Banana, Kiribati Superthread

THE MOST OVER RATED BOOK OF ALL TIME. Seriously...there was nothing remotely special about this.

:vomit:

 

[Slopsy]

The Eyes Of The Dragon by Stephen King. 10/10

READ IT. Not only the best King book I've read, but also the best fantasy I've ever read. I could easily read this all in one sitting, it's hugely engaging and the characters all seem so real. Flagg is quite possibly the best novel villain ever.

 

[major_panic]

Attention Superthread!

I'm considering buying this lot for $25:

They're apparently about an inch across each.

Thoughts?

 

[liamcool]

At work, not at home. So, can't. Sry. I could speak nadsat at you or recite one of Hamlet's soliloquy's.

Nah, I'll pass on nasdat, it confuzzles me. And Hamlet kinda annoys me, as you know.

Flagg? RANDALL FLAGG?!

Must read this then. The Stand was SO influential on me when I was younger.

Do they come with those pins so you can stab people?

1421: The Year China Discovered The World by Gavin Menzies.

-10,000,000,000,000/10

Where do I begin? This is arguably the worst work of history ever. This should be filed in the fiction section of bookshops. Words cannot describe how astonishingly dreadful this is. I'm at a loss to explain why anybody would read this. It has no historical merit - it is just the stupid delusional imaginings of some old geezer with delusions of grandeur. He has no evidence, he makes baffling leaps of logic, he has no fucking idea what he's talking about, he has no awareness of previous research ... I should burn my copy.

I'm gonna do a thing:

I adore this book...in fact I ardently admire and love it.

 

[Slopsy]

THE VERY SAME. And what the HELL, why haven't I read The Stand yet?!?! :goestofindit:

Haven't you heard? NLOTH flopped. U2 is over. This is a Dan Brown bashing forum now.

 

[Slopsy]

Ax...you...you...cut your beard.

Austen? :suicide:

Yeah, hmm...I could go find some random George Carlin jokes.

 

[bono_212]

Also note that is a $.45 copy of the book! It's from the 60s

I thought this was a book bashing forum. Book burning. We're Klanners?

 

[bono_212]

THE VERY SAME. And what the HELL, why haven't I read The Stand yet?!?! :goestofindit:

I started the Stand but got side-tracked . Also I saw the movie first . I haven't read Eyes of the Dragon yet, must get on both of those.

 

[liamcool]

THE VERY SAME. And what the HELL, why haven't I read The Stand yet?!?! :goestofindit:

Cause. You suck. Or something.

Spoiler

Yeah, I've got nothing.

 

[coolian2]

wow, i just realised i haven't read a book this year.

 

[Axver]

Ax...you...you...cut your beard.

Yeah, I figured it needed a trim. I prefer it the length it is right now. I figure I'll get it cut every half a year or so.

 

[LemonMelon]

Axver and I don't need sheets. We're already as white as we're going to get.

 

[liamcool]

I started the Stand but got side-tracks . Also I saw the movie first . I haven't read Eyes of the Dragon yet, must get on both of those.

The movie of The Stand is pretty good. The book is amazing. I read it when I was like 11 in 10 days. My edition is over a thousand pages long.

 

[liamcool]

I'm Irish. Think about that.

You look pretty snazzy tonight, imo.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the movie. If you liked that, you might like the made for tv version of The Shining. It's very much true to the book, and...honestly I like it more than Kubrick's .

 

[liamcool]

Yeah, hmm...I could go find some random George Carlin jokes.

I could go for this.

 

[bono_212]

Austen? :suicide:

i'm so sorry!

 

[liamcool]

i'm so sorry!

I had to do six months of Victorian literature. It made me cry.

 

[Axver]

Candide by Voltaire. 7.5/10.

This starts off as a great little satire with some very incisive points. Voltaire overdoes it, but it's the sort of satire that warrants being overdone. Then he overdoes overdoing it, and that's where he loses me a little.

Still, quite worth a read; it's enjoyable and quick.

 

[Slopsy]

This is actually true. I was merely shocked at the sudden loss.

Looks good.
