Quote from: Mr. Psychologist on February 09, 2016, 08:01:16 AMJust finished Metro 2034, started Harlequin a couple of days ago but as usual with bernard cornwell books I'm already halfway through it.I could probably get through every sharpe book in less than a month tbh, it's just such gripping reading e.eWarlord chronicles, I read them in high school and couldn't remember the names of the books. Thank you so much for mentioning Bernard.

Whether you think that "the whistling throngs of tall, dampened grass, dancing in the harsh gales like thin marionettes (bla bla bla for three more paragraphs)" are necessary for establishing an atmosphere in your story, the bottom line is that you don't need that shit. What's important is the story and what you get out of it.Atmosphere should be established in a single paragraph or less--if you can't do that, you're probably not a great writer.So that's why I don't really read nowadays, because all modern writers feel the need to write like that.I don't find it impressive--I find it tedious.I think you'd like Chuck Palahniuk and Kurt Vonnegut. They don't bother with wordy description for the most part.Nice shot--I love both of those authors. I've only read one of Palahniuk's books, though (Fight Club, of course).

Quote from: Penis Parker: Sexy Squid on February 09, 2016, 10:40:27 AMI like how you desperately need to justify yourself after a few people make fun of youBut no one made fun of me?Explaining your opinions is kind of what you're supposed to do on a forum, little kid. Little baby.I like how you desperately need to stalk me on this forum and respond to every little thing I say.Having a creepy little kid, who likes to post dick pics on a backwater forum, obsess over you is pretty fucking disturbing.

I was going to tell him that 'I make my own literature' is possibly the cringiest thing I have read in a long while

As retarded as that statement is, nobody is talking to you, we're talking about you.
LMAO like i give a single fuckNow I know what to respond to you with every single time I see you: I write my own literature.

Oh, the irony is palpable.
Quote from: Ramona on February 09, 2016, 01:46:01 PMOh, the irony is palpable.Except I barely reply to you.Inglorious literally follows me wherever I go.Watch him like your post, the little cunt-eyed bitch.
Now I know what to respond to you with every single time I see you

Except that for an unemployed forum neet with appx five times my post count in a shorter time than I have been posting, harassing someone constantly isn't that far fetched.
No part of your statement was indicative of exaggeration.
Nothing right now. I might just read another Goosebumps book for the sake of entertainment value. I got some that I haven't even read yet.Still, nothing else right now as far as books go grabs my interest.
Daily reminder that this post infers that Deci is more capable of appreciating literature than Verbatim is.

But you're still one goddamn stupid-ass motherfucker. Holy shit.
