What is his magnus opus and why?

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 04:33:07 2015 No.6288835 There are something about Southern writers, Faulkner and O'Connor in particular, that are so interesting to me, even though I'm as far detached as possible living in a western world.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 05:24:16 2015 No.6288929 >>6288922 how the fuck is as i lay dying boring?

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 05:32:19 2015 No.6288951 >>6288835 Because it's a unique culture that's almost the same Western way of life while also being more archaic and exciting.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 09:10:20 2015 No.6289306 >>6288792 I finished Light in August a few days ago. It had some amazing moments, but for the most part I really just didn't care. As I Lay Dying and The Sound and The Fury were fantastic. Can't wait to read Absalom, Absalom!.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 09:27:30 2015 No.6289348 >>6288835 James Franco's from California though. Does that really count as the South? Een though, obviously, it's pretty much in the south.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 09:29:13 2015 No.6289352 >>6288788 Yup.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 09:46:56 2015 No.6289397 >>6289353 It's almost 300 actually. You're both plebs

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 10:00:27 2015 No.6289434 >>6289397 Mine is 239 and had an absurd amount of empty pages between chapters. I'm sure there are editions under 200 pages, even if they aren't too nice to read.

What is everyones favorite work by james franco?

I like the movie where he is smoking the weed but doesn't want the other person to know he is smoking the weed and it gets really awkward and funny because he's trying to hide the fact that he was just smoking weed!

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 10:18:50 2015 No.6289478 >>6289434 can confirm i read a version that was only 150 pages, the words were so condensed

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 12:25:08 2015 No.6289744 >>6288788 It depends on the mood I'm in whether its this or TSATF.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 19 12:28:03 2015 No.6289757 >>6288835 Where do you live? As a Southerner, I love Southern Gothic authors, but I could see something being lost in translation, so to the speak, outside of the South.
