonist. At that point I started to sense a pattern and noped right out of there.

King may be a solid exception to the rule that the books are better than the movie. His books are an absolute slog where nothing happens in the first 100 pages. A decent screenwriter cuts it all down to a solid 90-120 minutes of good times.

Chuck Palahniuk is another one whose books aren't as good as the movie. Even he said he wished he could write a book as good as the Fight Club movie.

The best ever book/movie match is "Dark Star". The film came first and the book is pretty much a mirror of the movie with filigreed bits in the paragraphs. Both are entertaining as heck and well worth the bother to both watch and read at least once.


If you're unfamiliar, then I feel a slight sense of pity for you. Cheesy sci-fi, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.

Not quite. The world building was great but the actual best part is the psychedelic assault on the radio station by the cops.
