I don't want to be a writer, I am a writer.

So, you're poorly informed, refuse to become informed, but are totally 'right' in your opinion despite being corrected by someone with multiple degrees in the subject.

Good writing doesn't 'date', it's like fine wine or cheese. Catcher was considered Young Adult from its conception, and remains a classic to this day. Kids still read it, relate to it, and love it. Adults still don't understand it.

What did you "already ready" mention?

You appear to have found three nutjobs. The internet is full of them.

Alpha males probably understand the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.

This year's reads have included Infinite Jest, Portrait of the Artist (which I read every year because it is my favorite), and House of Leaves.

Whatever. I'm sure a relationship based on ownership will work out great. Did you crazy kids get engaged straight out of high school?

I'm still excited, but it certainly doesn't top the first album. Decemberists, Arcade Fire, AND The Civil Wars?

It's a common turn of phrase that a ton of people have clearly never heard.

What the hell is a play hit? Play punches still hurt. And who wants to pantomime hitting their partner.

Look above. A poster on this thread is all "but it's different when men hit women". It's fucking not. A person shouldn't hit anyone really, but hitting a romantic partner? The actual fuck.

She's "your woman"? You don't fucking own her. You're teaching her "what you will and won't have"?

What a clever and well phrased argument. Are you an Oxford man?

Sure. But I'm going to fight like hell when someone says that the writing I've devoted my life to is 'shallow and meaningless'. I obviously don't believe it is, and I certainly have the facts to prove it. What exactly did you come in with besides the attitude?

1st and foremost, I don't disagree that these books are poorly written. I'd argue the first Hunger Games book was good, not great literature, but certainly not bad at all.

Go read The Fault in Our Stars and tell me how bad the prose is.

It might be an old school thing, but being in the 30 and under crowd...any girl who said this would be straight scorned and side-eyed. Totally disgusting wording.

The fuck is this.

That's weird. I feel like I've known women all my life, and have not heard any woman (outside of a 90's sitcom) ever say it.
