>Because your uni is shit too
No it is not.
>And if you don't think your uni is shit then you're either living in the nineteenth century or an idiot who buys into modern academia.

Well that explains this thread. You think you're too cool for academia and you posted her so you can get self-assuring pats on the back. It is my fault for coming here, pls continue.

I'm planning on reading Hamlet from personal interest, but the only other Shakespeare I've read is Romeo and Juliet, and I didn't care for that at all.

Should I go in expecting to come out feeling the same about Hamlet? Are the plays similar in structure/style/technique/whatever?

Tu sonnes bien trop vindicatif pour être crédible plus de deux pseudo-arguments. D'autant que je suis loin d'être le dernier des cancres adulateur de Lévy ou Musso; ta comparaison scolaire tombe un peu à plat. Oui il y a des maladresses. De là à me chier des tantrums injustifiés y a quand même une marge polie qui relève de la sociabilité et des échanges intellectuels normaux. Tu crois vraiment représenter une caste littéraire supérieure en blamant les débutants comme ça? Tu sonnes au moins aussi prétentieux que cette prose que tu dénigres dans mon texte.

Fair enough, I just find the reasons people give for being a vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, whatever the fuck little group they've jumped into, are more often than not utterly retarded.

But thats just my opinion

Stop trying to justify your elitism, butthurt plebs. It's a fantasy book, not a piece of moving literature. It's an action movie in book format, not an incomprehensible art movie in book form.

Your opinion has no value.
That book won the 3 major SF awards for best novel (hugo, nebula and locus).
That's almost like an unanimous recognition of its merits.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS DAY JUST WENT FROM SHIT TO AWESOME. I just found a twenty dollar amazon gift card from a year ago. Book buying time! So, what is the best translation of The Brothers Karamazov?

Look, let's cut the "suffering artist" bullshit, because Rollins refuses to extend it to others, so why should he be considered super special just because you seem to like him!?! I mean I can think of a lot of grumpier, more talented folks who had a lot more personal suffering experienced than to see someone else get shot-- Miles Davis living life of racism from the 1930's on trumps getting to see acquaintance shot. And by the way, how does shit like that happen unless someone has seriously fucked up!?! What anon, are you mad!?!

I have played both Mass Effects, and I have degrees in both Eng. Lit. and Comp. Sci.
I gotta say: Narrative is narrative, if you want to quibble about what "good" narrative is, then it sounds like there's a paper in it for you. You can go all Post-modernist Literary Criticism on their speculatively fictitious asses... Also, we can get all of the narrative generated by recent Sci-Fi television scripts currently in production in B.C.!

I disagree.
