I finished John Dies at the End today, and I've got one simple question.

Why is it called John Dies at the End when... you know... he doesn't.

>> No.567455

ART

You know, I wondered that myself.

But my favorite part was at the end. When those kids go into the portal and have the adventure in the space of like five minutes.

I was worried it was ending on too serious a note, so I was grateful for that particular piece of silliness. Especially concidering how it further strengthens the references to Narnia.

You mean Shit Narnia.

That's a bingo.

Because it's a fucking joke and you're supposed to look back and laugh.

A lonely basement dweller posts about how he can't get a girlfriend.

Another, higher-status basement dweller goads him to suicide.

When he is dead, he rots, and his body leaves a stain on the concrete floor. His mother finds him a week later.

None of them understand their place in this.

I stand above them all and call them fags, and laugh.

I am Korrok!

This is not a test.

Korrock was so very, very not at all what I'd expected. And I don't mean that in a good way.

>> No.567495

>>567493

Yeah.

Who knew that Korrok was 4chan's hivemind?

I just finished Harry Potter today, and I've got one simple question.

Why is it called Harry Potter when.. you know... he doesn't.

>> No.567503

While we're asking stupid questions about JDatE;
What was the deal with that North guy? I get that he was one of the genetic experiments and all, but why was he raging against the will of Korrock? And why did he make David eat that fucking spider?

>> No.567510

>>567503

You know.

This book has a lot of plotholes.

>> No.567522

>>567503
... Fuck. Good questions. I pretty much forgot about those particular points.

>> No.567543

>>567510
But it does have a sequel.

>> No.567552

>>567543
I feel quite confident that the sequel will not fill in the plotholes of the first novel.

I just finished Atlast Shrugged today, and I've got one simple question.

Why is it called Atlas Shrugged when... you know... he doesn't?
