It is easy to break the power button, though, so handle with care.

I discovered OkCupid yesterday. It's pretty entertaining.

The Fault in Our Stars

I did not think about it as particularly being the prose, but I think you are right. I felt that it was bit choppy and awkward, mainly due to how the different situations played out.

Moral of the story: fuck translations, learn russian.

That's all right - I am too, and I fuck my shit up pretty badly.

And I agree, the satire is great. But it's little gems, and in general I can't say it's a MASTERWORK or anything. Sure, it's pretty good, but it isn't masterfully written or anything.

>>4086920

I didn't say that it wasn't. It was funny as fuck - but it, along with most of the book, was quite corny.

>>4086884

And sorry for fucked up sentence. I can't really fix at this point.

>>4086866

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he must have been taking SOME sort of substance before writing parts of the book.

The only parts that I thought were actually quite well-written (and not just humorous) was the Jesus part, and the initial story about their lost love.

Pseudo-intellectuals like to spout those a lot from my experience. Maybe not Pynchon, but Joyce and DFW are mentioned pretty often.

>>4086702

That's probably similar to how the author experienced his homeland.

>>4086627

Really? That explains a lot about most people.

>>4086618

Wait, what? Do people dislike Holden? I kinda liked him.

>>4086616

Well.... fuck.

>>4086572

Isn't what he is doing dark knighting?

>>4086539

Well, here in Sweden they are pretty much in charge. A day or two ago they announced that we will be accepting free immigration from Syria. But that's a bit off-topic and better suited for /pol/, I know.
I was not implying that educated women are all liberal retards (and not even that all liberals are retarded, although most are), just that a large majority of them are. The problem is that they are indoctrinated with that shit all the way through kindergarten to uni - it's not their fault that they turn out retarded, but it's unfortunate.

grill detected.

>btw im gay xD

>>4086544

I can tell that you aren't used to intellectual works yourself, so that's quite all right, my dear grill.

>>4086533

I actually read it, because why the fuck not.

Have you?

>>4086513

I'm guessing you could make a study of contemporary trash literature, and how it corresponds to occult symbolism or something. That works with any book.

>>4086517

All right, good.

>>4086520

Yeah, you're going to have to come with some motivation on that one if you want to troll anyone.
