Pride and Prejudice, anyone know if it's good. I've started readingand so far it's alright, I'm just wondering if it drags or that?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn sums it up. Women swoon, blah blah blah. Thanks Jane Austen, so glad you're mentally engaging me and creating interesting philosophical questions to explore within your literature. Chick lit, hundreds of years old. Monotonous stories remain equally monotonous no matter how cute their bonnets are.

Agreed, you should check out Wuthering Heights instead, at least some brutal **** goes down.
As for me, I'm just starting: Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami. It's weird because this is by far the least developed books I've ever read by him. It's lacking subtlety and is very much a casual narration. Still, it delivers the goods. |

so far it is pretty decent. some interesting thoughts and imagery, specifically a cool chapter about how manhattan would end up without people living on it. i'm about maybe 70 or 80 pages in, so not too far. where i'm at its talking a lot about evolution and how animals could move in and evolve in our place... talking a lot about past stuff about how we evolved. which is necessary obviously. still i'd like it to get back to the humans not existing stuff
...guess i should stop posting and go read |

But instead of making books on games that could really benefit from an adaptation it's just the most popular stuff like Halo, Gears of War, World of Warcraft. Why not something with more of an actual story? There's a lot of RPGs that could make a good film adaptation. Hell even a Metal Gear Solid adaptation could be cool. Besides, anyone who would even bother to write a book or movie based on a video game probably has no talent anyway and would just take a huge steaming sh*t on the source material. |
