Re: Seen any good movies recently?

Actually I did see Red Eye , well before I even knew who Cillian Murphy was. I remember that I thought it was a terrible movie, but that "the dude who played the bad guy had very pretty eyes." :lol: Watched Wicked Little Things last night, during a fantastically massive thunderstorm. The t...

Re: Fiction selections needed for Sep./Oct. discussion

Before we put all of this thread's madness behind us, I would just like to point out that I was never trying to hand pick comments that reinforced my own views, but was merely literally pointing out which books had been given some kind of remark that suggested someone didn't want to read it. I never...

The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, The Handmaid's Tale, Blindness.

Re: 2. Eleven Years Ago

Funny is subjective. If you don't find it funny, there's nothing at all wrong with you. There's never a point where you "should" laugh, you either do or you don't, and no one will fault you if you don't. Not everyone has the same sense of humor. No worries. :)

Re: Fiction selections needed for Sep./Oct. discussion

Thanks, Gen. I'll see what I can do to narrow the list based on what people have said. Those I don't bold or comment on have not had any negative feedback. "The Tin Drum" by Günter Grass -- I don't want to read this, and neither does oblivion, as in Germany they are overexposed to it. “Les...

Re: NEW Non-Fiction Book Selection Process - Please Participate!

That sounds good to me. I'd be cool with pre-Roman; Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians, they're all fascinating cultures, and I'm sure many of us have museum experience we could share while we're reading.

Re: Fiction selections needed for Sep./Oct. discussion

FYI, I found it questionable that people would refuse to read Japanese writers because Japanese is a race, not a genre. Theomanic, you're adding a layer of contention that wasn't present in the statements made about the Japanese books. It wasn't a REFUSAL to read the books, it was an "I don't ...

Re: NEW Non-Fiction Book Selection Process - Please Participate!

I also see religious myths outside of the Judeo-Christian religions as a theme, i.e. Greek myths and Native American stories/myths. Maybe a book on why society as a whole needs myths/religion to understand the world around them, but from a perspective that doesn't only cover Judeo-Christian/Muslim t...

Re: Fiction selections needed for Sep./Oct. discussion

I made my official selection suggestion following the necessary guidelines.

All I ask now is not to be personally insulted by anyone on this forum. I don't think that's too much to ask.
