I tried that but quickly learned the reason most people don't read classic lit these days is that, for the most part, classic lit is boring as shit. Pre-20th century storytelling methods just don't do it for me.Otohiko wrote:I only read classic literature these days
Stand your ground on Potter and King. You don't want any part of that shit. Card is pretty decent. Not nearly the great piece of modern lit that some claim but still a decent read.on a more serious note, I know for a fact that one day someone will probably make me read Harry Potter books, and for that matter my brother will make me read Ender's Game and other Card books, and fucking everyone will make me read King's books (because apparently I'm always the only one who still hasn't)
I because a die hard hater of the Potter movies after the 2nd one ended with Dues Ex Machina not once, not twice, but at least three motherfucking times. I have been told by many who read the book that the movie was pretty faithful to the ending. So AFAIK the books are nothing more than some whiny teenage brat standing around waiting for someone to come save his ass. If you want teenage angst by people who can barely wipe their own ass without help then go read livejournal instead.I did see a couple of the HP movies and I thought they were fun enough but really not anything that indicated some sort of good literature behind them. Am I wrong and are the books better than that?
=D
Good God woman!
