Douglas Adams is the best author of all time.

Queer was pretty unremarkable for me.

Honestly though Marquis De Sade and Hunter Thompson is as elite as it gets.

[QUOTE=hismajestythepope;17156895]1984 is pretty intense tbh. It's just very drawn out.

Also, Vonnegut was ****ing elite. If you don't think he's a good author, you don't have a shred of wit in your head.[/QUOTE]

page-turn

[QUOTE=Permanent Solution;17157334]Vonnegut is **** guys.

Wow. No offense, but this tops the cake for retarded things you've said.

I like you dude, but I do not understand your concept of good vs. bad whatsoever.

an oral history of leprechauns in trees

I've never read 1984 but it always seemed kind of lame to me.

I'm on a Bret Easton Ellis kick right now.

nice avatar! :D

I really like 1984. Admittedly the part where he gets really into the manifesto thing or what have you is a little dry, but I really enjoy stuff like that.

1984 is one of the greatest books ever written

Lulz.

why is that funny

its a good book

Yes it is.

[QUOTE=rasputin;17157857]1984 is one of the greatest books ever written[/QUOTE]

you're still failing

it's one of my favourite books, and timeless. what are you getting at

hes saying its good; not anywhere near one of the greatest ever written

well then good for him, he can have a cookie for being 'different'

I'm just saying it's not one of the greatest books ever, be easy.

I don't get the "still failing" point, are you bringing up the whole txus thing?

Animal Farm is superior to 1984.

You could list off many books that are superior to 1984.

Not books by the author of 1984 that nobody ever talks about.

Animal Farm was too short imo.[QUOTE=hismajestythepope;17157578]Wow. No offense, but this tops the cake for retarded things you've said.

Well, in this case, bad = lacking in plot, relying entirely on style. Having a bad style. Being without substance. Stuff like that.

True, the sytle got tiring after awhile.

Everything by Orwell is pretty brilliant. Coming Up For Air, A Clergyman's Daughter, Animal Farm.

1984 is over rated and borderlining plagiarism but it's still good.

What's it stolen from? I'd like to read it

1984 is just like, terrible as a novel. It's a horrible book. As an idea, it's outstanding. But it's such a tedious and underwhelming read. You can get as much out of the cliffnotes as you can from trying to finish it.

Orwell is ok, Animal Farm and Coming Up For Air are his best. 1984 was very boring.

stop talking about books omgoshsk1

Tedious and underwhelming read? Not at all. I picked up and finished it in like two days. Loved it.

I enjoyed 1984 a lot too. I actually liked it better then Animal Farm.
I felt Animal Farm was too short.

me unwinding after a long day

It's a fable, do you people really expect it to be 300 pages long or something?

who cares orwell is a fag

Isn't he a sci fi writer?

[QUOTE=HighandDriving;17158660]Isn't he a sci fi writer?[/QUOTE]

is that supposed to be a bad thing

The greatest sci-fi writer of all time is clearly L. Ron Hubbard. Look no further than Battlefield Earth for proof.
