― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

hi guys you know what is depressing? midcentury dude literature. john updike is making me sad.

I like pavement just fine, for the record. steve malkmus is a babe.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah he IS pretty cute

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i've kicked his ass (head to head) two years in a row at fantasy football but for the year he always has a better team. that's because ffl stuff is blocked at work so i'm always late with waiver requests or responding to trades and shit.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

L, I hate Updike and his ilk, I had a rant about it on an I Love Books thread once. I'm with you.

wait you play stephen malkmus in fantasy football??

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i like pavement, but my friend M4x (of sh4rks) LOVES them.

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

he would probably blog about it

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

ok moustache.jpg no

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

the thing is, Laurel, I'm very available to hate authors before I've read anything by them, so I've always hated Updike just based on his smarmy lechy new yorker articles. this is my first time reading an updike novel (rabbit run), and now I get why people dig him; it's beautiful and insightful but god. window into Rabbit's mind is so fucking depressing and the sex scenes (which is basically all the book is) are kind of vomit-inducing. I'm going to track down your ILB post, but I suspect I will agree with it.

xpost god what is it with men I objectify growing mustaches to thwart me?! Campbell Scott + Steven Malkmus, you are forbidden to do that shit! and ghost rider, you are mean.

aww

― ghost rider, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

updike's essay on ted williams' last game for the red sox goes a long way in preventing me from hating him but yeah, except for rabbit run, he does nothing for me.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

If you read Updike strictly for the prose and not for plot, he's awesome, but all of his books are kind of the same. I used to think his stories were better than his novels, but I haven't read a novel of his in awhile.

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't read a novel in a while ;_;

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

his prose is really amazing, it is a shame he's basically a douche

Also, Updike's Kerouac parody is very very funny and very OTM. It's called "On The Sidewalk" and is about three year olds.

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

although wtf at the stupid hippy girl that asked me what LOLITA was and then got all shocked and grody'd when i gave her the rough plot outline

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

WHO IS DANNIELYNN'S DADDY

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

ok was she like 12 years old because otherwise she sounds retarded

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

well it's fair to get grody'd by the rough plotline of Lolita!!! that she hadn't heard of it is kind of wtfy

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i've been carrying around a fucking book for like a month and haven't even cracked it open, i need to really stop being unable to read.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

she is old enough to BUY BEER!

....bear in mind, at least 7/10 ppl at this fucking school would have the same reaction

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel like it's really hard to live in the west and not know of Lolita? like, gross old men call young girls they're into Lolitas in like movie reviews all the time. you don't need to have read the book to know about it.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

like like like

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah basically, i mean it's a rather common cultural touchstone to use so i'm unsure how someone could not have at least a vague idea of what it is about.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

well yeah, horseshoe, but given the fact that the title of the book alone now means something to legions of porn, uh, fanciers, there's got to be some kind of recognition for someone that hasn't actually read the book

beartraps

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

anyway, she is stupid

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

the end

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, totally, gbx.

now I'm just going to sound like the biggest baby to all of you who have real jobs keeping you from reading, but reading novels on a schedule to be tested on them kind of warps the pleasure a little bit. but I am very lucky that my "work" is reading them, I know.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

no i agree. i don't think i would have enjoyed Moby Dick as much if I had read it in a classroom.

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link

i should just go back to reading plays, it is apparently impossible for me to finish a novel anymore.

beartrap uh yeah reading massive amounts of books and novels on a deadline basically destroyed the idea of ever reading again for me so i am totally with you on that.
