Dark_Knight Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 @metronomethats the last of his English translations that I haven’t read. How is it? I have to be in the mood for anything he writes but he’s one of my favorite Japanese authors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metronome Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 @Dark_Knight it's been a while but there was plenty of nihilism in the characters that it sounds like Showa Era might have. Hadn't thought of him in years but seeing your post jarred my memory. I'm gonna have to put some of his other stuff into my reading list.

LUGR Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 2 hours ago, CHANTICLEER said: seems like @mryuck is into woke and cancel culture stuff. And he was criticizing me for what he referred to as a "revelation" on the dumbass thread. I was just putting that up, as I wished I had success scholastically like Dr. Carson(neurosurgeon), but I can see why folks would think he's dumb. Carson didn't understand what Real Estate Owned meant. I think that involves foreclosures or short sales. HUD secretary unqualified. He thought it was OREO what the man said. I was watching that whole hearing on C-SPAN. I also watched the interview with Betsy DeVos the education secretary, where the students were heckling her. on C-SPAN2 some of you should turn off Newsmax and watch C-SPAN when they interview authors. detoxify dopamine from your thick skulls. You should read this one @CHANTICLEER. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
