i hate books

[Lore]

Try Remnants.

That was a great series; it was definitely one of my favorites while I was stuck in the crappy middle school library.

No people, seriously, read Mortal Engines.

Go to the libary or Amazon or something. Get this book then try telling me you hate books.

I'll check it out sometime.

Anyway, I absolutely love books. I've been able to read chapter books since kindergarten, and I haven't stopped since.

I used to be stuck in the Youth section of the public library until I realized that most of the good, old, non-mainstream books were in the "adult" section. >_<

Here are a few recommendations:
Dune
The Lies of Locke Lamora
The Name of the Wind
Atlas Shrugged
A collection of H. P. Lovecraft's writings
Remnants
Fahrenheit 451
The Vampire Chronicles (starts with Interview With the Vampire)
Battle Royale
Wizard's First Rule

@Nino: Agreed!

Highfive.

Atlas Shrugged

No highfive.

Battle Royale

Redeemed.

Three words: Da Vinci Code.

Seriously, that book is awesome. Codes are just my type of stuff.

i wasn't getting at you hating books at all, i was pointing out how you also dislike excessive descriptions that don't affect the plot

really? i love imagery and most figurative language.

Thanks for your lowering of my self esteem T_T

If we didn't have books, I'd still think that that'd be the fall of civilization. Without books the mistakes of our ancestors would surely repeat itself. So if we somehow did reconstruct society, it'd fall again pretty quick anyway

interestingly with the advance in writing and printing techniques intellectuals were afraid of a severe decline in intelligence due to the fact that you could merely write things down, you didn't have to really learn or remember them.


I love technology though.

Stop reading pleb lit. Just read Joyce and Beckett. They're the Fox of lit.

This thread is five years old. How did you even find it?

I hate this thread.

Although Fantastic Mr Fox can't multishine
He can provide you with entertainment just fine
When it comes to reading, gut gud don't whine
And learn to appreciate that which you malign

And that's the bottom line

****ing casual
