Was it autism?

Does anyone have reliable info on how much a great writer usually drinks?

I know most of them enjoy wine and beer, but how much do they actually drink?

Is two bottles of wine a week a decent quantity?

definitely

you will never convince me otherwise. Ignatius Reilly master race.

Why he's such an asshole? I get it being smarter the most of the crowd and a get it him being a lady piece of shit. But why treat his mother that way? And why being so counterproductive? The point is that some smart people thinks everything and everyone in the society is against them? I'm enjoying the book so far btw.

Underground Man. Feh. He has nothing on the erudition and sophistication of Ignatius Reilly.

You just hitting your head against the Ignorance tree hoping for an apple to fall don't you.
You literally avoid watching a clip and then wonder why other people are calling you close-minded. I can't even think of an analogy that's clearer. People are calling you close-minded, and pseudo-intellectual because you LITERALLY refuse to open yourself up to experience and then want a pat on the back for it.

And nobody is expecting you to watch Terry Pratchett's movies or read Terry Pratchett's books, You're under no obligation to watch the clip. It's not ignoring the clip that damns you. It's wanting the pat on the back, it's the fact that you want praise for considering yourself too good to watch something or read something, it's the fact that you're still lurking in a memorial thread to someone who wrote genre fiction, and bitching about genre fiction. It's about the fact that you equate genre fiction to crack, and consider what you read to be fine aged cognac.

Do you get it? Is there any way to spell it out for you? What you do that is obscene is not the avoidance of genre fiction, it's your fervent desire for people to praise you for being above genre fiction. Watching a short clip from a Terry Pratchett movie is a waste of your time, but making several posts complaining about Terry Pratchett isn't. You're so far up your own ass that you're getting high on the methane fumes.

It's about a quest for self improvement so blind that you've actually convinced yourself that the world gives any more of a fuck about an improved version of you. At other times you'd be pitiable, but in a thread devoted to someone who actually did shit instead of spending all of his time trying to polish his own self image? You're not pitiable, you're laughable at best and a damned annoyance.

You've gone full Ignatius J. Reilly, and you should never go full Ignatius J. Reilly.

He IS /lit/

When I bought this book in New Orleans the lady said, "not many people here take to reading this book anymore because they see too much of themselves in it. You never hear anyone talking about it anymore, and it's because they can't face reality."

Guess /lit/ is just like the people of New Orleans because this shit hasn't been posted yet.
