I tried reading A Picture of Dorian Gray recently. It was a bit gay...

I quite enjoyed Dorian Gray, whilst the story was a bit thin, the imagery was excellent.

he really was. although
some sadist bought me "the happy prince" and other stories when i was a kid. the one where the nightingale kills herself to produce a red rose made me cry for hours. it was right up there with the "watership down" photo book as a SHIT BOOK FOR A CHILD.

There is one whole chapter that is purely imagery
where he bangs on and on about some silk or shit which added absolutely nothing to the story and irritated me slightly. Apart from that I enjoyed it.

the best for that kind of shite is thomas hardy
see "far from the madding crowd", where he rhapsodises for a whole 3 pages about his hero gabriel oak (the name is v subtle). then summarises: "in short, he was 28 and a bachelor." WHY NOT JUST SAY THAT, YOU TURGID CUNT?

I DETEST Thomas Hardy.
The Mayor of fucking Casterbridge is one of the most deary, depressing reads ever.

I loved the Python sketch about Hardy writing 'A Stranger Returns'
A Saturday afternoon in November was approaching...

Stupid fucking authors, wasting our precious time.

That's a fucking good book.
If a bit bent.

It's great actually.
Here's a tip- drop the Pratchett and try some books for grown ups.

Then lose your virginity.
