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 1462 Views
Hey, now (copy/paste) Camilla - 09/01/2010 07:48:56 PM 1007 Views
People should think about these things before recommending books. Tom - 09/01/2010 08:13:10 PM 1033 Views
Which is why I voted for Bulgakov's M & M. The Shrike - 09/01/2010 10:56:00 PM 1096 Views
Agreed. Madame Bovary is serious literature. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:02:34 AM 963 Views
Are you nuts!!?? Milla - 10/01/2010 08:37:47 AM 1106 Views
I wanted to do that too. Ghavrel - 10/01/2010 01:24:42 AM 858 Views
It's bloody marvellous. *NM* Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:05:47 AM 413 Views
Our next discussions will have preselected options. Jacob - 10/01/2010 01:00:59 AM 1021 Views
I heartily support the move from democracy to oligarchy! Tom - 10/01/2010 01:04:13 AM 953 Views
I agree. Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:01:33 AM 961 Views
I disagree slightly Larry - 09/01/2010 09:07:12 PM 905 Views
Well, by that standard a Jackie Collins novel is worthy of debate. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:08:04 AM 959 Views
I think you misunderstand my intent Larry - 10/01/2010 01:10:57 AM 1012 Views
You poopyhead! Tom - 10/01/2010 01:19:11 AM 1049 Views
Oh, I almost forgot Larry - 10/01/2010 01:11:50 AM 946 Views
Ooh...I'd love to hear them!!! What did Eco say to trash Dumas? *NM* Tom - 10/01/2010 01:19:43 AM 357 Views
Here's the French translation from Eco's work on supermen Larry - 10/01/2010 01:39:28 AM 1017 Views
I love it. Strangely enough, though, he wrote an introduction to the book. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:54:24 AM 880 Views
Not really strange as Eco has long been fascinated by this book DomA - 11/01/2010 05:01:56 PM 914 Views
Did he mention it in his book on ugliness? Tom - 11/01/2010 05:12:55 PM 796 Views
Re: Did he mention it in his book on ugliness? DomA - 11/01/2010 05:52:29 PM 1120 Views
I like Eco's distinction between light fiction and literature. Tom - 12/01/2010 04:16:38 PM 1007 Views
Re: Here's the French translation from Eco's work on supermen DomA - 11/01/2010 03:49:15 PM 1001 Views
That's fascinating. Of course, I disagree with Eco's praise. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:12:25 PM 830 Views
Re: That's fascinating. Of course, I disagree with Eco's praise. DomA - 11/01/2010 06:22:24 PM 1102 Views
I agree that abridging it would not work well. Tom - 12/01/2010 04:06:26 PM 972 Views
In which case... Jacob - 12/01/2010 05:22:34 PM 781 Views
Yes Camilla - 13/01/2010 07:56:08 PM 1075 Views
Not really. Tom - 15/01/2010 01:18:10 PM 1211 Views
I think there are plenty of things that can be discussed. Rebekah - 09/01/2010 10:00:06 PM 1158 Views
Discussed and put to rest in 5 minutes or less, perhaps. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:17:02 AM 1015 Views
Depends on who you are, one would imagine. Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:16:11 AM 1077 Views
<pretentious>Well, why should we cater to the lowest common denominator? Tom - 11/01/2010 02:17:03 AM 977 Views
Heh. Rebekah - 11/01/2010 07:49:47 AM 865 Views
I'd laugh... LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 07:21:38 PM 757 Views
Tom is the primary reason I want an ignore feature again. lord-of-shadow - 12/01/2010 02:17:29 AM 794 Views
I'm glad to hear that. *NM* Tom - 12/01/2010 04:17:30 PM 353 Views
And so you've reached this decision about Tom... Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:10:44 PM 966 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 1068 Views
It's frustrating though... LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 04:18:37 AM 1033 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 1034 Views
Perhaps. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 05:26:38 AM 753 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 814 Views
I was mostly just giving an example. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 06:14:04 AM 928 Views
You're not. Legolas - 12/01/2010 02:16:09 PM 882 Views
Her next series sounds interesting LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 02:20:17 PM 749 Views
It does, but the reviews I've seen aren't too enthusiastic. Legolas - 12/01/2010 02:29:26 PM 789 Views
Yes, but how so? LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 02:39:59 PM 885 Views
Well... Elaine - 13/01/2010 07:03:08 PM 955 Views
Honestly... Legolas - 13/01/2010 07:51:14 PM 932 Views
Absolutely. Elaine - 14/01/2010 12:55:00 PM 1076 Views
Re: Absolutely. Legolas - 14/01/2010 01:57:47 PM 905 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 884 Views
I'm staying far, far away from Seneca. Legolas - 15/01/2010 02:01:49 PM 1130 Views
Ah, yes. The Apocolocyntosis. Possibly the least amusing humor ever penned. I hate Seneca. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/01/2010 02:14:32 AM 334 Views
ah i didn't realize it was already out LadyLorraine - 13/01/2010 11:44:53 PM 724 Views
'tis. Elaine - 14/01/2010 12:56:11 PM 1112 Views
I really don't think it would. Rebekah - 12/01/2010 07:49:32 AM 944 Views
I have tried before. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 01:59:24 PM 857 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 1031 Views
That's bullshit Larry - 12/01/2010 11:12:55 PM 988 Views
True, true. Rebekah - 16/01/2010 08:54:16 AM 683 Views
Luckily for you... Larry - 16/01/2010 08:59:23 AM 1076 Views
Re: "Omigod you read light fantasy?" Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:04:41 PM 1160 Views
Har. *NM* Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:03:31 PM 512 Views
I'm quite enjoying it. Nebhead - 09/01/2010 10:40:30 PM 908 Views
A kid's book of adventure doesn't translate into a good book club discussion. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:21:11 AM 828 Views
I have to agree LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 12:36:55 AM 968 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 365 Views
It was half bullshit, you must understand LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 03:59:42 PM 850 Views
Come on, there is lovely tragedy there... jh - 13/01/2010 07:32:49 PM 813 Views
I am pleased to be referenced in a cross-board discussion. *NM* Raserei - 18/01/2010 09:29:45 PM 483 Views
