Where in the book does Mike state that homosexuality is wrong?
Through the reoccurring character Lazarus Long in Heinlein's books I've got the impression that Heinlein at first thought that there wasn't anything wrong with homosexuality but that he couldn't get past a personal "dislike" for...
The description makes it sound a lot like "The Boys from Brazil".
I browsed the reviews on Amazon and saw that the name of the bad guy is Adalwolf. Isn't this a bit obvious name for a war criminal considering that it's an older version of Adolf?
Anti nazi propaganda fiction can be...
I'm a male from Stockholm in Sweden. I was born 1983. I've read more than 100 books. Apart from books I've got a large interest for movies and I fancy directors such as Solondz, Cronenberg and Tarkovsky. Black humour is my main interest.
My taste in books is similar to my taste in movies. I...
Some of the stains in the library books make me wonder sometimes. Especially if it's a children's book. You never know what those filthy creatures can do.
What do you think the library is funded of? There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Since the title is making so many thinking about the magic/muggle combination it would seem likely that Rowling made it for something less "obvious". E.g. racial mix.
Also, wasn't Hagrid's mommy some kind of ruler?
"1984" by George Orwell and "Fahrenheit 451" Ray Bradbury would make a good foundation of the dystopic genre. They're also heavily anchored in pop culture.
"A Clockwork Orange" is another classical read on a similar theme but you only have to have seen the movie to understand the most common...
Smoking in bars and restaurants is illegal in Sweden as well. I'm not sure if it's in effect for all public places otherwise but I image that places such as cinemas and libraries have had their own restrictions on smoking. The latter could be a dangerous combination (By the way, see "The Ninth...
Dreamcatcher is the King adaptation that I dislike the most. The beginning was okay but then it just went down hill and became extremely silly, especially the part with the general.
I've only seen parts of "The Green Mile" but they were really melodramatic and not my cup of tea.
The...
Sartre isn't one of my favourite authors so perhaps I should stay away from Sade as well. "Nausea" pretty much fits your description of American 20th century in my opinion.
Anne Rice has written erotica under the pseudonym A N Roquelaure.
Tell us what you thought of it when you've read...
So it wasn't Sade that marked the beginning of "shock-trash books"?
"Troll: A Love Story" (Ennen päivänlaskua ei voi) by Johanna Sinisalo might be a better choice. It's not as graphical if I remember correctly and the author is Finnish, not American or English. But contrary to "Crash" the...
