Aug 22, 2017 Yeah, I'm sure your time is better spent assembling a txt file of quotes from crackpots you can hide behind instead of engaging in any semblance of genuine discourse. Imbecile.
Aug 22, 2017 You don't take notes when you read? Or do you read at all? Lmfao. Your argument is literally “ANTI-SEMITE!” You have contributed nothing of any intellectual value to this “discourse”.
Aug 22, 2017 There is no argument to be had. You have the social capacity of a teenage atheist. You cower behind walls of text you pull from literature and authors already critiqued and dismissed by their actual peers. You champion intellectual rigor like kids who wear t-shirts with bands they've never heard on them. There are entire libraries of primary and secondary accounts of the holocaust from all sides which you conveniently sweep aside to maintain a narrative that lets you hold somebody else accountable for your sad, pathetic life.
Aug 22, 2017 You obviously do man....you hound me on almost everything I post stuff like in this thread which I'm obviously just kidding about But hey whatever
Aug 22, 2017 Critiqued, no. Dismissed without actually having read them, absolutely. What an inane analogy. I have been supplementing my arguments with excerpts from a book you're criticizing but never read. You're citing ADL, a Jewish organization of all things, as an objective authority on anti-Semitism. Talk about a fallacy. Have you read any of them?
Aug 22, 2017 If only @Charlie Work had an IQ above room temperature, this could have been at least somewhat interesting. Too bad.
Aug 22, 2017 I used to read a lot a few years ago but cut back. Recommend me some good books, maybe I'll get back into it.
Aug 22, 2017 GOAT book but I was kinda let down by the film tbh. It was solid but I feel like a lot of it didn't translate that well to the screen -- but idk if anyone could have handled it better than PTA. Have you read any other Pynchon? I got like 100 pages into Gravity's Rainbow but I need to pick that up again.
Aug 22, 2017 I am very big on the film tbh, I recommend revisiting it at some point, it reveals itself more on repeated viewings imo. I've read V. & The Crying of Lot 49, both are great, I'm especially a big fan of The Crying of Lot 49 and if there was another I'd like to see adapted into a film it would be that one. I started reading Mason and Dixon but I fell off about 100 pages or so in, and I haven't been reading as much the past few years I do plan on picking that back up and going deeper into his catalog at some point though. I've always been scared of Gravity's Rainbow tbh, but one day.
