The worst is when there’s a movie or tv tie-in cover for a book

Maybe you need a better translation?

Lol of course we remember these movies

Wait a second… are you saying that because I don’t think The Bible is a good book, that means that I don’t like “the arts” and I’m therefore not a real adult?

You are all confusing “influential” with “good” or “great.” Yes, it was the ONLY book available to read for many people for a long, long time. Yes, millions of people have been brainwashed into believing it’s real. Is it actually a good book? Nope.

I’m not denying that it’s influential. Of course it is. I’m saying it’s not great. It’s full of bullshit.

I’m not deny the impact. I’m saying it’s not a good book.

I enjoy those themes and I still disagree that it’s “great.” Like it’s literally not enjoyable to read for long stretches.

You know, I used to be one of those people who constantly read and discussed the Bible. I never said it wasn’t influential. Obviously millions of people have been brainwashed into believing God Himself inspired it. Doesn’t make it a good read.

I already told you I’ve read a lot of it. There’s a lot of useless garbage in there that isn’t even interesting from a mythology or philosophy standpoint. Hardly THE greatest book of all time.

I can’t say I’ve read it cover to cover, but I’ve read enough of it to know that I don’t think it’s incredible. Like long lists of lineage? No thanks.

I’m rolling my eyes so hard at The Bible at number one

I would say a lot of Wes Anderson movies have a memorable score but also use licensed music very well

Literally no one cares if you write in your own book. You do not need “the reading community’s” approval.

People read for different reasons. I found the extreme detail on the magic took me right out of the immersion and immediacy of the action. Character and plot are always going to be the reasons for reading for me. I don’t really care about the technical intricacies of the metal magic stuff unless it’s creating obvious logical contradictions. Like Sanderson should know how his magic works, but it’s not more important than the plot or characters.

Lol he’s not for me, either. I tried to read Stormborn and hated it. I found the explanations of the magic system to be super tedious.

Edit: Mistborn?

If someone is trying to kill you, even if they’re 10, you are justified in defending yourself

Ouija board. Pazuzu is more focused on Merrin than Karras.
