Oh God, thanks for reminding me of that guy's extremely cringey webcomics. I remember when I was an uncultured swine of a kid and somehow had the idea that all webcomics were somehow deep, interesting, or funny -- could there be such a bad thing as a bad webcomic?

That guy's comics, however, were so atrocious that even I as a kid kept asking myself, "What's the point of these? They're not funny and they're not deep even though they try to be with these huge rambling conversations and pretentious diction". I don't remember the name of the guy's webcomics though even though I clearly recognize the drawing style and gratingly long conversations, so if anyone could point out what webcomic that is I'd be much obliged for some nostalgia I could have.

I know this post is in jest, but people who think they're super smart because they can "see through" Holden's edginess and therefore the book is dumb make me upset.

It feels like if one's objection to Old Man and the Sea were simply that they think they could do a better job fishing than the main character. Even if you're right about how to pull on a line or whatever, no one will ever give a shit about /your/ fishing stories.

If you're still in the thread:

The book is basically an old man from a poor but high class family who spent his youth as a samurai drunk, getting into fights, and pissing off his adopted father.

All the anecdotes are supposed to be moral lessons, instructive of how not to live your life, but you can tell the guy was totally wistful and unrepentant. Like a "Haha, man, I remember when me and Yoruhire went on a fake pilgrimage and beat up a bunch of poor people while dressed as priests. That shit was awesome...

Starship Troopers was far more explicitly fascist and anti-communist than I thought it would be. Heinlen makes a clear contemporary analogy to the Korean War and defeating Chinese communist human wave hordes. Spends pages decontructing the Marxist surplus theory of value. He idealises a form of government formed by freikorp soldiers commities after social collapse of the West. Great book all around.

Of Human Bondage is somewhat philosophical as you might expect in a bildungsroman. One recurrent theme of the story is about Philip trying to articulate a workable ethics without God.

I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

Interesting thing though is that the art is not all that bad, I remember someone made an edit of the "Halloween party" one and you got to better appreciate the costumes of every person drawn and the detail that went into it.

That's interesting because lots of French scholars I've talked to say that the Mannheim translation captures the spirit of the text better than their understanding of the slang.

More's ideas were "practical", not very hard to implement and had zero pretense of changing the fabric of the world or to attain some gnostic vision like leftism.
Some of said ideas were shit, but it doesn't fit at all what people except from the word utopia.

LMAO you should swap the second and third columns. HPMOR is unbelievably awful. It never delivered on any of its promises, and became unforgivably bloated and self-indulgent. I slogged through to the end just to see whether Yudkowsky would ever deliver on the "investigating science with magic" premise, but he never did. This guy demolishes it in his review:

Uhh, that should be "investigating magic with science", but to be honest either of those would have been great had they actually appeared in the story.

No, the magic genetics thing doesn't count.

Thanks for this, I'm currently on chapter 79 and I've been having doubt ever since the shit with the girls hunting down bullies. I'll read the review when I've finished the fic.

>HPMOR is unbelievably awful.
I can't agree with this at all. From what I've read so far, at worst it can only be "starts great, ends shit" work. Tell me more, I guess?
