What Book Are You Currently Reading ?

[El Kabong]

Batman, I think a major reason why children in school do not read more is because they are forced to read a very narrow selection of books. I did have some books I read for school which I loved 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is brilliant for any young adult who wants to have a little action in a story. The books I read for fun were the ones which really hooked me though, 'Jurassic Park' was one of the first novels I read and man it was great to be able to read that and watch the film to compare and contrast. John Steinbeck's 'Tortilla Flat' was another one I read for fun and it's very unique in that there's great comedy in the story and the characters are relateable archetypes it's Steinbeck's take on Thomas Mallory's 'Le Morte d'Arthur' only instead of knights and royalty the focus is on a band of friends who are penniless, homeless, and yet still they live by their code.

El Kabong had to read English classics and hated every page of it. His resentment is why he hates us English.

Because nothing fucking happened in those books. Someone gets feelings for a member of the other household, x happens and those lovers can't be together, they find the next best option get married, someone gets a cough and dies repeat like a billion times....it is bullshit! I abhor The Bronte sisters every last tuberculosis infested one of them! But don't you worry, there are American authors I hate as well. Zora Neale Hurston was difficult for me, Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible' was meh, Henry David Thoreau could be quite full of himself, Mitch Albom is a weird eared doofus who thinks he knows a bunch about sports.


But hey, I am not supposed to like anything and everything, I enjoy reading certain authors and others I dislike.

You just reminded me of those Jane Austen books I was forced to read in university!

She'd spend 3-4 pages describing a fucking tree! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! What a bore!

I know right! I mean Herman Melville did the same in 'Moby Dick' describing the whiteness of the whale but the plot was exciting same thing with Brett Easton Ellis in 'American Psycho' in the chapters about Phil Collins and Genesis, Huey Lewis & The News, and Whitney Houston....but at least those were topics I could relate to "Oh I remember 'In The Air Tonight', I remember 'Walking On A Thin Line', I remember 'The Greatest Love of All'"


Jane Austen was another horrid sickly woman writer....BE MORE INTERESTING! You're stricken with tuberculosis, you are short on time....write with some sense of urgency God damn it!



Apparently tuberculosis strikes people in the third world and boring English women.....and Doc Holliday

'Literary Genius
You've basically read all the books that exist.'

In all fairness the pictures of the films give away a hell of a lot of the answers that I didn't know
