Their original plan was >we sell it as a lynching >RCM is too cucked to arrest us we literally kill them if they try >pigs come out, book the body, shrug and piss off, muh Oranje Kween is safe and everyone's afraid of us, win-winThey never planned beyond that, and it all gets fucked up originally by Harry's week-long bender in Whirling-in-Rags, which confused the shit out of everyone involved, and then doubly fucked when the alcoholic brainfried retard cop turned out to be Detective Raphaël Ambrosius fucking Costeau. > and why the fuck did they not get their story straight with klasjeBecause she was not cooperative. Partly due to her being quite fucked up from the experience, partly due to her self-destructive tendencies as she somewhat wants to be caught and accused of Lely's death, as she blames herself for it and sees herself as deserving a punishment for every fucking thing that happened in her life. And also partly because she liked Lely and doesn't want to talk shit about him, even after he's dead. Her entire character is a perpetual interplay between her quite human desire for life and survival on one side (running to Hardies for protection, escapes, lies, manipulations), and her equally human conscience and empathy (sudden confessions like Lely not raping her, the shot clue, the "I'm sorry I fucked over everyone", her just giving up if you do issue an arrest).

Do you guys think it's possible to resuscitate the humanities before human civilisation ends? Or do we just have to accept that middle-class women have destroyed it ultimately.

I was at a literary event in my city and I was talking to one of my friends about her novel and she was saying it was "genre" ficion-y. Upon asking what about it she said was genre-y, she said the dialogue and the fact that she was building scenes at all was considered a genre fiction thing, as opposed to a prose/literary one. What the fuck lmao. Why do these people think prose poetry is the only legit form of literature and having basic narrative is something "lesser" that is only found in genre fiction?

I think an animated reboot that follows the books or at the very least doesn't factor in the show with how things look would be very cool. After it runs out of material they can just make their own ending and then this IP can just keep getting shows pumped out until eventually we land an ending that enough people like that its considered canon. bro what the fuck is this new captcha
>>24965891He has no children and his wife will eventually pass as well. Who would be his estate? Death of the Author is too strong in GRRM's specific case. When he is dead we will know what his notes and drafts intended for the ending. To avoid that, he would have to avoid writing anything for ASOIAF since 2011, just to keep any resolution locked up in his head. D&D, who loved to take credit for so many things, claimed King Bran was 100% GRRM's idea.GRRM's other works offer insight to how he thinks, so the truly analytical fans eventually will comb all his other works to key his idiosyncrasies to the ending of ASOIAF.GRRM is a boomer so would never consider the Aegon IV option of waiting until his deathbed to announce the ASOIAF setting as open-source. If by some miracle he did, his legacy would be off the charts. Alas, he's a fat boomer with money so he has no drive. It's amazing he even put together books at all instead of eating his own writing implements.The real aggravating thing about his unpublished books is he has an obvious allergy to magic so wrote all these plot threads of magic without any intention to resolve them. The biggest fan theories revolve around magic because GRRM left off at DotD that human diplomacy and martial prowess cannot save Westeros. He stopped publishing books exactly at the cliffhanger which is the bleakest. Every POV is set up for failure, except Bran. For what Bran is about to undergo, and what we've seen happen to Bloodraven, Bran as the ending is about as endearing to the audience as the WEF telling us "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy." GRRM gave into his base desires and cannot allow ASOIAF to have an ending where humans overcome superhuman evil.

>>24965891>>24966600You know what fucks with me, for some reason I assumed Gaben is older than GRRM (maybe because I got into gaming in middle school but only really started enjoying reading in college once I wasn't being forced to read Tom Sawyer or some shit for high school literature class)Now when I see pics of Gaben slimming down but GRRM looking still fat but more wrinkled it feels wrong
What's the best way to expand my vocabulary?
Read classics written by neurotic women for purple prose
Read the dictionary. The A section is quite boring though, I recommend starting with C, it makes me feel quite coxcombical
prompt too vague, depends on intended purposeslearning to simply recognize words as valid according to a dictionary (that is, Scrabble usage) admits of training methods not suitable for other useslearning to apply technical terms / domain-specific language also requires a different sort of approach, since that involves detailed functions of interrelated components: being able to define each of the words of a discipline in isolation doesn't by itself indicate or confer conceptual or operational knowledgeyou also haven't described any starting conditions/assumptions: age, level of ability, first language or foreign language, etc.you should start by learning to ask better questions
>>24966666Kek agrees, crack an austen
>>24966559vocabulary is secondary to good prose and rhetorical technique. a grandiloquent effivacity of loquacious perspicacity will win you few friends.
You're not a real reader unless you've read a dictionary cover to cover. How can you read if you don't know words?
But every word's definition uses words to define that word, so then I have to look up those words and so on ad infinitum.

You feel it when in love or in a forest old. In Ypres they saw it. The great bard's metre or an old master's stroke. When your child coddled in your arms or you bathed in the Sistine.

Thought on Kurt Vonnegut?He's a beloved author and from what I gather he seems like a solid approachable modern novelistWhat are his best works?
>>24964743I've only read Slaughterhouse V by him, and I really disliked it.>experience dresden>feel the need to write a book about dresden>dresden was traumatic>you'd rather avoid confronting the trauma>write a book about experiencing trauma without directly confronting the trauma>this is my book about dresdenSo it goes.
>>24964743Slaughterhouse five was meh, I remember liking slapstick though
>>24964743He's the perhaps the most shameless plagiarist of the 20th century. His writing style, his humor, even his drip, all stolen from picrels nonfic.
>>24964743Breakfast of Champions and Mother Night are his best. Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle are his most accessible.
Is Vonnegut required reading in the USA? If not I don't get why people hate him so muchI thought Slaughterhouse V was great
As a film fan, I've always loved Gandalf as a character, but ever since I began reading the LOTR a little over a month ago, my admiration for him increased substantially. Ian McKellen's performance was very faithful to the source material, and I feel like it's emblematic of PJ's stance towards it (excluding Tom Bombadil's or Glorfindel's absence).Which begs the question, what do the diehard book fans take issue with in the film adaptations? Christopher Tolkien's words about Peter Jackson's work are very jarring to hear, considering the films' colossal success.
>>24965581But it IS for children, Anon. Unless you are retarded, I guess.The problem is the movie also appeals to manchildren that want fake depth while enjoying le movie magic like CGI shit and props and pathos on overdrive.The movie is actually quite enjoyable if you treat it as opera and focus 80% on the music and for the rest just enjoy the colors and movement and acting from great actors. And embrace the funny and goofy or else go watch Game of Thrones if you want to pretend this shit should be realistic.

You need more?
>>24965866>Does the sentence structure and grammar also make it difficult?yes, certainly. i think maybe i emphasized the difficulty of the vocabulary too much. the way he constructs sentences is another factor. the way he'll shift the subject of the sentence somewhere else in the sentence, etc. the last thing i'll remark on is the dream / fantasy sequences. for me, when he launches into these even if i understand what he is saying i'll start questioning, "am i understanding him right?"

English is such a shit language. For me the nail in the coffin for English was when I learned that the problem of ambiguity between argument and explanation, where all you have to disambiguate is context, which they talk about in logic books, is not something which is universal in logic, but rather is a problem of English. Other languages don't have this problem. English is a low IQ language. All it's good for is dumbing down the masses.
>>24966536No, it's a retarded book. English just sucks. Other languages are more logical but they don't limit thought.
>>24966536What consoles me is even if this is true, OP is still BTFO
