Libraries

How can you not love libraries? A place you can NEVER get bored with exception of having a migrane.

Libraries are not only great, they are also important!

I’ll be a librarian in four-and-a-half months!

I've always wondered what it would be like to live perminately in a library.

thats cool! lucky! i love to go to the library its like an escape from the sometimes cruel world waiting outside:D plus i love to read!

My god! It must take a lot to heat some of those rooms!

Oh, they have plenty of book to light a fire. ;)

Ha ha ha!

Oh happy fuckin' days! Libraries are also perfect places to meet girls. Reading is a passion for many people, and it's extremely easy to encounter with a persone of the opposite sex between the shelves and start talking in oh so many ways, such as: "O, you like Joyce! I haven't gotten over The Dead..."  Holy crap, I can't remember how many girls I have fucked after meeting them in a library.

I like Dubliners, if it's James Joyce you are talking about.

Pissing seems to me a very doggy style. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, as a matter of fact, it reminds me an article written by Christopher Domínguez Michael. Right there, he refers that Sartre once pissed on Chauteaubriand's grave:

"La tumba de Chateaubriand, la puerta entreabierta desde la cual oímos su voz, tal cual él lo dispuso, se encuentra en el islote del Grand-Bé, frente al mar, en Bretaña. A ese rincón de piedra, en Saint-Malo, llegó una buena tarde el joven Jean-Paul Sartre y en un gesto canino que lo pinta al natural, se orinó sobre la tumba".

Of course, those Domínguez Michael's words were written against the French philosopher. But in Precipitation's case, I thinks it's just funny. I mean: I think, besides it's a doggy style, he certainly precipitates on Joyce just as the rain would do it (every rain is a precipitation). "Gold rain", to be exact, as once Bukowski (this asshole really sucks) wrote about one of his whores's pissings. According to this dirty American, if a woman has pissed on you after having sex or during the act, that's just a great gift. Ha, ha, ha, ha, don't fuck with me.

I know, I know, Precipitation didn't mean anything like that. I just remembered these literary references and decided to offer Bestuff's guys.   

It's funny you find Ulysses unimpressive, when it's considered one of the greatest works of literature to have ever been written. Of course, I guess it all just depends on your standards.

And Fuckbird, I'm sure you meant that you were offering them to other bestuff's guys and gals.  

Oh, believe me, I know that the literati find Ulysses orgasmic. I have a BA in English, so I spent a lot of time around those literary types. The fact is, I almost always disagree with those people. I find most "canonical" literature to be unreadable. The only reason they think Ulysses is so great is because most people don't understand it. They think it makes them seem intelligent to be into it.

Also, I like Bukowski quite a bit.

I haven't read it. But I find it hilarious when people think that since you can't understand something, like a poem, it means that it's good. They like to believe they get things. I used to write nonsense poems for english, and it was hilarious what people thought it meant, when it meant absolutely nothing. It was poppycock (I love that word). Anyways, what do you do with a BA in English? Teach?

When I was in eleventh grade, we wrote Absurdist plays for my English class, and then we were supposed to choose someone else’s play and critique it. Well, this one guy critiqued mine, and he found all this “meaning” in it. After class, I went up to the teacher and told him how hilarious I thought it was that this guy had found all of this stuff in the play that I had not put in there. Rather than laughing along with me, he informed me that I had, in fact, put it in there but just hadn't been aware of it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

According to many literary critics, there is this thing called the “intentional fallacy,” which means that the author should be completely ignored when it comes to interpreting his or her work. In other words, you might believe that your poem is nonsensical, but that doesn’t mean that it is. Literary critics look for unity within the text from which they can extract meaning. I’m not saying that I agree with this; I agree with you. Literary criticism is often ridiculous and ultimately pointless. 

I do not really do anything with my degree in English. I only got it because I needed an undergraduate degree so that I could go on to obtain an Master’s in Library and Information Science.

Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.

– Mark Twain, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, "Notice", p. 1

I also like the word "poppycock", and I listened to it in a Nirvana's song for the first time: "Turnaround", as far as I remember.

Mmm... In literature there's a concept badly or well known as "entropy". It comes from Chemistry, I think, but some critics (yes, I agree with you two: they suck) took it to explain that the literary genres (poem, novel, short story, whatever) have a better quality since they are difficult to be understood quickly. Literary critics mean, for example, that several comics's content is so easy and simple that the reader doesn't enjoy them as if he was reading a book.  I don't agree completely with that theory or thesis, but there's something true in that, I guess. Joyce's case is very extreme, obviously, and perhaps that's why many people hate him or simply dislike him. Anyway, Dubliners, Exiles and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are not as difficult as Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake. 

What Precipitation's classmates interpreted about his Absurdist play proves that literature and art in general depends on conventions, and what some or most belittle today might be admired years later or just by other readers.

Finally, I thank M_eanwhile for correcting me. Yes, I meant what (he, she?) expressed better. I also want to thank Precipitation for having mentioned "intentional fallacy". It's a new concept for me (in English, I mean, 'cause I had heard something similar before in Spanish) and I really liked it.      

I just like being a smartass. No need to thank me.

Going back to the topic I have to say that one of the great thing about libraries (or book-shops or my bookshelf) is that you can meet Ellroy James and James Joyce not too far away one from the other.

you can always find the most unusual books all over the library shelves in every section

I used to be in library for hours and hours… I was so in love with books. I miss those days.

hate it only for the ironbound rules
