U.T. Raptor posted:Crichton's books are mostly pretty terrible aside from Jurassic Park and maybe Congo (all of them are basically "Michael Crichton learned about a thing, here's a novel about his opinion on it"), and got worse over time. And then you get weirdly petty things like him depicting a real-life critic as a small-dicked pedophile in one of his last books. was it crichton who made one of his critics a pedohile in his novel

maybe the worst book i've ever read was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Sea every woman with lines gets raped, the protagonist is a mary sue, when the protagonist sees some medieval thing the author drop a wikipedia article about it and the book is full of historical inaccuracies it's not so bad that's it's good, it's just very bad i have no idea why italians and spaniards have given it some awards, maybe they are just so corrupted

Anne McCaffrey who wrote The Dragoriders of Pern also supported the notion that men turn gay if you rape them.

muscles like this? posted:He was definitely big into the hippy dippy version of "free love" where everyone should just have sex with everyone else. yeah, it's probably this eg. many of the green party "free love" hippies have been outed as pedophiles in germany well maybe "outed" is the wrong word, they didn't even try to hide it

Darkhold posted:You're doing it a disservice. Rat King is excellent it's a horrific look into some of the worst camps in the Pacific theatre and the brutality of life there. Since Clavell lived it you can ignore the parts that are his sloppy love of capitalism and the parts of the story you don't like and just feel the rest of the world. King Rat is very good, but then again I'm a big camp novels fan. I liked Tai Pan too, haven't read other stuff from him, but Shogun is on my reading list.
