a certain person, and her actions, really grate my rates right now.

apologies for the vagueness. you dont know her.

its possible that i'm misconstruing the motives for her vexing actions, and if i was, and i knew i was, then i would be slightly less annoyed

eh. just felt like throwing that all out there. yea thats all nebulous. so this is just an exercise in ranting than entertainment for you.

    this was so vague that it took me approximately 11 seconds to remember who i was talking about.

it's essential to who i am that people think i am egomaniacle

egomaniacal

however its spelt. it's essential for travis too.

    Dude, spelt is a grain, not the past tense of a word. Maybe you could just cut your reviews short. Like the one I heard tonight: "This book is a tour de force! It makes me want to BE a detective in Boston. I think I could do it." That might make people want to read the thing. Oh, nevermind. As I write this, I just noticed your last two reviews were pretty concise.

    I wouldn't have you any other way. Also, I named a fictional horse after you.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932)

at 04/23/11 2:22AM *
Dystopian. Moral ambiguity. Shallow, poorly constructed characters.

A classic today because more than any other novel, it's plot is near truth today.

Much better than Anthem.

Far below 1984.

B+

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner (1930)

at 04/10/11 2:04AM
Greatest single chapter ever, one sentence: "My mother is a fish." Courtesy of Vardaman, the youngen of the Bundren family.

Typical Faulkie. Stream of consciousness, subtle, Southern. About a family hauling their dead mother to Jefferson, Mississippi to bury her dead and rotting body. A good ol' odyssey, with parallels (not least of which, the title) to Odysseus's... though in a backward, horrid manner. Tragic where Homer was celebratory.

My mother is a fish. Bout as good as "Jesus wept."

A+
