More like the internet is probably destroying people's inability to use basic grammar and spelling therefore they can't enjoy books because of it.

Also Social Networking.

This, I do have Blackwells if the one in town closes. But other than those and Amazon i'd be screwed when it comes to books. They're probably the the only thing I actually enjoy in life.

Voldemort was a shitty villain.

Flagg wins since he's essentially immortal.

Anyone who thinks A Clockwork Orange and Dostoyevsk are obscure needs to be taking out and shot firing range style.

I just see them as vapid beings that serve no purpose in society and only want to get stoned.

I have always thought hippies were the most selfish and hypocritical people on the planet.

Worst people on the planet, next to stoners, hipsters and just about every other damn social clique or new age life style bullshit.

I know it's not by Dostoyevsky, but it sounds similar to something he'd write. Which is why I asked if I would like it.

>> No.2057999 [View]

Would you recommend that author since i'm on a Dostoyevsky kick at the moment?

This, but mostly how I felt pretty much all the time.
