I have tried before. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 12/01/2010 01:59:24 PM
And I honestly do not feel it would be accepted here. Not without some ass or three cutting half way in and ruining whatever discussion there was with "omigod why did you waste your time with this book?" and then proceeding to demean everything that's been discussed.

I know not everyone is like that...but there are enough people who are that I really don't feel like bothering.
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!
Continued Love of my Aussie <3

The Count of Monte Cristo was a terrible choice for a book discussion. Tom - 09/01/2010 07:41:01 PM 1821 Views
Hey, now (copy/paste) Camilla - 09/01/2010 07:48:56 PM 1347 Views
People should think about these things before recommending books. Tom - 09/01/2010 08:13:10 PM 1396 Views
Which is why I voted for Bulgakov's M & M. The Shrike - 09/01/2010 10:56:00 PM 1420 Views
Agreed. Madame Bovary is serious literature. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:02:34 AM 1267 Views
Are you nuts!!?? Milla - 10/01/2010 08:37:47 AM 1537 Views
I wanted to do that too. Ghavrel - 10/01/2010 01:24:42 AM 1193 Views
It's bloody marvellous. *NM* Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:05:47 AM 575 Views
Our next discussions will have preselected options. Jacob - 10/01/2010 01:00:59 AM 1368 Views
I heartily support the move from democracy to oligarchy! Tom - 10/01/2010 01:04:13 AM 1305 Views
I agree. Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:01:33 AM 1261 Views
I disagree slightly Larry - 09/01/2010 09:07:12 PM 1248 Views
Well, by that standard a Jackie Collins novel is worthy of debate. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:08:04 AM 1303 Views
I think you misunderstand my intent Larry - 10/01/2010 01:10:57 AM 1349 Views
You poopyhead! Tom - 10/01/2010 01:19:11 AM 1413 Views
Oh, I almost forgot Larry - 10/01/2010 01:11:50 AM 1278 Views
Ooh...I'd love to hear them!!! What did Eco say to trash Dumas? *NM* Tom - 10/01/2010 01:19:43 AM 513 Views
Here's the French translation from Eco's work on supermen Larry - 10/01/2010 01:39:28 AM 1368 Views
I love it. Strangely enough, though, he wrote an introduction to the book. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:54:24 AM 1223 Views
Not really strange as Eco has long been fascinated by this book DomA - 11/01/2010 05:01:56 PM 1227 Views
Did he mention it in his book on ugliness? Tom - 11/01/2010 05:12:55 PM 1142 Views
Re: Did he mention it in his book on ugliness? DomA - 11/01/2010 05:52:29 PM 1513 Views
I like Eco's distinction between light fiction and literature. Tom - 12/01/2010 04:16:38 PM 1360 Views
Re: Here's the French translation from Eco's work on supermen DomA - 11/01/2010 03:49:15 PM 1425 Views
That's fascinating. Of course, I disagree with Eco's praise. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:12:25 PM 1150 Views
Re: That's fascinating. Of course, I disagree with Eco's praise. DomA - 11/01/2010 06:22:24 PM 1470 Views
I agree that abridging it would not work well. Tom - 12/01/2010 04:06:26 PM 1339 Views
In which case... Jacob - 12/01/2010 05:22:34 PM 1129 Views
Yes Camilla - 13/01/2010 07:56:08 PM 1414 Views
Not really. Tom - 15/01/2010 01:18:10 PM 1579 Views
I think there are plenty of things that can be discussed. Rebekah - 09/01/2010 10:00:06 PM 1497 Views
Discussed and put to rest in 5 minutes or less, perhaps. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:17:02 AM 1363 Views
Depends on who you are, one would imagine. Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:16:11 AM 1395 Views
<pretentious>Well, why should we cater to the lowest common denominator? Tom - 11/01/2010 02:17:03 AM 1313 Views
Heh. Rebekah - 11/01/2010 07:49:47 AM 1207 Views
I'd laugh... LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 07:21:38 PM 1094 Views
Tom is the primary reason I want an ignore feature again. lord-of-shadow - 12/01/2010 02:17:29 AM 1140 Views
I'm glad to hear that. *NM* Tom - 12/01/2010 04:17:30 PM 530 Views
And so you've reached this decision about Tom... Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:10:44 PM 1321 Views
I don't get that. Well, of course I do from Tom, but let's put him aside for this discussion. Ghavrel - 12/01/2010 03:35:21 AM 1442 Views
It's frustrating though... LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 04:18:37 AM 1382 Views
I think if you posted that (or something like it) people would reply to it. Darth_Katie - 12/01/2010 05:08:53 AM 1395 Views
Perhaps. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 05:26:38 AM 1101 Views
Given the people who have read the Kushiel books, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. Ghavrel - 12/01/2010 05:58:33 AM 1153 Views
I was mostly just giving an example. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 06:14:04 AM 1253 Views
You're not. Legolas - 12/01/2010 02:16:09 PM 1204 Views
Her next series sounds interesting LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 02:20:17 PM 1091 Views
It does, but the reviews I've seen aren't too enthusiastic. Legolas - 12/01/2010 02:29:26 PM 1132 Views
Yes, but how so? LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 02:39:59 PM 1221 Views
Well... Elaine - 13/01/2010 07:03:08 PM 1308 Views
Honestly... Legolas - 13/01/2010 07:51:14 PM 1302 Views
Absolutely. Elaine - 14/01/2010 12:55:00 PM 1426 Views
Re: Absolutely. Legolas - 14/01/2010 01:57:47 PM 1255 Views
In short, not a good name for a daughter. At least not one with an interest in Classics. Ghavrel - 15/01/2010 05:32:35 AM 1216 Views
I'm staying far, far away from Seneca. Legolas - 15/01/2010 02:01:49 PM 1463 Views
Ah, yes. The Apocolocyntosis. Possibly the least amusing humor ever penned. I hate Seneca. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/01/2010 02:14:32 AM 478 Views
ah i didn't realize it was already out LadyLorraine - 13/01/2010 11:44:53 PM 1092 Views
'tis. Elaine - 14/01/2010 12:56:11 PM 1457 Views
I really don't think it would. Rebekah - 12/01/2010 07:49:32 AM 1291 Views
I have tried before. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 01:59:24 PM 1172 Views
If it is well-written and defends the value of the book, I don't see why you shouldn't post it. Tom - 12/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 1364 Views
That's bullshit Larry - 12/01/2010 11:12:55 PM 1331 Views
True, true. Rebekah - 16/01/2010 08:54:16 AM 1043 Views
Luckily for you... Larry - 16/01/2010 08:59:23 AM 1437 Views
Re: "Omigod you read light fantasy?" Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:04:41 PM 1493 Views
Har. *NM* Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:03:31 PM 700 Views
I'm quite enjoying it. Nebhead - 09/01/2010 10:40:30 PM 1314 Views
A kid's book of adventure doesn't translate into a good book club discussion. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:21:11 AM 1198 Views
I have to agree LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 12:36:55 AM 1308 Views
How did you find deeper meaning (pun intended) in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 02:17:55 AM 520 Views
It was half bullshit, you must understand LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 03:59:42 PM 1181 Views
Come on, there is lovely tragedy there... jh - 13/01/2010 07:32:49 PM 1142 Views
I am pleased to be referenced in a cross-board discussion. *NM* Raserei - 18/01/2010 09:29:45 PM 652 Views
