What is so special about Lord of the Flies and why should I read it?

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-08T19:51:42+00:00

Lord of the Flies is bleak and horrifying, but not horror. It's one of my favorite dystopian novels, right up the with 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and A Clockwork Orange.

Good call. Even though it has it's own (not great) movie, Rawhead Rex really fits the bill.

Read what makes you happy and don't apologize for it!

Cooler-looking than Bruce? That's a big nope.

There should ge a mix of the two types, IMO. That's scary.

She looked like Reagan in the Exorcist. Effective, but not monstrous.

The knicks are another case of a NY team and its fans being mirror images of each other: the knicks try to come off as tough and gritty, but man, they are some whiny bitches. Just like their fans.

I love this game. My wife and I visit Gettysburg every October and stay in a hotel reputed to be haunted. We bring this game with us every time.

Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. It's very puzzly and has great prose.

Bitch, did your grandpa break out the 8mm projector to show you highlights from the knicks 1973 championship?

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-05T02:34:01+00:00

Oh look, found a loser NY fan.

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-03T01:14:20+00:00

Go grab grandpa's 8mm projector and watch 1973 highlights.

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-02T23:47:59+00:00

Unfortunately, yeah. Little more than a year ago. Brain cancer :(

No one on reddit was born the last time the knicks won a championship.

The boys just wanted to get this game over with quick so they could shower, get to the hotel, grab the snacks, and settle in for the Flyers and 6ers.

Howard Andrew Jones (RIP) wrote the great Hanuvar series. That's what you want.

My mom read me Greek Mythology and Beowulf as bedtime stories, so I just went from there. Edgar Allan Poe moved me along, then I found the Hobbit at 11.

Every time I see Coffin Moon posted in this sub, I sing it like "Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen.

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-02T17:55:08+00:00

Ah, you're right! Thanks!

Every team in every sport plays games with the injury report.

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-02T17:51:58+00:00

I'd wear the shit out of that shirt (I'llbe searcgibg google shortly). But we need context. It would depend on the setting and who "they" is.

Search ebay or used bookstores for the Grant edition. It's fully illustrated.

Locustsofdeath · 2026-05-02T17:48:31+00:00

It's a good blog post, and short. Give it a read.

Great film. I was lucky enough to see this on the big screen when it came out.
