It looks just like every other 17-23 year-old's book "collection"- like you just waltzed into Barnes & Noble one day and bought one armful of hip ironic tripe and one armful of teh klassic literachure. Add in one book you found at a yard sale or something.

People aren't taking this seriously probably because of WWZ and the other two zombie books. Seriously, that negates what you're trying to do.

OP HERE: I'll admit, I wasn't much of a reader in high school and my school's required reading in english class was all shitty southern lit. Wuthering Heights and bullshit like that. So I'm still catching up on the "Klassics" as you say.

>>950609
nothing wrong with zombie books. I only liked WWZ, P&P&Z was lackluster and I fully admit a book I'd return if I could. Survival Guide was meh. But hey I like zombie books so fuck off.

Neverwhere was boring urban fantasy garbage. The plot was dull as all hell, the characters were trite, the prose was accidentally offensive. Let me spell it out in a way which you can understand:

When I was a younger man than I am now - in summer, during my high school years - I went to Europe with several of my friends. We were in London at one point; a friend of ours from back home was also there, staying with another girl who lived in London. We spent several days together; I was kind of interested in the girl, and noticed at one point that she was reading Gormenghast.

I just began reading Titus Groan, and I realized that I should have fucking married that girl.

No point to this. Just felt like sharing.

first off, take a step down from that ledge, man. its the internet, i ain't puttin that much effort into what i'm writing. i'm not ignorant, altho obv there's nothing i can do to convince you of that and who really cares? all i'm trying to say is that someone can read young adult fiction and whatever you're holding up as an exemplar of "intelligent" fiction at the same time, and still be perfectly intelligent and a pretty cool guy, and just shitting on others is a really bad way to feel better about yourself (i should fuckin know)

so anyway, in conclusion, pee pee, doo doo, your stupid your a big dumb idiot

I am amused by your bombardment of logical fallacies. Not only are you a dumbass, but you're also investing massive amounts of time in showing everyone in this thread just how stupid you really are. I explain why I know a book is garbage; you explain why you're not a bad person for liking it. See the problem here?

American Gods was stupid, way too long. It had its moments, but it was very anticlimactic, especially in the ending. Believe it or not I found myself enjoying most the good 1/4 of the book where he lived in that rustic little town as Mike Angels or whatever. The rest of it, especially the whole zombie wife thing, was stupid
