Just because it's called a classic doesn't mean it's any good. I prefer Jane Austen's books to any of the Bronte sisters' books.

SA. Damn it - wrong thread!

dw i went to read this thread because i only read the threads of specific secrets, and i read the thread this was intended for instead of this one and was very confused. good to see someone else made the exact opposite mistake!

I love Jane Austen. :)

Literature is a matter of taste always, and not everyone will find a "classic" book enjoyable to read.

For example, On the Road (Jack Keroauc) gets so much exclamation over it to this day, but I thought it was a shitty book cover to cover. I could appreciate some of the morals that CAN be drawn from the book, but I honestly don't feel like the author put them in there on purpose, or was trying to teach anything to anyone by writing the book. Mostly it just seemed like a story about a doormat following his shitty womanizing asshole friend around taking notes. If it had been written like a nature documentary I might have liked it better.

Sherlock Holmes ahoy!

I love your description of Kerouac. :) Made me giggle.

I feel pretty much the same way about most of the Beats; it's only when you widen out the circle to, say, Denise Levertov or Gregory Corso (who is fantastic), that I get interested in their writing. Mostly, they just seem super douchey to me (especially Kerouac and Burroughs ugh) which usually isn't a problem for me. I can usually separate my reaction to a work of fiction or art or whatever from my reaction to its creator but not so for the Beats for some reason.

Oh, thank heavens, someone who hates On the Road as much as I do. I even have "hating Jack Kerouac" as an lj/dw interest (along with a few others) because that book pissed me off so much.

[(Anonymous)]

I couldn't even finish On The Road because it was just so incredibly bad. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Love me some Austen <3 Went to the Jane Austen Center in Bath last year and I freaked out.

Though I'm boring and like Pride and Prejudice the best (though Northanger Abbey is my love).

[(Anonymous)]

Same here.

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly all I can think of are the ways it could go horribly, horribly wrong, but I see your point, OP.

[insanenoodlyguy]

The problem with virtual worlds is they will still be filled with real people.

[(Anonymous)]

That you could potentially kill if it was allowed in that area.

Spoilers for the Pendragon book series

[elaminator]

This secret is bringing me back to Pendragon where a world called Veelox basically crumbled because an overwhelming majority of the population stayed in their virtual reality simulators instead of the real world.

...I still want VR, though.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I had a LJ friend for a while who got involved in Second Life - a huge freestyle virtual world that is not dependant on going on quests and shit like WoW. Most of it was crappy custom content avatars and virtual sex (at least going on what she conveyed).

A virtual world could be fun, but I honestly expect it'd get taken over by people looking for porn/sex. Especially the furries.

[quietdragon]

True, but Second Life looks like it can be very, very pretty too~ definitely looks like it'd inspire the imagination!

I've never played it personally, though. ^^;
