I keep accidentally posting mini-essay Literary Opinions when commenting on other people's posts -- so far I have Why The Dark Is Rising Sucks and The Geological Epochs of Stephen King, and I sort of expect more will Happen.

Would people be interested in reading (read: discussing) my Pretentious Literary Notions as actual posts?  No point in throwing them up here if they're not the sort of thing y'all find engaging, but if they are, I might have Content again!

This lurky girl says YAY for Literary Opinions.

(I actually went back to see if it was sunnyskywalker's post that you commented on. Oh, Internet, you are a small world indeed...)

[matt_doyle]

Haha, yes it was. Well, now you know what THAT post would say word for word, :-P.

I would like to hear the DiR one because I have NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO IT, and uh, I like to feel validated ;)

I would like to hear this one, too, because I actually like most of the books in the series (can't stand Green Witch).

[matt_doyle]

The thing is, I simulaneously like and cannot stand them...


definitely making the post.

Don't get me wrong, I think they're well-written and I would have loved to feel the nostalgic love a bunch of my fellow flisters seem to have for them, but every time I've tried slogging through any of the books...... Although I have, strangely enough, read a lot of great fanfic for the series. Um. Somehow it doesn't click. Which makes me sad!

I always like hearing other people's opinions on books! Besides, I don't want to be the only one nattering away in my journal to avoid leaving too many essays in comments XD

[matt_doyle]

Haha, I'll be turning my comment into an even longer and ramblier post, then.

do eeeeeeeet.

Ooooh, yes - bring it on!

I personally love several of the books in tDiR (though the series does have issues) - I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Yes please!

[wtfbrain.livejournal.com]

Yes, please!
