We never meant to cause you trouble.
Said Ab and went in search for someone else to cause troubles to ;) :D
ouw, i noticed that there have been some interesting posts about radiohead going on in this thread (which should not belong here)..
Thank's to my avatar!!
(i wonder why..)
If I didn't know any better, I'd say Robert E Lee had a crush on me.
EwWwWwWwWw . . . Weeeeird.
re: Weeeeird
I'm glad you noticed (heeheehee)
LOL :D:D:D
Sorry to hijack this thread to Radioheadland. I just like Sub's avatar.
I like 2 or 3 Radiohead songs (I'd like a few more if I liked the way he sings but I really DON'T- I could say it in a much more unpolite way but there are some fans here and I tend to respect them as I respect this band, despite my opinion).
I detest Coldplay in every possible way.
I didn't know Umberto Eco was that popular, most people here fall asleep only at the mention of 'the name of the rose'...I've mostly heard that it's quite boring and if someone claism he read it all he gets a lot of respect like he was super-clever. I'm also told it has lots of parts in Latin or kinda Latin.
I'm not going to discuss whether literature is dead or not, cos it's that kind of philosphical question I wouldn't enjoy discussing and I wouldn't get anything out of it.
Amen.

And I just hate it when people compare Radiohead with Coldplay. Is this band worth listening to? Have I miss the boat?
Pablo Honey isn't bad. Its just different. Every one of their albums progresses a little. It doesn't get "better" or "worse", it just changes as they try somthing new. People generally don't like Pablo Honey very much, but I think its quality stuff. Check out the Japanese import album, "Itch" it has some live cuts of Pablo tracks that are really cool.
i totally agree with this.Quote:
Literature is not a reason for living, life is. Now hurry up before you die.
I learn it from my own experience.
I kinda had some issues come along like those in "Dead poets Society". i finally realised :
to enjoy literature is a way we can enjoy our life more..
but never be obliged to read anything
I blame television (and to a slightly lesser extent, movies) and the rise of Spark Notes on most of today's reading woes.
Why read a book when you can watch the movie version? And even better, why read at all when there's so many television programs to watch? It's so much less effort.
And though I appreciate Spark Notes and the like for helping me out with particularly difficult works of literature after I've read the books themselves, I see far to often that my peers won't even bother opening the book assigned, and instead turning to easy-to-read summaries. It's really sad, and there's really no good way for professors and teachers to stop this.
Exactly. I always tell this to people who complain that movies just aren't nearly as good as they were 30 - 50 years ago. It's not that movies are necessarily worse today, it's just that time has weeded out the crap, and only the jewels remain. I'd say it's the exact same with literature. In 50 years, only the truly great stuff from today's books will remain.Quote:

From just listening to this conversation, it sounds like what is being said is that every novel written before about 1950 is genious, and every novel written since is complete rubbish. Thats rediculous. While I wasn't alive in the victorian era, I'm pretty sure that there were novelists other than Hardy, Dickens, Austin, and Bronte. The greats are the ones that are remembered. We have the luxury of time on our side. Over the last 100+ years people have sorted through literature and decided which novels are good and which are bad. But anything a victorian reader picked up was not going to be brilliant. Now that the middle and even lower classes are educated there are alot more writers than there were. Not everything is crap. 80 years later people arn't going to remember the names of the harlaquin romance novel writers. They will remember the greats of our era. Our problem is we are unwilling to sift through the crap thats being published to find these jems. I read comercial fiction and I have read some absolutely pathetic novels. But at the same time, I have read some great Authors who deal with universal themes. Authors that delve into philosophy, Authors that still publish nonfiction, Authors who read and respect literature. They do exist. Its just a matter of getting off your lazy asses and trying to find them.
