Fine . Thats all I wanted.

An explanation.

Great book 'Catcher in the Rye'

You can't be serious about the Hobbit being a choice surely(even being the precursor to Lord of the Rings)
While it has great sybolism its far to simple to be compared to the above IMO

Now novels like 'Of Mice & Men' or 'The Grapes Of Wrath' have great substance that are easily seen in everyday life thankfully not today

cheers

the hobbit and lord of the rings too complex

[buttsie]

The lesson to learned from boxer is that it alone we fall...united wel conquer IMO

That was a book from my schooldays that holds such powerful symbolism
i doubt if in a thousand years it will be irrelevant

To balance such disturbing tales I indulge in fantasy & science fiction

Ever read Magician by Raymond Feist(bordering on a scope as large as Lord Of The Rings)

Then theres Arthur C Clarke...from 2001 upto RAMA and counting
Extrordinary that many of the things that he has written about have happenend after his writing

The old Magoo 1,2

Insult followed by apology

Call me what you will all I am simply saying is

Chill Out...we all come here for a good time not a tirade of verbal insults
directed at whoever

We all over react at times but when our senses are free from all drugs things become crystal clear usually

I've put 2 & 2 together to work out why your innoculous post got deleted
I might be wrong but I don't think I am

PS See ya in 2 days time
Mothers day is a perilous experience downunder especially when father is in hospital...OH Nurse!!!!!!

Magician was good, though Feist's more recent stuff has been rather poor.

A lot of superb examples cited. Animal Farm (like 1984) was just too depressing; The Grapes Of Wrath would drive you to suicide; but Catcher In The Rye is a genuine classic, retaining its power and importance even 50 years on.

i removed your book post. mark it down as the cumulative result of having to dredge through the tawdry, witless, self-aggrandising, day-in-day-out, slagfest that comprises 99% of your current output.

[magoo]

Oooh! Get You ducky.

Perhaps my current output doesnt live up to your high standards? Sorry mate. Do you really think I care? Lighten up Woody its all just a bit of fun.

[magoo]

I am sorry if my self indulgent celeb slagging humour upsets you (and Mart and Buttsie). I just joined in with Holdens amusing language which seemed a humourous distraction from the usual crap that gets posted here.

I think you calling me "witless" is a tad harsh. If you want to insult me then at least make it funny.
