Distasteful Books

[Dumah]

The former, but you did give me a good idea for my first children's book on tape about a giant friendly purple gorilla with a van and promises of candy.

I find books that lack sufficient rape, or outright omit variants of it are distasteful.

Then again, I don't really read books; just books on tape. They don't make books on tape that are books on rape. Maybe that's where I'll start my new business. My first book on tape will be called "The Rapes of Grath." I can provide the voice of John Wayne Gacy and tentacle, just need a volunteer to do the voice-over for the illegal immigrant who is short on rent money because he/she foolishly blew it all on medication for his/her sick grandma, and is in deep with the Alabama mafia.

i love how you decided to make your immirant a hermaphodite. It really plays in well with the tentacle rape. Not only do you get multiple holes, but you also get a dick too!

Orange is all over grape rape.

I believe the book you are referring to is actually a Dragonlance book, and I believe it was the first book in the second trilogy involving the main characters of the Dragonlance story. In the proper context the story is much more palatable:

Spoiler!

The story is about one of the heroes of the first trilogy dealing with alcoholism brought on by trying to come the terms with the fact that his little brother is an archvillain.

That being said, I've never actually read the book (I stopped after the first trilogy because I had book ADD back when I used to read regularly), so I can't actually say if the story was good or bad.

It was a R.A Salvatore book,

Spoiler!

Wulfgar is having issues dealing with life after being eaten and returns from being tormented by Erratu(sp?) and gets a job bouncing in a tavern. He is paid in free booze.

Yeah, it was the Wulfgar story, I just did not want people to know that I read enough RA Salvatore to know who Wulfgar is.

I don't want to start a new topic for this but I just gave up a book called The Tain by China Mieville. Fuck this assclown, I do not think I have ever read something so smug and pretentious before in my life. If James Cameron wrote a book called "King of the World" and its just him detailing a masturbation session he had once stretched over the course of small book he would still come off as less full of himself that Mieville. Its needlessly obtuse at the best of times so much so that sometimes you don't have a clue of whats going on. Of course I issued similar complaints to a lesser board once and all I got back was "you don't get it," and when asked what I don't get all I am told is a list of fucking themes.
Racism
Marxism
Socialism
Just a list of isms like every other scifi hack that has ever wrote way to much about their bug headed lady fetish or whatever its like his books appeal to those who see the long words and go "Holy shit! look at these words! this guy must be a genius! Five stars will suck this dick again!"

I think next time I pick up a book I am just going to flip to the 'about the author' section and if I see some cornhole scowling back at me I am just going to skip it, it seems to be a pattern with such writers.

And on that note I am sick of people tying write "dark and edgy" with out being able to pull it off, Game of Thrones got away with it because while most the characters are assholes at least most of them have some sympathetic or redeeming qualities in them to make you like the character, everyone else just gets the asshole part right and expects you to like the shithead main characters.

Wulfgar was the man. Dude fucked bitches, ate elk hearts, could matched Drizzt/Bruenor in combat, got tortured by a fucking demon IN HELL, then got a job kicking peoples' asses while getting drunk and banging the waitress.

Around my house we call that Tuesday.

I heard that dude had like 40 god damned dicks.

[dr.wang]

He played second fiddle to Drizzt in most the books, also he is dead now in the Realms along with all the characters who are not Drizzt including Entrari.

Oh yeah and Luskan, my favorite city, got destroyed all because of an event that served no point outside of shoehorning Wizard's shitty new cosmology and the lame furry race they added.

We call it Wednesday in Australia.

The last books I read were the Thousand Orcs trilogy. Entreri died? Man, that is some bullshit. Although he did turn into kind of a pussy in the Sellswords with that dumb fuckin flute.

[Boxy Brown]

The last book I read was thousand orcs. Actually I only got like halfway through it. I grew out of Salvatore about as fast as I got obsessed with him.
