    Worst or most disappointing book?

    I read the trilogy of 'shock' writer William Christopher baer - distinctly average if that, Penny Dreadful was the best however on his website fans were saying how the last in the trilogy was the best - hells half acre. The plot was shoddy and the writing, poor To add cheek, members of...

    Most loved "classic" novel you've read

    One Hundread Years Of Solitude :D Amazing, epic novel that blends fantasy aspects onto a realistic world. The names were easy to remember (every character died before his name was re-introduced) - important to the mirror of time whch by extension would have to be circular, if and only if, it...

    Most harrowing chapter in a novel

    Although, Im currently reading Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky and have not finished. I have just read an early chapter when a horse gets flogged to death in front of a young child. Such is the mastery of Dostoyevsky's writing (so great I have to refer to him with a capital letter) I felt...

    Sensing the Life of the World

    Not everything's about money. If you have an curious mind then you should do a liberal degree. There is nothing better than Philosophy :) Although your probably go insane :p . Especially since the only thing likely to exist is Solipsism. But then this gets rejected. Philosophical wandrings...

    Cobra

    I would :D But my brother thinks its excellent, and can easily see how it is a metaphor about being deceived; the strong preying on the weak.

    Double poem--Lustrous Curse and Sorrowed Sinner

    wow :D On there own, they don't make complete sense (i suppose that's the idea) but together they make a complelling poem. Its intersting how the women feels the victim and has love yet the man feels remorse for his lust. How she thought he was soothing and everything she wanted yet I...

    Cobra

    I liked it, im usually more of a fan of metaphysical and surrealism but this is decent. :) the viewpoint of the bird is effective :) and the way that you use a word such as 'prey' and it becomes defined and adds depth to the poem. :( The poem changes pace in the second verse, to make...

    Untitiled

    A scar is only as deep as the tragedy felt, superficial graze from cuts and falls, a mockery of 'play' is no theatre at all. Once shy and twice the fool, adversity with its stern face takes a dionysian to rule. A hero so ill-fated when all is lost is not a peasent like the rest of us; he is the...
