I wish someone would have banned it before I had to read it in high school. What an overrated piece of boring ass crap. I don't think I've ever read something more dry and stupid in my life. I would have rather written a paper on the telephone book.

The problem I had with "Gatsby" was there wasn't enough swearing in it.

I can't help but sit and wonder how you know the length of any particular spreads in that publication?

Change the book title to "A Tale of Two Cities" or "Grapes of Wrath" and you would be speaking for both of us.

Look back into your collection. March 1992; "atchtismaquay and his ginormous c*ck."

Hey!

You can diss Fitz. I guess that's earned it's way into cliched counterculture 'cool.'

But lay off Dickens.

And, again, I am left to wonder why it is that you would have any particular issue so handy as to immediately reference it?

get over it.. he called you gay.. you apparently claim you aren't gay.. so its over..

no need to try to outduel each others wit about whether you are or aren't a stoolpusher..

I'm sure you are a nice guy... nice enough to give every guy you sleep with a reach-around

tyton75 · 01-12-2005, 03:00 PM

I wonder if they would try to ban a book that had the word "stoolpusher" in it... hmmm

Depends on context. They've actually got "Moby Dick" on their list of recommended literature, so I guess your autobiography would be alright, too.

I liked Copperfield. I liked Great Expectations. I liked A Message From The Sea. A Tale of Two Cities was just impossible for me get through. I like Dickens... but that book is among my most hated books of all time.

Huh, I flew through it like a fricken Grisham novel. But I was pretty interested in the French Revolution in JHS. Seemed a lot like if Manson had succeeded in his 'revolution.'
