Man this shit really fucking annoys me. I don't give a fuck about some twitter bitch but I meet people all the time who have this same opinion of books, movies, games, tv, etc. "Media x is bad because character y isn't explicitly shown to be evil despite some bad behavior". Faggots.

Still based though

Alice in wonderland, the wind in the willows, and aesop’s fables are all dozing-on-a-sunny-hill-while-mom-and-brother-sing-silly-songs levels of comfy. What books do you read to go back to your childhood?

Something along the lines of we're all twisted biological accidents of evolution grown out of the permetutations of the Central Nervous System, which seems to be centered in the spine itself (incidentally, more living creatures don't have spines than do, so that's retarded), and much of our material impositions on dear mother nature take the shape of spines, perhaps unconsciously or merely symbolically or both (unclear in the synopsis). And all of this can be used to explain our ills.

Add in a smattering of gobbleygook from sci-fi books, as well: the 'atrocity exhibition' is from Ballard, the possibility of language being linked to biogenetic trauma has an echo of Burroughs' word virus.

There's certainly much more pseudery afoot but I can't be troubled with it, for I think the human body and mind are beautiful, I'm a happy-go-lucky sort who can see a set of traintracks and not consider it an outgrowth of mutant human physiology. I'm a simple fellow, after all, perhaps why all this is lost on me.

Hey, everybody, it's the OP from the dead cow in the supermarket post. Welcome back, little guy. You're sooooo cute.

all of them

Quick rundown?

I used to come on here a few months ago and there were lots of threads to do with writing e.g. you'd write about how your novel is going, post bits for other people to read, etc. Now there aren't any of these threads and people only post about books they are reading. What changed?
