>Glaucon: What's up dawgs! I was just passing by on my way home from work at a post-industrial silicon valley import-export company and heard you were having a gathering, so I brought some cream soda and this VHS tape of a Waiting for Godot performance. Let's blog about it while blowing up balloons made from processed latex and wearing tie-dye t-shirts!

Some people enjoy a story and want to last it as long as possible.

I once had a girlfriend who wouldnt watch movies longer than an hour and a half. She was a pleb too.

if you like the first 200 pages of a book, then you will likely enjoy the next 400+ pages. If you don't like the first 200 pages, you put the book down and find something else to do with your time.

Not every book needs to be 300+ pages and to no one's surprise, many books are no more than 300 pages in length. I fail to see the issue you are claiming exists.

>Now THATS what i call edgy

I think ancient holy books are very far from sci-fi.
They are more like fantasy, legend, mitology, etc.

The screenplay of James Cameron's Avatar

I read it recently and it's very well written, an immediate favorite that will definitely be read again. I would also recommend it to a struggling person.

What exactly is it you need help with?

Why did you feel compelled to specify the gender of your doctor?

Read it, don't be all to cynical while thinking about it. Overall it's a nice read.

What exactly do you want help with though?

Only because I don't like pseuds, otherwise it would be easy picking.

Hi, I'm the guy who posted the thread about his girlfriend letting him borrow the Gaddis books. I got a lot of shit in that thread because I said that she "let" me borrow them. It's true, she let me borrow them, and for only a month, so I have to read them quickly. Point I'm getting around to here is that she does like the Wu-Tang Clan, but she does not like David Foster Wallace. Anymore. She says she liked him when she was 16 but then discovered the authors who influenced him and realized that he was just a weaker mind ripping them off. Anyway, I have to go cook dinner.

lol, how is it that /lit/ folks just don't go to a decent or above-average liberal arts college. These kinds of girls makeup 40-50% of any liberal arts undergrad population.
