He gave three reasons in the post. You are on /lit/, so try to read a bit please.

Damn I was just reading about this book (trying to learn spanish) and I came here to see if it would be mentioned and here's this thread right at the top

>>9755244
Have you read the book? Then you know the subject matter. Ill agree that length is a bad reason, but Op liked it for its length, so there. And what about the prose? That he liked it for fucks sake. Three "actual reasons" he liked, pull your head out your ass for like ten seconds bud.

The Gospel of Luke

I experienced a great deal from fiction.

Some video game science fiction book is equivalent to avant garde dissonant 20th century classical music?

Metaphor.
The American dream has been smothered with the capitalist's dream and we are run by the world's largest mafia.
Conscious and unconscious metaphor leaks out of the arts head, and the work tries to inform, or warn us as it entertains

>>9756344
Interesting but crime isn't really a metaphor in a society where millions are imprisoned at any given time.

Perhaps they're, you know, entertaining? Perhaps Cops and Robbers will always be entertaining, drugs will always be an escape, crackpots will always be alienating yet familiar? fuck metaphor, why can't we just for once like something for its own sake?

It's good, it has some differences with the movie

>>9754996
What are the differences?

stanley kubrick might be the greatest cinematographer to have ever lived so the source material probably will never live up to his movies.

I've only read clockwork and the shining, though. in clockwork's case the movie sucked less than the book and in the shining's case the movie is a masterpiece whereas the book is a typical shat-out king horror.

I wouldn't compare memes to proverbs, but I would compare proverbs to memes.
Memes don't really function like proverbs do. They're far less conscious. You can't even say that they convey ideas, since they only really function emotionally. I definitely agree with his historical analysis, but I would add that memes are fundamentally more powerful and influential. Also memes aren't really visual. They're far more reliant on language.

Depression

David Fincher does this better. And I normally hate the Hitler youth haircut

>>9754808
I had no idea who that was, and I looked him up and he looks like a plump 45 year old. I don't know why you're comparing the two.
