Who was more GOAT than hemingway - Page 3

StarFaggot · 01-25-2014, 08:15 PM

Hemingway is way overrated. His writing is too terse and uninteresting. The best is Fitzgerald hands down.

Diode · 01-25-2014, 08:17 PM

i enjoyed a farewell to arms

and that's it

you know who sucked the d?

steinbeck

so fucking unreadable

only one worse is joyce

THAT'S RIGHT I SAID JAMES JOYCE IS UNFUCKINGREADABLE

PancakeBrah · 01-25-2014, 08:19 PM

Just because the scholars agree someone is an all time great doesn't mean they're good.

I can't stand some books by some 'best writer of all-time' candidates. Some people fake liking them to feel intellectual. Just read interesting shit. No correct answer.

I THOUGHT OF A WORSE WRITER THAN JOYCE

THE BRONTE SISTERS

WUTHER THIS DICK YOU CUNTS

PancakeBrah · 01-25-2014, 08:20 PM

drunk diode, please post moar. post all the posts. go!

StarFaggot · 01-25-2014, 08:21 PM

Pancake is right. Kurt Vonnegut is constantly put up there and he doesn't speak great English so how can he write it?

PancakeBrah · 01-25-2014, 08:22 PM

lol

Certain · 01-25-2014, 08:22 PM

You won't like everyone. It's shallow not to respect an author on the basis of not enjoying his work.

kurt was a golden god of the human experience

AND HE WAS IN BACK 2 SCHOOL STARRING RODNEY DANGERFIELD

PancakeBrah · 01-25-2014, 08:25 PM

Yeah, I can respect someone for writing well. That's cool.

If I don't enjoy what they write they're not good to me. It's not shallow. It's just not good to me. There isn't some list of writers above reproach. If I was completely sober I could articulate this better. 'Scholars' suck too, for the most part.

Most people suck. So do their opinions. Scholars and their general opinion are no different.

Witty · 01-25-2014, 08:30 PM

If anyone disagrees with me they are wrong.

big baby · 01-25-2014, 08:50 PM

actually any of those all time great authors write well, we're just being judgmental based on taste. same here, some of you write well but your writing isn't my cup of tea. I mean I guess someone can think that someone doesn't write well, that a lot of people do, but idk. who cares .

Vulgar · 01-26-2014, 12:30 AM

I haven't read enough to say who's the best yet but...

I always liked Octavia Butler and Jules Verne was a g.

No one has or ever will.

Salman Rushdie
JM Coetzee
Raymond Carver
William Boyd

some more recent writers that are on par with the all time greats in my opinion.

Mael · 01-26-2014, 12:30 PM

King Solomon, for his infamously profound statement; "life is useless" (and the book of Ecclesiastes in general). Shout outs to Jack Kerouac. Still remember Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" as compulsory reading in HS. English was absolutely boring (imho).

Certain · 01-26-2014, 12:36 PM

Revisiting books you were forced to read in school can be illuminating ... or every bit as tedious.
