I won't even deign to defend him to you ignoramuses. I am secure in the knowledge that I am enlightened to the brilliance of his literary posturings.

har har. nobody is making me read horror books, unless they involve mafioso politicians (the real horror if you ask me).
anyway im not organizing this shit, i've done my share of organizin' & its an ungrateful task. kundera is a great guy to have a beer with. not a great-great writer, but smarter than glice ![]() anyway. im bored. irritable. not a great day. i think to read l ron hubbard though one must be on crack. here is a little book for all of you to read: les liaisons dangereuses. that's right, the english versions keep the french title. don't tell me you've "seen the movie" or i'll fucking smack you. this is some fucking excellent prose and a thrilling. engrossing plot, populated by astonishing characters, and if you're not hooked by the 2nd page you lack either brain lobes or gonads. chordelier de laclos, who wrote it, was a general of napoleon's army who specialized in designing fortresses. try beating this one. |

i think people here would be willing to join and put their add their opinions to the discussion (wherever the discussion is wil be held). but i think the only problem would be unanimously deciding on a book. i suggest a poll to determine the book and perhaps more than one group, reading a different book at the same time, so that incase they don't want to read the book one group is reading they can read the other. maybe chabib would set up a chat room for us. i'm sure he would be willing if someone asked.

Oh, he didn't do a damn thing. I'm just trying to be silly, & start up a conversation.

Oh, and should this go ahead, it should be controlled by one person, and no different people reading different books because they want to read different books, because we can all read our own books if we want to. Part of the point is reading books that you might not read. If we decide upon King, I'll happily go along with it...
[trunky-wunky, close your eyes now] ...even though I think King is utter, utter shite. I might change my mind, I might contribute vitriolic ramblings (something I am perhaps not known for), but the point is to get different points of view. [trunky-wunky, you may open again] ...because Stephen King is a wonderful writer.

king is a very nice realist, his descriptions of new england small towns are pretty kickass if that's the genre you're into. (i'm not. but i digress.) throw however supernatural darkness and... hm.. well... maybe if threatened with penile electrocution i'd give it a 2nd try.

H.P. Lovecraft slays King on all levels, including the level of creepy detailed descriptions of New England.
I visited Lovecraft's grave while in Providence a few weeks back, actually. Good times. |
