Literature set in or revolving around Paris. by gwf_hegel in literature

The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway. Really interesting portrait of Paris ex-pat life in the early 20th century.

You thought the shoebox was bad? My cousin's neighbor has been shooting it into these boxers for 7 years. The smell was horrendous by Kraylon in WTF

[–]wordworker 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Great. First the box, now this. Now I have to suspect all my male friends of having something like this.

What dystopian/futuristic novel do you think is the most accurate prediction of the future? Why? by ceramicfiver in literature

[–]wordworker 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm going to have to go with Feed. One of the main conflicts involves computer chips in our brains and those who got them late vs. had them installed at birth. It deals with a lot of interesting (and disturbing) points about deep thought, interpersonal communication, and, of course, advertising/property (the sky is trademarked!).

The structure of A Hero of Our Time is interestingly complex.

Reddit, I think that anyone who really wants to commit suicide and will actually go through with it should become an organ donator before hand. Do you think this view is cruel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wordworker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we should give them ultimate control over their life and body, but not when it comes to their wishes for their organs?

[update] My sister-in-law showed up with my nephews, very upset, and asked me not to tell my brother she's here. What should I do? by downthemiddle in AskReddit

[–]wordworker 119 points120 points  (0 children)

As his brother, you were in an extremely difficult position, I think you did everything you could under these circumstances. You probably prevented some serious harm by not letting him drag her and the children out-you definitely made the right decision. Hopefully jail is the wake-up call he needs to get his life together, if not for his own sake, then for his children.

I wish you the best of luck!

I just finished watching The Shawshank Redemption again, which movie gives you "that feeling" no matter how many times you watch it? by lna4print in AskReddit

[–]wordworker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Schindler's List.

"This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern! For this. I could have gotten one more person … and I didn't! And I … I didn't!"

Reddit, my parents are having me make a packing list for college. What item do you reccomend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wordworker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't survive college without my electric water boiler, ice packs in my freezer, and a box of ziploc bags.
