To be honest, I think it is among the ones I enjoy the most, no lying about it.
I think many people can't enjoy it for some reason. I guess?
I think people get turned off because it is not an easy read. It does take some energy and effort.

I adored Romance of the Three Kingdoms, once I finally finished it. Heck of a long read and not for everybody though, as it tends to be repetitive. It certainly schooled me with regards to Dynasty Warriors games, though :P

All the Harry Potter books. I love all the Harry Potter books and movies. I could never pick only one as a favorite, they are all so good.

Effort? I went through it like water.
However in the end I still didn't like it because of several reasons.

First reason is that I felt like the scenario was just too much of an excuse to showcase the world. And I mean, that's better than mere descriptions of course, but it was still a disappointment at the end. I was expecting to have scenario and descriptions at the beginning, then more scenario than descriptions at the end once I got enough background, but no, scenario was alwsays nothing more than an excuse to go through all the layers of the world.

Second reason in spoiler, for people who didn't read it.
I didn't like the love story between the two protagonists. It was like
> i hate that girl
> i do hate that girl
> oh, she loves me?
> oh, i love her too then
> btw love=sex
> btw, love is more than just sex, once we get in trouble i'd die rather than compromise her
wtf

Then they betray themselves because that's what the system wants, but since their relationship seemed like bullshit all the time, that "betrayal" has less impact. It doesn't really feel like the system being so good it can destroy durable relationships. It only felt like their relationship was bullshit all this time anyways and the system wanted it to end.

Then again, in terms of ideas vehiculated, that was a good book of course.

Recently I felt in love with Murakami's books, I feel like they're meant to be read by me, although I wouldn't encourage any of my friends to read them, mainly beacuse of the specific intimacy and the way in which the author describes sexuality.
My favourite one for now is 'Kafka on the Shore'.

I got the same impression, I mean to read Murakami books for a while now, especially "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle". The "David Lynch in book form" reputation he's got makes it sound like I am going to love his books.

I didn't know that he has this kind of reputation and I don't know really know David Lynch's movies. But thank you, I'll check them. As for now I read 1Q94 and I enjoy it, but I don't feel this specific mood in it, maybe because I didn't have much time to just sit and simply read, instead I was reading while driving a bus or in a queue.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
