Have you seen the movie?

It's an absolute travesty.

Master and Margarita

Rothfuss is very talented at writing, but terrible at telling a story. This book is absolute shit, and even his writing couldn't save it.

>>4452194
I saw the movie and thought it was kind of amusing. So I thought "surely the book will be at least as good!".
Nope. NOPE.

>>4452218
I'm a big music guy, so going into the movie, I was expecting all kinds of music talk and references and whatnot

What I got was just /r9k/

No, you got /mu/. The book is even worse, it's like actual greentext from /mu/, namedropping included.

The one part of the movie I thought was really great was when John Cusack told Jack Black his top 5 favorite albums, then Jack Black was like "I win" and proceeded to give every reason why his list was only a cookie-cutter mold of the ideal top 5: he used the perfect types of albums from the perfect time periods in the perfect order to effectively give the illusion what any given music nerd would view as an "educated" taste.
But yeah the rest was super forgettable. I'm usually really into music-culture banter and fan theories and all, but the movie just didn't deliver for me. I started the book and then decided it was worth it.

This book is just garbage.
Lovecraft is more skilled than this "author".

Never far from nowhere by Andrea Levy.

absolute dogshit. Had to read it for school.

the story about two niggletta-sisters and how one of them has a "good" life and the other one fucks everything up... Its just so bad, its just not interesting.

also I know if a book is good after ~30 pages max.

to kill a mockingbird

>>4452308
Why's that? The only issues I've heard someone have with it is that the writing style uses incomprehensible thesaurus-clung vocab and too often takes multiple paragraphs to convey a single gesture by a character.
Oh, and from my perspective, the T.J. Eckleberg metaphor never ends up making any real sense, along with the theme of colors in the book. But maybe that's just me being oblivious.
But aside from that, what do you think makes this book garbage?

The story itself is low-tier television drama at best and hogwash at its worst. Whether or not the characters all being unlikable was the point, Fitzgerald never gives the reader incentive to actually care about what happens to them or where they come from. The television show Breaking Bad had unlikable characters but still was interesting enough to keep people watching, so I don't see how this highly respected American novel couldn't do the same thing.

On the subject of themes and symbols, it's all entry-level. Nothing here is profound, but the author and your high school English teachers will act like it's the most amazing thing on the planet. Honestly, Fitzgerald's vocabulary didn't bother me too much, but he's no T.S. Elliot.

What we have in The Great Gatsby is bad storytelling and low level use of symbolism all contained within a masturbatory script. It's no wonder Fitzgerald's wife went the way that she did.

>>4452390
Thank you so much for this. I understand completely. What is considered high-level use of symbolism? As in, how can I tell symbolism is being used well? When I don't have think about it too much? (e.g. "What on earth does the color green MEAN?" "Why is Gatsby's car Yellow?")

I really appreciate you helping me out with this. I am a /lit/ baby and have read maybe one T.S. Elliot poem in my life and I couldn't even tell you its name.

>>4452425

I'm not the most well-read person on /lit/ (I enjoy reading philosophy and essays, but in fiction I fall short). I think that a high-level symbolism is something that you don't notice at all.

I started a thread the other day about I book I bought, "Pooh and the Philosophers: In Which it is Shown That All of Western Philosophy is Merely a Preamble to Winnie-the-Pooh". It's cheap on Amazon and I'd recommend it if you are interested in a humorous look at symbolism.

The second chapter details how Pooh riding a balloon to get honey is how he's testing the Pythagorean theory of the shape of the earth (and honey is symbolic of truth and light, as it is in other forms (e.g. Jerusalem as "the land of milk and honey")), and how him being stung by a bee is representative of the pain of a failed hypothesis.

>>4452450
Oh I see.
So you're at the approximate mental level where concepts have to be explained to you using children's cartoon characters.
That explains a few things.

>>4452450
Oh, a friend of mine told me about that one. Not because he studies Western philosophy or reads scholarly essays, but because he just loves Winnie the Pooh, and, getting older, decided he needed some intellectual justification for this. I'll ask him if he ended up buying a copy. Thank you for your time. Goodbye.

And, erm, didn't Plato write a lot of shit out as plays?
Aren't plays for children? It's like watching a TV show. Ha-ha-ha. Plato is for infants, silly play-writers!

That's what you sound like.
I just thought it was a fairly humorous book. But I guess there's no fun allowed.

>>4452479
They weren't plays, they were dialogues you dunderhead.
They were never meant to be performed.
You really are dumb.

>>4452484

What's the difference between a play and a dialogue?
Intent, is that it? Don't make me laugh. Take something recent, like Perry's "A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality". You've got a setting and characters interacting with each other written out in a more-or-less play format. It certainly could be performed.

Putting that aside, you sound like you've got a stick up your ass. Let's say this Pooh book could actually communicate all of Plato, Heidegger, Kant, etc. very well. Isn't the concept what is important, not the collection of words used to express that concept?

Had to read it for an English course taught by a crazy enviro-nazi bitch. It was the only book I had to read in my schooling that I hated. Pure fanatic drivel.

to spook a stirnerbird

it's written like a boring interview in a bad magazine.
every single character speaks with the same voice.
my ex-girlfriend recommended this book to me. i put the book down and broke up with her shortly thereafter for making me read something so awful

Unbelievably bad. Just holy shit.

>>4452450
>I think that a high-level symbolism is something that you don't notice at all.

wrongwrongwrong. a good symbol is obvious it and fits whatever its representing so perfectly that you think that there's never been any other way to describe it, except that nobody other than this author right here has made that comparison before

an example of a good symbol or metaphor would be the comparison between time and a river; whoever first made that comparison is a genius. that comparison creates a beautiful image that is accessible across all cultures, races, religions, politics and it is SIMPLE but at the same time it is completely correct. i mean, time is a river, isn't it? it's constantly flowing forward, never backward, always one direction, and it always will, time is flow, time is progression, but time is also nature, time carries you, time pushes you even, you can't fight time because time is a current.

do you see? do you see? subtle symbols are usually just intentionally incoherent, just because an author doesn't draw attention to his thought doesn't mean that the thought was particularly clever or apt, it just means that he made it hard to find. I like big complicated novels like, say, gravity's rainbow for example, but i think that it might get some of its acclaim based on people finding it hard to understand. difficulty isn't necessarily a sign of good writing, SIMPLICITY is the true sign of good writing, in my opinion.

>>4452432
I agree with you wholeheartedly. The book is just so boring. It's mind-boggling that it is one of the foundational books of the horror genre.

>>4452733
this one confuses me. i seriously dont understand how it has sold so well or why it is popular or why a damn movie was made about it. hunger games and that i at least understand, as its at least entertaining and there's character connection going on, but this one? its just a bunch of random snippets of the same character with a new name being interviewed. and its an interview so by definition you already know the dick head survives, so the suspense is dead.

also the movie was shite as well, go figures.

I once read a short story by Bukowski. God damn, fuck that intolerable German moron.

It's just masturbation. my ex-mother recommended it to me and i was so upset after finishing it that i took a big fat shit in her dishwasher and told her she wasn't my mom anymore

I was sauntering along on 4chan one ever when a weird and anonymous youth suddenly accosted me with his fetid remarks. No doubt he was quite mad, he probably stank with a fetid fish odour (with a u, note the u please, I am very intelligent and even though I am American I use the u), and he was very fetid. I immediately responded by spending several paragraphs insulting his intelligence and class in an extremely condescending and passive-aggressive tone, no doubt due to the author's own insecurities about his social status and lack of formal education. I then proceeded to make vaguely racist comments about race-mixing and shat out a thesaurus. Oh, and there was this big scary space monster with a lot of tentacles.

Even when I start a book that turns bad, I always finish on principle. And you might think Twilight should be here, but no. That at least had a unique setting with "vampires."

This pile of gross has the most unsympathetic (FIRST PERSON) main character(s) of any book I've read. As the combo of a human surviving the invasion and a highly advanced supposedly "so cool" special member of the invading species, you'd think they would display the tiniest shred of common sense in any of their actions, even their rebellious ones, but nope. They are holding the stupid ball TOGETHER, with it duct taped around their hands to make sure they never drop it. I was so disgusted by the time they "got through" the desert, I quit. There's only one other book I've started and never finished, but this one is much, much worse.

Not him, but a play involves action, and a dialogue is just people talking. If you "performed" Plato's dialogues at a theater you'd end up with a ton of supremely bored people. They just sit around and talk with each other, and the whole thing is narrated by Socrates talking to some other dude. So you end up with a ton of people talking to each other on couches or Socrates or his friend talking to one other guy and narrating the whole thing on his own.

Murders spring up in the neighborhood, and the local detective is quick to put the blame on Craig and his friends.

got so*

I really disliked The House of Dies Drear, but I somehow go through it. Same with Catcher in the Rye. Tequila Mockingbird was alright. It's probably plebby of me to admit that I couldn't get through Lolita, no matter how many times I tried and how Nabokov is considered a brilliant writer. I was just really put off (well, felt icky) by the narrator/Humbert.

I agree; uninteresting characters engaged in a dull soap opera. Plus these are supposed to be Knowledgeable Elitist Music Snobs, and they're all passionate about ... Bruce Springsteen? Fuck you, Hornby.

Fuck all the Hornby haters, High Fidelity is fantastic.

I know nothing about this book or author, and immediately I can tell this is probably banal, self-absorbed hipster shit.
