Shame it ends in 1990 because The Virgin Suicides would be a good one.

Excellent choices, indeed. I must be honest with you though and admit that some of the meaning in her poems eludes me. I do find the same with much poetry though. Alas, I am but a student.

No problem. :D

I guess I was wrong and OnThe Road has been described as a picaresque novel. Whoops!

That, if nothing else, has persuaded me!



Yes, she has a huge output and I didn't know that her work was published only after her death. I did know she was a recluse though but not that New...

Hello,

I'm not sure about the word beginning with 's' but your description of what you're looking for sounds like it could be 'picaresque'.

However, I've never heard On The Road described as a...

I really like The Cure - they're unusual and original, I think. I can't listen to a full album of them though at one time. I listen to a few and that's enough for then, if you know what I mean! I'm...

Another great one.:thumbsup:
We could keep going all day though! They just have a great sound.

I've often said it, but alright. :iagree: :D

I grew up with Oasis playing though, so perhaps that's the reason. Great song. To be honest, I like pretty much all of their stuff. What's the second...

I can hear a influence in Oasis but not enough for them to be actually compared like they often are. My ears tell me that Oasis are superior.:eek:

Maybe instead of starting multiple threads, it might make sense to create just one Indie/Rock/Alternative music thread.

I probably wouldn't pick it up. I'd just leave it for the next person who came along. Someone once told me to consider what if it'd been the last money of a poor mother or tramp and they came back to...

Thank you, Prince. I guess whichever I choose I'll give Captain Singleton a miss for now. I would've gone for the most popular probably but I might read the one you were surprised at instead now,...

True, but Neely said:



The Stone Roses are classed as rock and they're good (IMO ;)), so I mentioned them.

I think it's a great thread. I love looking at books - old ones especially and the inside of them.:blush:

I would post a picture of my favourite book, despite it being an old boring Oxford...

As seen as Neely has let us go wild, I'm going to throw some Madchester rock in the mix.

The Stone Roses - 'Waterfall'

I can't watch/listen to many of the...

It's been a couple of years since I read it, so much of it has faded from my memory but I have positive remembrances. It's the only 18th century novel I've read so far, and you can definitely tell...

It's quite amusing how it seems to be so random for some words, like 'Facing'. I did notice this quirk when I read his Roxana - and that he doesn't like full-stops much. I guess it must be a product...

Haha, I realised when I posted that they weren't really classic in the sense Neely meant but I posted anyway. I think it must be a generation thing! More things must seem classic when you aren't a...

I think Dickens is no doubt wordy but not to such an extent that I've noticed. However I do find occasionally (but not too infrequently) that I come across a sentence that just makes no sense to me....

But fiction isn't written by robots. A human being with experiences, ideas, philosophies, theories and feelings is the writer of fiction. How then can it lack substance? Indeed, a good author should...

Real ones: hate.
Model ones: like.

Ice cold lemonade?

Van Halen - 'Love Walks In'

Aerosmith - 'Janie's Got A Gun'

I love Heart too. Some girly classic rock!

I don't know if Pink Floyd are classed as classic rock? :s I guess they are classic...

This put me in the mood for Oasis. 'Don't Go Away' currently playing.

Yes! Me too. I was surprised to see so many the first time I looked at her poetry but the dashes work wonderfully when reading aloud or to one's self, actually.

Happy Birthday! :party: I hope you're having a fab day!
