Have you watched it? It's one of the most critically acclaimed tv shows.
>why don't you own a copy of it yourself instead of stealing images from reddit?
You sound like this >>23302575 retard. Why reply twice? It's a photo from AbeBooks.

There was a free book giveaway at my school today, I snagged Go Down Moses by Faulkner and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. There were also two fucking massive volumes of the complete Sherlock Holmes stories that I was eyeing but I didn't want to be "that asshole" that took everything

>it's a I actually have the idea that a league is about three miles but I've only put it together from context clues in the handful of fantasy novels I've read that uses leagues but I've never actually looked it up myself and I'm just playing up my laziness on the interent for attention episode

>There's nothing about evolution suggesting that it's purpose is solely for adaptation, and in fact, it makes no sense to conceive of it this way. We could have just as easily remained as unicellular organisms then. Why didn't we, if all evolution was was a game of adaptation?
You're trolling. Fucking kek there is no way you seriously wrote this out. Idk if you knew this, but environments change over time (and thus the need for adaptation). In fact, all of Earth's protohistory is a series of environmental changes (that had absolutely no dependence on "evolution"), which forced adaptation on single celled organisms. Bro, we (maybe not you) learned this in grade school.

That's good because smiles are threatening. I read that in an article about chimpanzees.

The Oxfordians present a bunch of little circumstantial points of data. The Stratfordians just yell that anyone who disagrees is a schizo antivaxxer. I am but that's anecdotal.

it was the one thing stoner wasn't a complete pussy about

Would you guys describe Bret Easton Ellis's books as stream of consciousness? Primarily Less than Zero and American Psycho. If not, what type of prose (?) Is it?

>inb4 babys first novel etc etc

pynchon can't write characters yet writes so sentimentality about them

>specially those considered of superior OR lasting artistic merit
>superior OR lasting artistic merit
Yes, I am.

>>23305214
You don't need courage to approach you need to allow yourself to be reckless. Let yourself be reckless. My guess is those two women made a mistake and they have missed out on happiness they otherwise would have had

>>23305208
read Pynchon

>>23305115
I don’t have schizophrenia and I’m not the schizo

>>23305161

>It's a brag about my ignorance and laziness episode because I refuse to spend a few seconds to find out

>>23305223
Stoner was right.

I will never understand why some people are so desperate to imagine Tolkien as some final arbiter of quality literature. He was notable for being the first to do some things during an era in which modern literature was still in its infancy. As far as the actual content and prose of his works is concerned he is, as the kids would say, pretty mid.
