GUYS GUYS GUYS

no competition

i hope they serves beer in hell - tucker max

eventually to be followed by

assholes finish first - tucker max

and

DATE FUCK WIN - Jlaix

Excerpts (may change - DFW) :

"Irrevelant, its time to fuck"

At this point, however, all subtley is gone, i just charge up, start slapping their ass and yell: "Yous a bad bitch!!"

"Your teeth are perfect. Small, straight and white. Just like my cock"

"I notice there is a warpig in my bed with me!!! Oh no, i quickly check my cock and fortunately I am clothed; I did not fuck it"

"I wanna lick it"

Butterface can only be a 7 tops.

I hear some dumb chick yell: "Its mah birfday! Its mah birfday!!"

I wore a fucking raggedy ass tuxedo, open at the shirt with bowtie hanging loose, covered in blood and wine stains.

What does these HS girls what? A fuckin dick in the ass. Be a philanthropist and give it to them. I'm not being flippant.

I have to confess something, I slept with another guy when we were apart" jlaix slams down a scotch and calmly says "well, I guess I have to confess something too...I slept with forty-two girls since then"

"I'll fuck you til you cry..."

........cant wait

I'll admit I don't read much anymore so I probably sound really dumb, but for me the Harry Potter series is great. I don't mind if you all think I must be illiterate because I love harry potter but I think if it wasn't for those books I could have stopped reading all together.

Now that I think about it, I also really liked Animal Farm by George Orwell when I read that back in year 9. Should read it again someday.

Herodotos, The Histories: I just keep reading it, it's brilliant! How do you come from epic poetry and myth to form history, an essential form of study? I think Herodotos is the greatest writer of all time!
lol "Herodotus" and "History" shouldn't really be mentioned in the same sentence :p
Yeah Herodotus has a fair portion of factual essence in "The Histories" of which is helpful to historians, but he wasn't really an historian in the true essence of the word. Herodotus set out to record enjoyable tales as fact a lot of the time; his books are for entertainment, not history.
But mini rant aside, The Histories is a fascinating book :)

And in the poll I put down Meaty Fiction, Non-Fiction (History) and Other. The "other" being philosophical texts :)

As for The Greatest Book Ever Written.... difficult contest.... Lord Of The Rings is the greatest epic I would say. Brave New World could be the greatest futuristic projection... His Dark Materials could be the greatest young readers fantasy...

I can't come up with just one :(

A tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens was a masterpiece imo

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. 'nuff said.
I agree.


And-
+Any of the philosophy books (mainly his meditations) of Rene Descartes (aka The 'I think therefore I am' guy)
+Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad
+Noughts and Crosses Malorie Blackman (Teen stupid love story, but touched me)
+The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall- Anne Bronte
+Encyclopaedia of Snow- Sarah Emily Miano (Has its faults, but an interesting concept and a format I've never seen before)
+Paradise Lost- John Milton
=)

EDIT: Of Mice and Men was also brilliant :)
