Stop right there.

Quote:
over dramatizes


Barring the fact that that's a grammar error, the book over-dramatizes nothing.

It's so matter-of-fact, its power is in its understatement.

People can't even criticize correctly anymore.

No one engage me on an intellectual level, got it?

Not because I'm smart, but because it's depressing.


Boo hoo, a grammatical error. You really do try too hard at the elitist douche bag handle. You see for all of your intelligence you've gone the illogical approach of adopting the work as if it was your own. I'm sure you can look back at whatever english teacher told you was good about it, and then spit it back at me.

Calling an entire generation "Lost" isn't overdramatic- oh excuse me, my pleb hands can't relay my thoughts properly, over-dramatic is what I meant. Yes, calling just one generation that managed to experience total war for the first time in X amount of years truly is over-dramatic.

Jake returns impotent, and Brett's love dies and then she's married into an abusive relationship, but she can't commit with Jake because she needs a good deep dicking. Oh, the drama. Did you know she shakes when he touches her? Oh, the drama. And that dirty Jew Cohn sure is dirty because the characters have to have a problem with everything. Oh, the drama.

I'm surprised the following generation, that experienced both the great depression and WW2, didn't Q_Q all over the place.

Here is hoping there are no grammar errors in my post because I am not about grammar here at all. =) Smile!

So, one of the last books I read was The Stranger or The Outsider a novel by Albert Camus. I loved it.
Take a peek..

Yes, but what's more annoying is when they're almost the same size, and the book's title is a character's name.

Like, if you didn't already know who Andy McNab is, and you pick up a book with a cover that says:
ANDY McNAB
NICK STONE


...what the fuck?

Dude, if I ever travel there some time we should hook up.

Or I could drive you to wherever The Soup's 10th Anniversary Party takes place.

That kind of Force is badass. It's different from the kind of force that forces Japanese-American citizens into internment camps without due process.

Same here. I never thought I would actually give enough of a shit about politics and economics to read books about it.

I have a nice little stack of Austro-Libertarian literature right next to my computer desk, and a few in my locker. It's awesome.

These are not the Japanese you're looking for. Move along.

That's why I said I was stupid, yep--pretty elitist.

I try too hard at curing boredom and do it in the wrong places in an immature way.

No, but go on as if you know my position.

I only got to ninth grade. (Dropout 'Soup.) I read the book on my own for pleasure--I said that in my first reply. You're not even paying attention, and that is why you bore me. I will respond, however. It's something to do.

If I said you were lost, would I be being over-dramatic?

Everyone in the book is unhappy, and that's drama, yes. But I don't see how it is over-dramatic. Most people I meet are unhappy.

They did cry; you weren't there to see it.
