James Joyce was a talentless hack.

[Horab Fibslager]

i totally agree. i dont think i'v ebeen thre anytiem recently uh or unrecently, but yeah. i know people.

[Mangrove]

ok so we trash writers?

Lovecraft - big on ideas, massive vocabulary...shame he couldn't be bothered to put them into interesting sentences.

Tolkien - big on ideas, but can we please stop the fucking hobbits dancing on the tables every 10 mins in 'The Fellowship Of The Ring'?

Joseph Heller - one hit wonder

"A Tale Of Two Cities" - it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Well if you can't make up your mind, I'm not ploughing through 300 pages of this shit.

etc.

William S. was able to sell books due to the fact that if you assume a rebal stance you can get away with getting shit published under the guise of outsider creativity.

I didn't like PKD's last three books, including Valis. (I know, Heresy, meh)
Even worse than Heinlein's last books.

PACERS WIN!

Kerouac?

For god's sake man, leave home and get a job!!!  


LMNO?  = teh win.

[LMNO]

Thanks, Mang.



BTW, William Faulkner bores the crap out of me.


And don't get me started on the Bronte sisters.

[hooplala]

I think Bulgakov's Master and Margarita is vastly overrated . . . although maybe I am missing some of the cultural relevance.

Hemingway sucks ass though, all around . . . his dialogue should only be repeated by robots, and his forced machisimo is adolescent.


Toronto is vastly superior to anywhere in the Prairies, but of course you're going to think otherwise . . . personally I don't enjoy spending my time with bigoted right-wing rednecks, but hey, that's just me.  Toronto isn't perfect but its better than anywhere else in Canada, other than Vancouver.


And I enjoy that disagreeing with people on a Discordian forum gets me branded as a troll (apparently a specific troll) - I suppose the correct way to be Discordian is to parrot whatever the loudest asshole on the forum is spouting.

Vancouver = best thing you've got going, until BC secedes and we steal it.

seriously though, how could anyone not love Vancouver?

if you want to see Canada's asshole, get yourself over to Sherbrooke.

So, LMNO, how are the Bronte sisters doing these days?

Well, they're unable to write anymore crap-assed books, so I consider them doing very, very well as far as worm food goes.
