Yeah, I can't remeber exactly how many pages but it's a fantastic piece of vividry, he really captures the "ins" and "outs" of conciousness. Are ther any other Joyce books you could reccomend me? I'd reccomend reading "The Wasp Factory". |

Well stop correcting peoples posts, then. It is really fucking annoying. Get over yourself. Who gives a fuck if readability is compromised? It's a messageboard, not a reading class. |

"Dubliners" is a nice easy read, very enjoyable. "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young man" is incredible, charts the development of the artist (stephen dedalus, who's modelled on Joyce) through childhood. Semi-autobiographical. Ulysses, as my dad always said, will change your life. Finnegans wake, err. i'd stay away from that. :o it's like the gantz graf of literature. |

It's difficult when you're discussing something and you can't understand which, out of all the possible meanings, the person you're talking to wants his words to mean. |

Why are you talking about James Joyce now ? |
||||||||
|

*which meaning, out of all the possibilities, did it there myself. |
||||||||

because, as you'd know were you party to some, conversations evolve and develop. |

But not in MY thread, please stick to the topic |

Ulysses changed my life for sure. It`s the only novel about EVERYTHING. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yes!! |

I agree, but instead of criticising people the way you do, perhaps ask them to rephrase? Your linguistics are good, I admit that. Mine are pretty good too. But do I pull other peoples posts to pieces because their English isn't up the the same speed as mine? Especially if their first language isn't English? But at the same time, it's your choice. Do you do it in public, to people at the checkout at Tesco's also? I don't think so. |

I DO IT IN TESCOS! |

|

i fucking tear those illegal immigrant tesco workers apart. i call em "teskies". nah but seriously, i'll keep it to a minimum. i flew off the handle there because I genuinely wasn't being pedantic with Xeron, i just couldn't understand what the eff he'd written. |

Would i care if someone here died? i would care if i knew they were dead, but i wont beleive they were dead unless i had proof. and 'i know him in real life and can confirm yes he did get hit by a bus' is not proof enough for me. the internet is full of lies. |

Fin. |

so you'd be the guy shouting "PICZ PLZ!" ? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His name was Killswitch or something like that, I remembered that it hit me in a certain way. If someone of this community die I'd care. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
killed himself? how do you know this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

click the link to his website, the the link at the bottom for the kill switch thread on xlt. |

christ :/ how sad... |

Someone here killed himself? Oh I didnt notice that... |

Bob Mcbob: Because a friend of him made a post about it, there was a lot of disbelief from a lot of the members at the time and I guess still is. |

I wouldnt cry for many, but it would impress me a lot in most of the cases |

Depends on the person. There's no one here I'd wish death on, but there are some I'd be indifferent to (that's not a flame, merely honesty). There are some people I'd be absolutely gutted if they died and would do my damndest to get to their funeral, but those are largely people I know in real life. |

i wasn't sure how i'd feel until i read all that about kill switch. |
||||||||
|
|

|

the kill switch thread |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
thanks. i already found it following bobs instructions though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course I'd care, I might even change my avatar permanently as a tribute if they were cool enough *hackcough* |
||||||||

The grief I experience for someone's death is directly proportional to their degree of involvement in my life. As for people on this board, their deaths would not put a smile on my face. It wouldn't put a frown on it either. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
you've just made me decide what i'm going to have for tea. thanks! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yes i would feel sad |

People have died on this message board before ... remember the guy that saved the kid who fell off the waterfall? I didn't talk to him on the board, but there was a huge thread about it and everyone was pretty gloomy about it. The guy was a good drawer too! I think when anyone dies it sucks because it just makes glum I find. It sucks being sad and knowing that someone is sad over a death is the sucks meng. |
