Tao Lin is quoted, he says: "If Cho Seung-Hui was in my writing class and wrote a story like: “Cho Seung-Hui woke up and picked up a knife and followed Tao Lin into the bathroom and stabbed Tao Lin in the ass and ass-raped Tao Lin, then put Tao Lin in a bag, brought Tao Lin home, and ate Tao Lin’s corpse,” I wouldn’t “report” him for counseling. I would treat the story like any other story. I would probably like the story because those are all things I have thought myself. I have thought about killing people, etc."

There is plenty of plot in Joyce novels, and his prose wasn't all that great as much as it was overbearing and comical. I enjoyed it, it is [Ulysses] a story told in a magnificent way, but if you can't agree that Joyce was just jerking himself off with a damp cold hold while flipping through a thesaurus for no reason other than he was insecure about using a normal diction, then you're about as much of a tryhard dickrider as Joyce was to petty fame.

He was a great author, one of the greats, and Ulysses hands down was incredible. Finnegans Wake is just a fucking mockery and isn't good in any way, I don't care who you are, it's just a joke and it's not even written in a way that could be considered 'good'. It's just stupid, and sure, it might be creative, but so is a 5 year old painting his parents taking a poo or some shit. It's not magnificent, it just is, and Finnegans Wake is just fucking stupid creative and a waste of his final writing years.

His prose shines in certain areas, the rest is boring, not because of lack of plot, but because his overbearing use of language becomes typical, unsurprising, and it creates a dampening effect of 'jesus, we fucking get it, now move the fuck along already.'

You can tell that he thought the same thing while writing Ulysses because the second half when it reads out like a play script, you know it was Joyce saying to himself, "jesus, I am tired of being a pretentious cunt, this is boring" and he jetted through a few hundred pages to make the book look healthy in size.

Then, he probably just let it sit for a while, and after he actually took time to refuel his brain, he created those incredible ending episodes which, besides the funeral one, and the one that shows the carriage procession from multiple viewpoints, are the best in the book.

Cho's recordings were fascinating, I wish NBC released it all.
Columbine was pretty much just two fags with a superiority complex. Neither of them would have done shit had they not had each other to bone, and half the shooting they were dicking around the halls. Cho was one of the most methodical, realistically goaled and successful killers ever; the kind of person he was, his development, and the destruction of the 'idols' is a work of art.

Nikki Giovanni just disenfranchised the entire third world of its constituent struggle, and got away with it because she was black. She shamed a hardworking Korean Stephen King fanfic writer, and he shot up the school. She got away with it because she was black.
