Didn't lit take that survey recently, revealing that we had a majority of left wing Bernie supporters?

If you like four of his books, make a thread on them. Try to spark a conversation up.

Does he not capitalize the first letter of his sentences too?

Implying a board is not an amorphous, shifting blob with no center, that is constantly shifting in identity and which has an aligned consensus

Does he also not puctuate questions with one of these-->>'?'?

Yeah he's ok
I liked Ancient Evenings

I enjoyed The Executioner's Song
Harlot's Ghost
The Naked and the Dead
and The Fight

didn't care for Why Are We In Vietnam?
The Armies of the Night
Ancient Evenings (parts of it were excellent but other parts went on for way too long)

I thought Advertisements for Myself was a mixed bag. Some great essays and short stories and some bs and egotism.

I plan on reading his book on Oswald some day but have a pretty big backlog at the moment.

Mailer was a Trotskyist for most of his career though he did move more to the right in his elderly years.

I enjoyed ...Vietnam?. You could really see his Burroughs influence shine through, plus the word play was good here and there.

American Dream was my intro to Mailer. Great book also.
