What I've Been Reading

[corvidophiliac]

Yeah I did that thing where I stopped posting on LJ after a very short stint of trying to post regularly. Everything's just too much for me sometimes, despite the fact that I have very, very little going on.

REGARDLESS, I've been meaning to make this post for a while---things I have read so far this year, and things I plan to read soon.

"That aside, why the fuck does no one care that Simon gets brutally beaten and left for dead by the entire group?"

That's because Piggy dies.

And Richard Adams mopped the floor with Brian Jacques and then proceeded to grind him up and sprinkle him over his rice pilaf.

Hahah, well I didn't mean that none of the characters care. I meant that Piggy's death is the one thing people always make a big thing about when they're talking about it, and I found Simon's a lot more significant/brutal/disturbing.

Books you havent read

First off, Newfoundlanders with any sort of self-respect at all dont like the word Newfie and you're use of it makes you look like more of an ignorant fuckhead than the "antagonist" in Right Away Monday". There is no shooting up in the book either. And if you had half a brain then you couldnt possibly whittle that sort of book down to a meaningless drinking story without ever having read it. What you wrote is idiotic. I wrote it, and I didnt write it for you. If you dont want to read it then give it away to some junkie or some boozer or some stupid mainland book reviewer. And go fuck yourself.

1. All I did was reword the summary from the back cover, so that's an interesting statement. It's also an illogical one -- having not read a book, you could, in your lack of knowledge, whittle it down to nearly anything -- however accurate or inaccurate -- regardless of brain capacity.

2. Where are you even grabbing the term "antagonist" from; you put it in quotations yet it's not a word that was used -- or even suggested.

3. I don't know any Newfies who care if they're called "Newfies" or not. It's a common colloquial term, and one I will continue to use in informal statements and conversation, as I do now. Frankly, it's no concern of yours.

4. I don't care if you wrote it, or for whom you wrote it. The fact that you had it published means that it's free for anyone to read and criticise. Get over yourself, please.

5. Your juvenile insult tactics, combined with your failure at English, is hilarious; thankyou! I hope dearly, for the sake of my respect for Hynes, that this was just a really bad troll.
