Harry Potter Modern Day Classic

Candys — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 06:33:21 +0000

No. Rowling’s books are poorly written. Her grammar is painfully simple, on a par with “See Spot. See Spot run.” Her plots are convoluted and inconsistent. Toward the end of each book an entire chapter of exposition is necessary to explain the how & why events played out the way they did. She repeatedly writes her characters into problems that CANNOT be solved by means made known to the audience up to that point. She has to wave her CREATOR wand to make some NEW thing or principle of magic appear to save the day.

What Classic Are You Reading Now

I haven’t read a classic in quite awhile, but I am looking to here in the distant future. I have a lot of books that aren’t classic yet but I want to read that are ahead of my next classic. Namely I have the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series by George R. R. Martin (that was recently made into an HBO show) that I recently purchased. I also have “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson that my new friend Steve lent me. If you have read any of those books I would appreciate a comment here as well!

I do not consider this to be a classic. It is entertaining though!

So let’s hear it… what do you consider to be classic AND have you read it this year? Are you reading it right now? How many times have you read it?”
