He's based.

Who would win in a fight, John Green or Nicholas Sparks?

Why is it inconceivable that the YA author has no merit?

I think I have some first editions of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls, I'm not sure because they are in really good condition
I was reading Farewell and if I left my finger on the text long enough it would start to smug, so I figure it was old since nothing else does that

>>8581205
What does the copy of For Whom the Bell Tolls look like?

I have a KJV Bible signed by the author

>author constantly introduces the subject 4/5ths of the way through extended sentences with multiple clauses

And this is why nobody likes Henry James.

>>8581162
James is GOAT, ya dingaling.

Probably referring to Gods work at great work, a "fearful symmetricy" that being a perfect beauty or creation, I assume referring to either a women or something awe-inspiring.

Depends on how you see "fearful," since you may be able to think "awe-inspiring" as the anon above suggested, but the first thing that came to mind to me was basically

Just look at his face: he's edging.

He and his buddies spent too much time rigging the Hugos to finish.

how would ironically doing that be any better?

He doesn't have nay particularly interesting or controversial views about those things anyway. It's just people reading retarded shit into him

What are his feelings towards women and Jews?

He certainly wasn't a panentheist. He was a "pantheist", which is just crypto-atheism, at least how Spinoza expresses it.

>without referring to historical events themselves
Why is this necessary?

Marxist theory of history is widely overgeneralising and often ignores the details and complexities of historical events and progression.

If he was so smart, why did he die of AIDS?

This is so unimaginative and lazy but it'll probably still snag a few.

Just looked this one up, it has the same multi-character semi-connected theme Cloud Atlas does? I don't know why one author would do that concept twice

While this book may not say anything totally original or profound, I did find this book very helpful in getting me through high school. I think that the stories are not totally connected for a reason. All of our actions ripple into the future, but they do so in such an insignificant way. However, the last line of the book really sums everything up. Although each of our ripples is small, they are still laced in
the fabric of the universe.

I recommend you go to the manchild general and they can help you.

read those and can personally recommend. Beyond the Black River is supposed to be good as well but I haven't read it yet.

>>8580965
I got stuck in my Howard anthology on Beyond The Black River; it starts a little sluggish, but I may have been burnt out from reading up to that point.
