acer910 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 THIS IS NOT A HOMEWORK HELP THREAD!! okay, so heres the deal. i have to read 2 novels and one poetry collection, all written by american authors. then i have to do some bullshit road map thing where i do something about their hometowns? i dont know. but ive read all the classics and i fucking hate poetry. what i need YOU to do is choose 2 novels (american authors remember). they can be written at any point in time as long as it was in america. the more obscure the better, the teacher claims shes read enough books to compose 3 unique quizzes per person, theres 40 kids in the class, she teaches 3 classes. so thats a shitload of books shes "read". give me some crazy ass obscure basement variety novels to read. and also a poet whos american, make sure they have written atleast 20 somethin poems if they are short. i have to choose by september 17th. props for good advice and heres some boobies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: so heres the delio. Dreamland: Edgar Allan Poe Dreamland By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule- From a wild clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE- out of TIME. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the tears that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters- lone and dead,- Their still waters- still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead,- Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily,- By the mountains- near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,- By the grey woods,- by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp- By the dismal tarns and pools Where dwell the Ghouls,- By each spot the most unholy- In each nook most melancholy- There the traveller meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the Past- Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer by- White-robed forms of friends long given, In agony, to the Earth- and Heaven. For the heart whose woes are legion 'Tis a peaceful, soothing region- For the spirit that walks in shadow 'Tis- oh, 'tis an Eldorado! But the traveller, travelling through it, May not- dare not openly view it! Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed; So wills its King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringed lid; And thus the sad Soul that here passes Beholds it but through darkened glasses. By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have wandered home but newly From this ultimate dim Thule.

serial rapist Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: so heres the delio. Favorite book of Bukowski poems, especially the first one in the book. Lots about boozing and womanizing - should delight your teacher. Pretty fucking strange. Loads about prostitutes, drinking, being poor, bizarre friendships, being a scumbag. Great book.

morton Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: so heres the delio. I like the Raymond Chandler idea, although your teacher will have read him without a doubt LA around that time period is a interesting subject for the road map part of the assignment.

shai Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: so heres the delio. None of these books are that obscure, I've read about 85% of them. And I thought Hesse was German. "A Confederacy of Dunces" is great, I recommend it everyone but I'm willing to bet three other people in your class are going to pick that book too. "Sometimes a Great Notion" by Ken Kesey is a good story and an easy read. Walt Whitman or Lawrence Ferlinghetti are a couple of poets to start with. Let me wake up a bit more and I'll get back to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acer910 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 wow. never seen a edited title before... this is some seriously hilarious shit. like, i have never seen anything this funny. im literally dying. literally i mean, i have never experienced anything this funny. i have not lived a second before i read this title. it just amazes me. the maturity of this comedic diction just wows me. i mean, taking a completely not serious thread with a super goofey title and editing the title to say something more serious, how could anyone ever be so brilliant as to think of something like this? every comedian in the world can learn something from you Mr. Moderator. i mean, fuck a ticket price, id pay the entirety of my childrens college funds AND drive a hundred miles just to get a chance at a glimpse of something this funny. but, that will never happen in my lifetime. hilarity like this only happens once in a blue moon... theres even been mythological tales told in ancient china about a hilarious happening such as this one. every person who had a chance to view it instantly became invincible and omniscient. gods were made. all from one little joke. one tiny tiny tiny yet so huge huge huge joke. words cannot even explain this. its like an orgy for the brain and eyes. completely and utter, pure stimulation for all the senses to behold. take a picture guys, once in a blue moon. remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
