Here I am, all set to buy the Book Safe -- what's not to love about it? It's an actual book with a rectangle carved out in the center where you can stash shit. I love stashing shit. Perfect
( Read more... )
Some of these were books I was planning to read. You just stopped me. I'd been looking forward to Cook's treatment in particular, because it got good reviews in some corners (though probably not from actual classicists), but not so much right now. Seriously, 128 pages is totally inadequate. I write bad Trojan War fic. I will never be done with Achilles.
Re: Ithaka, KEGGER SCENE AT U. OF TROY OR IT DOESN'T COUNT. :D
I skimmed through it and I wasn't all that impressed. Some sentences were nicely constructed, but on the whole, it read like a stripped-down summary of the two epics. With a lot of flowery language. Though, granted, I was skimming it in the bookstore. But still, she couldn't have given me two hundred more pages so I could turn it into a book safe? I have shit that needs hiding.
(I'm sure your Trojan War fics are better than this crap.)
Eur, that's the worst kind, when the writer doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the table. Yeah, pot, kettle, black, I know. WHO ARE NON-BADFIC WRITERS TO JUDGE ME. BADFIC IS MY METIER. :O
Unfortunately, you made the mistake of posting about your secret underground cache of five-dollar bills. *rubs hands and cackles*
Yeah, the crap she did bring was a watered-down diet version of Achilles but she gets praised for her "new interpretation" of him in reviews? That kinda annoys me. One example of this "new interpretation" is that Achilles hates being in the underworld and would rather be a living slave than king of the dead. Yeah, that sorta happened in the Odyssey.
I wish I had a cache for my five-dollar bills, they're kinda just there waiting for me to buy a cup of coffee with them since I have no book safe. Fraggin' capitalists, don't you people want me to buy shit?
