  1. Nah. Book is better by a nose IMO. As is Shawshank but what is REALLY mind blowing is the cumulative greatness of Different Seasons. Two standalone classics in Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and The Body (stand my me), a super creepy Nazi survivor tale in Apt Pupil, and more standard King fare with The Breathing Method. Sadly King was still considered horror pop lit when I was in undergrad. I tried to get a couple of professors to add him to their syllabi but they said the chair would have a fit
  2. Could be. Just to test the Shining is the only Stephen King movie better than the book true or false?
  3. For me it’s the close reading of text for themes, imagery, etc. I tend to do that naturally which is probably why I wound up an English major. I find I can savor beautifully written prose on a whole other level than I can with an audiobook
  4. To further derail I have LIBBY and don’t borrow audiobooks often but there are some fantastic BBC radio plays that I like to listen to. Many Sherlock Homes and Agatha Christie mysteries and a fantastic lord of the rings series. They are actual productions not just reading the unabridged works. It’s really sad to me that whole medium is likely gone forever I will download the occasional novel if I’m going to be on a long road trip but I read so much faster I usually find my mind wandering. And I’m not interested in Alvin and the chipmunks speed
  5. Poetry should be heard Plays should be watched Prose Fiction should be read Nonfiction I’m agnostic I love to read, but not everyone does. The above was my junior year high school English teacher’s approach and she got so many kids interested in literature that were completely turned off by the written word.
  6. Where did you get that copy of my classical civ midterm from fall ā€˜88?
  7. Richard West ā€œBoā€ French Should refer to him as Dick hereafter
  8. I would bet this guy has sucked more than one cock and by choice. Nttawwt
  9. Don’t you know? It was all wrapped up into and ā€œofficialā€œ investigation, and once Epstein died, apparently you aren’t able to use any of the tons of evidence against other pedophiles to go after them. Apparently, there’s a big rule about this somewhere in the justice department
  10. And antivaxxers
  11. That’s a whole lotta candy crush, flip flop
  12. The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
  13. So OP username does NOT check out?
  14. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining
