>Heavy hand of the author

That's...his trademark writing style though. This one wasn't as bad as the other one, but the reviewer still annoyingly misses the entire point of the book she just read. I'm not sure where this notion that everything in fiction needs to be completely believable came from. Sometimes it's more important for something that happens to aptly convey a certain message or theme than to be completely believable. If we wanted to read a completely believable story about an orphan, then it would probably be a rather boring book where the main character either stays in his orphanage or starves to death.

You can always spot someone out of their depth when they assign value to preferences. Everyone who isn't insecure in their intelligence understands context is key to appreciation, and what Oliver Twist meant to its immediate readers is why you read it.
I can't see anyone properly identifying with any book written before the 1920's, and people younger than myself perhaps the '50's are more apt.

True. I'll admit that there are certain works which many people consider to be canonical that I either find too difficult, or unenjoyable.

This could lead me to two different conclusions:
>Everyone who claims to enjoy the work is wrong, and/or lying, or
>Literature is diverse, and tastes are subjective, so what appeals to one reader may repel another.

It takes a deeply self-involved worldview to leap to the first conclusion. Of course, a decent chunk of /lit/ does so on a regular basis with posts declaring
>such and such work is a meme

I'd disagree with the point about identification though. While social values change over the years, it's still possible to identify with characters or situations in fiction from long ago.

For example, despite being over-the-top in terms of characterisation, and depicting an era very different from our own, 'Babbitt' by Sinclair Lewis (1922) is very relatable - it depicts conformity, lack of imagination, and the malaise of the middle classes better than any contemporary novel I've read.

I fucking loathe GoodReads. I've seen people give books a shit score... because the main character is unsympathetic.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE, YOU CUNT. He's the scion of a noble family in a feudal, slave-driven society. Of course he's a fucking bastard. Everyone around him are bastards. Even the slaves are bastards. The fact that people are bastards is kind of, you know, THE POINT.

I swear, the world is full of people who couldn't understand basic texts if you explained it slowly to them, with pictures.

>1. I don't know if I can respect the opinion of someone's book review when they don't even know that books are never put in quotes. 2. Google "The Hero's Journey." This will explain situations why the uneducated always think that authors rip off other authors by making "more versions of Gandalf," as you imagine. The "Gandalf character" is a pivotal part of all epic tales (not epic like "cool"--epic, as in a literary epic, such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Bible, most religious myths in general, the Odyssey, etc.). The "Gandalf character" is what is know as the "Father figure" and/or the "Magical Guide." It's a common pattern for epics, and it's why Harry Potter is so beloved. It follows a pattern in which humans have always been creating mythos, from the Epic of Gilgamesh and on. Study literature and the Monomyth and see how the phenomenon of Collective Consciousness is a major reason why some series/books rise to the top, and others are forgotten. #igotmydegreeinthislol

That's the part that really annoys me. I hate seeing stuff like: "Dubliners was so boring, omg! Nothing ever happened in any of the stories!! I found no reason to care about the characters because they never did anything. I now know that Joyce is just a bunch of pretentious garbage that old white male college professors assign to make themselves look smart and to torture us." This always seems to be the main reasoning behind every negative review on classics.

He was someone who lived in a different time with different social norms. Condemning a person who lived in the past for not cleaving to eminently modern social norms is smallminded, and frankly retarded. It smacks of totalitarianism. Especially when we consider that modern definitions of "racism" are less and less descriptive terms, and more and more political buzzwords.

So no, I'm not going to call people who fought against racism well before it was cool, and when there was actual risk attached to it, "racist" because they don't cleave to the left wing radical Tumblr definition of what it means to not be racist.

Politics ought to be the art of compromise, but today it's the art of fucking the other side out of power long enough to enact policy they can't possibly reverse.

I agree with this, and I think the rise of emotion has been paralleled by a decline in both the use of and a faith in reason. People can use reason to form a compromise, like

>this isn't perfect for me, but I'll take it, since you are willing to accept it

but you really can't compromise on emotions when it comes to strangers in the political realm (as opposed to your famil or close friends), especially when those emotions are given an apparent validation through the language of "my/our rights".

And this goes along with your second point, about gaining power to fuck the other side, in that central governments may now be too powerful and capable of affecting too many remote lives at a personal level, so there is a strong temptation for people to take hold of this enormous power in order to protect and advance themselves, their group, or whatever particular cause that they are emotionally invested in; and who gives a fuck about the other stakeholders in the social and political system, they're just wrong.

Ender's Game is one of the best novels of the 20th century, and one of the best commentaries on war, period. It's taught at West Point for a reason. And it's all the better for its brevity and its subtlety. It's almost military in its efficiency - which is just another layer to why it's a great work of art.

It gets shit on 1) because of its author's politics, 2) because if it's author's politics - really, I can't overstate that enough, and 3) because a literary orthodoxy that's been educated to view a hundred pages of rambling about how the scent of cake recalls a childhood memory as the height of art has trouble parsing a book like Ender's Game.

>The involuntary memory parts of Swann's way are absolutely sublime, though
Yeah, I freely admit that I'm not really not qualified to judge Proust. I just wanted to emphasise that Ender's Game is a very different type of art to what literary professors and critics are used to. I've been over it pretty thoroughly, and it really is a genuinely great work.

Take Peter. What this girl says about his character >>9636504 is infuriating because the author gives you everything you need to understand Peter. You know that he was in the advanced military program, and was rejected, and after viewing the same situation through Ender's eyes you can infer how bitterly Peter must have taken his failure. You're also asked the question: is the line between Peter and Ender simply that Ender had Peter to torture him? Was the root of Peters cruelty his power - he was quite literally one of the smartest, strongest kids on earth, and unlike Ender he had no one to check him. He was so much smarter than his peers he could do whatever he wanted with them, which is always a recipe for creating a bully, and then his failure to graduate into the program twisted this into near psychopathy. But then the book also throws genetics into the mix - so you're left asking yourself: was there always something wrong with Peter? Ender's game play very subtly with the line between Ender the hero and Peter the villain, and the line between nature and nurture. I'm really just getting started on this, and yet what's wonderful about Ender's Game is that it's just one sub-theme, and it does it all so concisely that it can fit easily into what is really quite a short book.

I hope that is not the actual column that you submitted, as I counted six (6) grammatical, spelling, and capitalization errors while reading it.

After reading this amusing little diatribe, I had to view your profile. This is the only book that you have listed. It seems rather odd to me that you would create a profile here, even go so far as to add the most pompous (and vastly amusing!) "quote" about yourself, only to add and review the one book that you seem to abhor above all others -- or so it seems, given that you have apparently read and reviewed no others, at least on GoodReads.

Also, I must say it is rather embarrassing for a Tolkien lover, such as myself, to read your "review" and see that out of three mentions of Tolkien, you spelled his name wrong twice. (That would be 2/3 of the time, for those of us keeping track.) For such a learned man as yourself, I am embarrassed FOR you.

Feel free to enjoy all the "difficult pleasures" you want in the books you choose to read. I read what I enjoy, and often. A good book should transport you away... and I don't mean to the E.R. with a migraine.

I've noticed that Goodreads authors usually don't have a lot of books marked as read, and usually don't give ratings at all.

If you're an autist like me who has hundreds of books rated and then become an author, do your publishers give a shit about your book ratings? Like, do they freak out if you gave Twilight 1 star because it could alienate your base or something?

I was mostly just using a hypothetical. I know John Green has read The Great Gatsby because of that video he made, but he didn't add it on Goodreads. I guess revealing the classics you've read also reveals the classics you haven't read which can be embarrassing, but I'm just wondering if there's a larger reason why authors on Goodreads don't put down every book they've read.

Oh, I don't really know. I suppose that's a good question. I imagine that part of the reason why is that they'd feel inclined to give a comprehensive review if they marked it as read, and probably do not care enough to devote the time to doing that, especially if they already have a video detailing their opinions on the book. Who knows, really. Your guess is completely valid.

We had a debate in my AP Lit. class about HOD, and I got to argue with these people. They are so inept, they think that using the word "nigger" automatically made Conrad racist. I told them so many times that you have to look at the entire book, not just 1 word to see that Conrad was writing against colonialism, and saying that white men were just as animalistic as the black people they called animals. My blood was boiling by the end.

HOD is a horrible read, though. If it was any longer, I probably would have given up. It's just so dull and boring, I'd rather read a dictionary.

This, plus there's a genuine sense of friendship throughout the majority of the book that just warms your heart.

I think because people expect Dracula to be the true OG of horror literature, consisting nothing but spooky shenanigans, they're quite disappointed when it has more to do with friendship, loyalty, enigma, dreaming and health. It's genuinely a great book.

Iirc Conrad was Said's favorite author; as a Palestinian who didn't and couldn't live in the land of his birth, he sympathized with the Polish Conrad who lived in England and elsewhere and wrote primarily in a language that was not his native tongue, and identified this quality in his books.

A Galaxy Tab A SM-T580 10.1

Applications on the device are as follows;

>MX Player Pro (Movies)
>Cool Reader (Reading, Night Mode Enabled)
>MuPDF (Muh Tabletop)
>Package Disabler Pro (Disable everything but base android requirements)
>Twilight (Muh Blue Light Filter)

For the price (230 US) the tablet has a killer battery, charges last me usually 2 days if I use it for just reading and watching movies. Its fucking giant so you can easily see everything in Tapletop PDFs and get easier reading if you so choose. You also do not really need an SD Card if you are using it for movies and reading. I can comfortably store 3 movies along with thousands of Tabletop Documents and Books on the 16GB Model. If you want to get extra creative you could just ditch the Movies and MX Player and go with Netflix or w/e assuming you get Wifi. This model DOES NOT have any slots for a SIM Card or Cellular Service of any kind.
