Double N!!! Sup my brother? I know white folks have a desperate need to defend each other but that guys constant virtue signalling doesn't annoy you? Even a little? Also NxNW is calling out some guy for allegedly doing the same thing Nx does all the freaking time. That would be like you calling someone out for following me around and giving me hell all the time. Granted I may deserve you calling me out occasionally but you still wouldn't whine if someone else did it would you? I don’t give a fuck about his race, you keep calling him a racist when he has never made a single comment that could be interpreted as racism, that’s why I’m defending him. You see racism everywhere. And you act like the people you imagine are racists are so terrible, but you keep generalizing white people negatively which is racism. Why is it ok for you to be a racist but it’s not for other people to be? Damn son you obsessed with me, huh? Hop off my tip for a second bro. I ain't the one to satisfy that homoerotic Mandingo fantasy you obviously have. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Well slavery is wrong of course although you would probably disagree, right?  |

I literally (get it?) just said I wasn't a fan of espionage fiction but that went right over your head huh sweetie? What makes you a snob was the petty childish way you insulted numerous writers and their fans. Grisham by the way is an actual lawyer in addition to being an award winning best selling novelist and former member of the House of Representatives. Makes your failed attempt to get your GED look silly, huh? Your transparently pretentious mention of John la Carre is more proof of your sad delusions of having superior taste. Considering he's kind of a poor man's Ian Fleming your silly little diatribe is kind of hypocritical innit? Also still waiting for what authors you like other than la Carre. Oh wait Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is the only book you managed to finish isn't it? You might consider le Carre 'a poor man's Ian Fleming', but I doubt most critics would agree with you on that. And there's nothing petty in noting that popularity and high sales don't make for intrinsic literary merit, or the three ladies I named in my previous post would be having college syllabuses taught on their respective oeuvres, as would Stephanie Meyer, and the Fifty Shades of Whatever author (maybe I should think twice--given the fluff that is taught in many a university these days, some of the above named just might be having their Great Works dissected and explicated to the young'uns even as I speak). I'm not sure what the fact of Grisham's being an 'actual lawyer' (as opposed to playing one on tv, I assume) has to do with his worth as a novelist, any more so than his having served in the House. Gee, if that's a qualification for being a great writer, then I suppose Bill Clinton, who just wrote a book with James Patterson (and god knows what place he holds in your pantheon), must be Nobel material, what with his having been President and all that. And if 'prizes' are the ne plus ultra of literary merit, I suggest you take a gander at a list of Pulitzer Prize winning authors of the last seventy years or so and ponder over many of the names and works contained therein. I dunno about that GED. I guess my Masters in English Lit. just makes me a sucker for the old-timers you probably can't manage to plow your way through. You know--Henry James, Tolstoi, James Joyce, and other lightweights like that. As to what I'm reading right now?--well, I'm finding The Autumn of the Middle Ages to be a pretty fascinating book, for my non-fiction fix, and am re-reading, with great enjoyment (again) Kazuo Ishiguro's Remains of the Day. I have the whole of the delightful Barbara Pym's works lined up for some light wintertime reading pleasure, and hope to test out Ivy Compton-Burnett, a writer I've long read about, but never attempted up until now. Sorry if the mention of these titles and authors is too 'transparently pretentious' for you, as Pym, Ishiguro and to a lesser extent Compton-Burnett have all been great popular as well as critical favorites. Guess there must be a lot of us transparently pretentious folks out there; you, on the other hand, come off as being pretty transparently silly and vituperative over the fact that not everyone who picks up a book necessarily jonses over your taste in reading matter. Pity, that. Though if that makes me a 'snob' I'll happily take that over being a humorless brat who can't cope with the fact that there are readers extant whose choices in literature are a shade more advanced than your own. Though, since you haven't actually named anything you've 'literally' (get it?) read, maybe it's making too much of a leap to presume you read anything at all. Certainly if you have, it hasn't noticeably rubbed off on your communication skills. Tell ya what, though--whyn't you go ahead and call me a racist. Get it off your chest. It'll make you feel loads better  . Wow! You are determined to prove what a pompous windbag you are, huh? You are doing a fine job of it and we are all suitably impressed. You might want to remember this dialogue between us started because YOU attacked the op and others for the horrid crime of (GASP) enjoying Tom Clancy. No one had addressed you or asked for input from a bitter old lady but nonetheless you grabbed your walker and opened that gaping maw anyway. Obviously all that time spent reading those classics don't allow much time for you to interact with people hence your obliviousness to even the most basic social graces. Being a pompous bitch is not a good look tho sweetie. Especially when there is no reason at all in any way for the bitch to be pompous. You know like with you. I mean you were unable to even decipher an "actual" lawyer meant as opposed to just writing about lawyers. I didn't mean to confuse you and will try to be more clear but please ask for help when you fall behind ok? Now have yourself a nice 3 day weekend sweetie. I'm presuming that Masters in English lit prepared you to teach High School kids. Although you're a bit high strung and socially awkward for that. Cat groomer? Cat supply cashier? Some job involving cats, right? Why do you want me to call you a racist? White guilt or the fact you want to call me the N word? Go ahead. I usually give old ass white folks a free pass. Y'all grew up in a time when us darker folks knew our place, right? Besides I think anyone unlucky enough to interact with you knows the word that describes you best. |

I just said you wanting a black guy to bang you was okay. I mean it's right there in the post above yours. Are you unable to understand what I posted? I'm just not into men. I've made that clear several times and you always call me a homophobe. Unwanted sexual advances are not acceptable anymore NN and I would like you to stop stalking me. It's unseemly and frankly you're embarrassing yourself. Have a little dignity for yourself my fellow horror movie fan. I bet you liked Get Out up until the brother escaped didn't you? White folks turning black folks into sex slaves. That's a wet dream for guys like you. Does it go something like this?   -Bend me over now Poelzig. Missa Nick demands it. |

I’m sorry bro your attempts at insulting me/pissing me off by implying I’m gay don’t work because I’m not a homophobe who thinks homosexuality is disgusting like you. Feel free to call me gay, I don’t mind. |

For ten years I had a night shift job where I didn't have to do much of anything - so I read books.
Pulp fiction novels, Stephen King, John Grisham, all the popular writers. When those ran out I read the classics - most of the canon of Western Literature. Then I read philosophy - all the old classics from Plato to Nietzsche.
Guarantee I've read more "classic literature" than this posturing gasbag with the fake "degree" in feminist poetry.
And I liked Tom Clancy's couple of books, nice breezy easy read.

You'd probably lose your bet on that one, but if you enjoy your self-image as being the leading intellectual light of the blue-collar set, I won't be so mean-spirited as to bust up your picture of yourself  . One thing I'm definitely seeing--Clancy fans don't seem to have much of a sense of humor. A lot of you sound like five year olds whose mommy brought home Hydroxes instead of Oreos from the grocery store. I read my fair share of junk as well as better stuff and don't mind being twitted on it. You guys sound as if you're about to burst a vein over the fact that not everyone who reads worships at the feet of St. Tom. A little embarrassed at your choice of reading matter maybe? Could be why you feel it necessary to talk him up as being a more worthwhile author than his works suggest. |

I was gonna start it, but 24 with Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer really set the standard for me in terms of counterterrorism shows. It'll be tough it beat.

I just watched the pilot. He's not a bad fit. Kind of disappointed that the main plot isn't based off one of the books though.

This thread took a turn. Back to the actual topic. The show was absolutely excellent. I guess it was a little liberal, but I am as Republican as they come and I loved the show. Someone else mentioned 24 and I would definitely say that this is better than seasons 6 and on. It actually reminded me a lot of Homeland, which is not a bad thing. I do not just mean that they are both about terrorists and the CIA either. They both have excellent casts and great writing. I see some people criticizing it on here. Why? Bunk and Jim are fantastic in it and they even make the terrorists relatable and dynamic, unlike most shows. Season two has already been green lit and I will be checking it out.
