I'd say he's more liked than hated. Much more.

If you think people don't revere Dickens, then you're listening to the wrong people.

I read Skylark and Good Soldier Svejk and loved them.

Someone please recommend Eastern European novels. Especially from Czechia or Hungary.

Thinking about becoming a socialist. What's some good socialist literature?

Modern day race politics is the anguished thrashing of a generation grappling with how superfluous they are.

"I'm making society better! I must raise my voice and join this relevant and crucial movement! I matter!"

McCarthy IS a hack. His ideas are so unoriginal. Wow, an edgy villain that represents an idea rather than a real person. Way to go Captain Ahab- er, I mean, Judge Holden.

Also nice post-apoc novel. "Me too!", McCarthy shouted, and continued to make a name for himself aping the prose of Melville and Faulkner.

No Country was only a good movie because of Javier Bardem. Outside of him it was a paint-by-numbers thriller.

I had a goddamned blast playing Half-Life 2 and Far Cry 3 and 4, and nothing anyone says can change that.

Those games do a great job of setting up extremely varied and challenging combat scenarios, and that's all I want in a game.

Also Starcraft is so intense that I know guys who have quit playing it because it was too stressful. They play LoL all day long but get run ragged by three games of SC2. That's got to mean something.

I'm glad that your grandfather has rejected the only chance he has of experiencing aristocratic values. We should all be happy for his contentment with prole mediocrity.
