Do you think C.B is a bit overrated?

[bongobill]

no!

 

[Bukfan]

I would'nt say overrated - underrated, more likely...

I would say usually loved for the wrong reasons, usually loathed for the wrong reasons.

 

[slimedog]

well, i found one. actually, i found three. but i've decided on just one of them (and not just because polygamy is illegal in most countries).

It is true, I am the one she chose. And we are the most happiest of couples.
Owing, not a little, to the fact that we live on different continents.

...we live on different continents.

not for much longer!

This is clearly an abduction threat.

 

[justine]

slimey and i will be neighbours in a three months.

 

[Father Luke]

You won't be too far from me, then.

slimedog is in Massachusetts, correct? Father Luke is in California?

Where is Rubyred moving? Or is it Slimedog that is moving?

[hoochmonkey9]

as far as I remember, slimedog moved to Sacremento. Father Luke is also in California.
so that must mean Rubyred is moving to California?
on a sidenote, how come I know so much about you people?

 

[justine]

i am indeed moving to california. hopefully by the end of feb, depending on when the US and NZ govts finally sort out their new immigration policies.

 

[Father Luke]

how come I know so much about you people?

just lucky i guess.

 

[mjp]

Ah California, the last refuge of a scoundrel.

 

[hank solo]

I can believe that. mjp 2,999 posts? :eek: Quick, say (type) something meaningful.

 

[mjp]

Too late, number 3000 snuck up on me while I wasn't paying attention.

 

[slimedog]

not for much longer!

Did I mention I'm moving to China?

It's just a coincidence, I assure you.

What do you think?

Personally, I think Factotum and Pulp are his worst books. I enjoyed Post Office quite a bit, but.

Try Ham on Rye for the story of his childhood - lots of good humanity in that one, both humor and pathos. Hollywood is hysterical every time I read it - it's the story of how the movie Barfly got made. Those are my two favorite novels of his.

The short story collection Tales of Ordinary Madness is pretty awesome, and how I was introduced to his work.

Burning In Water, Drowning in Flame and Last Night of the Earth Poems are my favorite poetry collections.

The guy was prolific as hell and not concerned with each individual thing he wrote being a world-ended in quality. The result is, yes, an often mixed report with a fair amount of mediocre material. But digging is half the fun, and I've never regretted moving through as much of his bibliography as I have.

That was pretty fucking well said.

Buk demonstrates what the quintessential underachiever can accomplish. As long as he is a genius.
