Man, dragonlance is just as terrible, just in plain english.

Pip, you've only demonstrated that you hate one of the greatest living authors on Earth and that you hate Faulkner. Your poor taste is only amplified by the fact that you think bad-mouthing a man that wrote a twelve-hundred page book on walking and bad poetry is unacceptable.
You are terrible at books. There are lead-paint ridden blind children with a better grasp on literature than you do.
so I need to pick up this third book in a series by this guy called John C. Wright. It's about these five British kids that are raised in an orphanage, but are apparently the children of some greek gods being kept under a sort of house arrest by other gods, and their powers are all different and discussions of them often go into weird physics involving the 4th and 5th dimensions and I don't even know what. It's pretty decent, and has some erotic spanking in it.
Going straight from Cormack McCarthy to Nabokov is weird. They're both fucking fantastic, though, so I'm not complaining.
The class that's having me read or reread these authors is the first really good English class I've ever taken, too. And next we're doing some Faulkner, which should be great. I've actually never read anything of his other than The Sound and the Fury, but I read that twice back to back and loved it. I sort of had to read it twice to "get" it, but I'm glad I did anyway.

LotR is poorly written, but the whole mythology behind it is fairly fantastically elaborate and that's why I like it.
Nearly every Goosebumps book had a twist ending, three or four pages before the end of the book.
It got to a point where I would read the end of the book first to find out the terrible twist so I wouldn't get that involved with the plot.

wait is grendel in the book with the british kids?
The Sound and the Fury seems like the kind of book I need my hand held through, like all of Shakespeares' work. They're both great writers and all, but if I'm left to my own devices, I'm going to say "Fuck it" and read a Louis L'Amore novel.

Daniel Pinkwater was awesome when I was in middle school.
Daniel Pinkwater is always awesome and you will show respect
I still laugh at Borgel and Alan Mendelson and a couple others
Not the Snarkout Boys books
Those were just fucking weird

That reminds me of all of those Aliens novels I read when I was ten or eleven. They said the f-word and killed a lot of things and sometimes there was even sex. It was like a discovered a whole secret world that made me smarter than my parents, since they didn't know about it.

I wanted to punch you in the kidneys for making this thread, as several of the books on that list have no business there.
But then I read this exchange, and now I have a confusing stirring in my pants.

I remember Aliens: Labyrinth where they were cross-breeding Aliens and humans. This was before the fourth movie, and I'd never read the comics so I thought the idea was fresh and exciting.

Sometimes love means having to sock someone in the kidneys.
I also read the Doom books, so my literary tastes as a child are quite suspect.
Though I do remember being horribly disturbed by a guy going through a teleporter in one of the Doom books and transforming into a massive quivering blob of protoplasm. That was quite disturbing.

Hey where's that kid flipped his shit when you called Tolkien a bad writer in his thread? The one that accused Silmaril of never reading LotR?

hohoho
why would i want to do that?
I still have the one about the vampire sponge thing and a couple others stashed away in the closet
Good times

that'd be great
There were a couple about skateboarding that were rad as hell
The writing wasn't THAT bad, but the guy was a scholar who wrote analytical papers on a long dead language for a living
hardly surprising that his prose was.... clunky.

Those were just fucking weird
I read Monster in like the 4th or 5th grade and in between killings there was a whole lotta teenage sex going on in that story.
My older sister saw the book in my bag and was all "Wait! Are you reading that? You can't it's got...stuff in it."
Beowulf: "That's our grendel!"

I smell a sitcom!
I'm not sure that kid was even posting in English, though. It was like someone was transcribing cave paintings into forum posts.
