Quote from: nurbldoffAt what?
At writing. His work is utter rot. Worse than the end of RAW's Schrodinger's cat trilogy.
Wow, you just get better and better . . . what's your idea of some fascinating reading The DaVinci Code? Harry Potter? The Nanny Diaries?

I'm sorry I offended your sense of dogmatism, boy.
Do you need a definition of Dogma? I would be more than happy to suply you with one. Even a few, if you ask nicely.

True. Great English language usage, TERRIBLE story.
Kind of like Shakespear's less-inspired work (A Mid-Summer Night's Dream, etc).

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

i <3 that book
wise blood by flannery o'connor was torture

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.
btw,
PACERS WIN!
Kerouac?
For god's sake man, leave home and get a job!!! :evil:
LMNO? = teh win.
Thanks, Mang.
BTW, William Faulkner bores the crap out of me.
And don't get me started on the Bronte sisters.
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.

Quote from: The Book of Lies89
{Kappa-Epsilon-Phi-Alpha-Lambda-Eta Pi-Theta}
UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
I am annoyed about the number 89.
I shall avenge myself by writing nothing in this
chapter.
That, too, is wise; for since I am annoyed, I could
not write even a reasonably decent lie.
COMMENTARY ({Pi-Theta})
Frater P. had been annoyed by a scurvy doctor, the
number of whose house was 89.
He shows that his mind was completely poisoned in
respect of that number by his allowing himself to be
annoyed.
(But note that a good Qabalist cannot err. "In Him
all is right." 89 is Body-that which annoys-and
the Angel of the Lord of Despair and Cruelty.
Also "Silence" and "Shut Up".
The four meanings completely describe the chapter.)

Fair enough . . . let's just say of all the places I've lived, Toronto is my favourite so far. I'm sure there are better places to live, but there are certainly worse . . . try London Ontario, that's the armpit of Canada.

portrait is best. never read dubliners.
ulysses is borign as fuck, adn the wake isbetter as a random page thingy, wherein you ahve to take a crap and open at random.

With Ulysses & Finnagans wake, I'd prefer to read it annotated, cuz some of the jokes, wordplay and allusions are waaaay above my head.
Yeah, I'll admit I'm not smart enough to notice everything Joyce packed into his books.
I have the Annotated Finnegans Wake, but it seems as hard to understand as the actual text . . . but then again I don't understand 18 languages.
