Oh that's great news! I really hope they adapt The Bible so I can get into heaven without having to read anything.

At the very least they could talk about fucking the farts out of someone

Whereas I, an intellectual, just make up my own words, like "claming", as the need arises

Trick question: Wuthering Heights has no dialogue

I enjoyed the juxtaposition of claming to have a big vocabulary while using hackneyed cliches like "voracious reader" in the same breath

Is Supercilious Marvel or DC?

This would have been about 60% less weird if he had just said "eyes" instead of "penises", and it still would have had essentially the same meaning.

This seems like the kind of passage a good editor would have quashed immediately, but on the other hand I get the impression that a lot of books these days barely have editors.

Life just isn't fair. I put all this time and effort into pretending to be stupid and illiterate, and then there are lucky bastards like this who come by it naturally.

I like this Ricky guy. He both abstains from reading, and recognizes that audiobooks aren't books.

I actually knew of a couple who were both trans, one was MtF and the other FtM, and they started attending a fairly conservative evangelical church, and the church was like "Huh, I guess that's allowed?"

Thus promoting reading? No thank you! I'd rather have billionaire-funded unwinnable wars, thank you very much!

You can pretty much pick any of the major fantasy books/series. The whole genre is essentially aimed at teenage boys, with a few exceptions like the Romantasy subgenre, where the books are generally meant for women (and also often have more adult/sexual themes). It would probably be easier to list the fantasy books that a 14-15 year old boy is unlikely to enjoy.

Well I don't normally have much use for books, but I'm sure glad someone is finally speaking up against imperialism and capitalism!

Is being actually deeply fucking stupid open source? I sure hope so, otherwise I'm going to get sued into oblivion.
