-- Posted by Glacialis on 12:21 pm on Jan. 14, 2002 I finally read it and it was great as I have been told innumerable times over the years. It's scary how the world in the book is so much like ours, a bit exaggerated though. It's a world I really fear we're going to. Government-forced idiocy.

Speaking of absolutely wonderful books...Into the Forest was absolutely wonderful and questioned my point of views on a lot of things.

The Russians?
-- Posted by Glacialis on 1:30 pm on Jan. 20, 2002 Eh... I don't care where good stuff comes from. I just take it. I'm really not that much into nationality in any sense. It's something good to defining certain general qualities about a certain group of people, but nothing accurate.
-- Posted by Lacking in meaning on 1:54 pm on Jan. 20, 2002 Hey hey. I wasn't trying to argue that a particular country was the best producer of literature. My point was that it's silly to say that the Russians write best on the basis of maybe 4 or 5 great Russian works, when in fact compared to other countries of the same size/status/heritage its contribution has been small.

I beg to differ from a point of view. (And BTW, it's great to have a literature talk). Say there would be just 4 or 5 great Russian writers, but their work would be as consistant as the entire literature of a country.
