I wasn't expecting this book to be so fucking funny. The first half wasn't anything out of the ordinary for a realist novel, but the second half, once Emma starts her affairs, is non stop genius comedic situations after another.

The clubfoot guy. Rodolphe writing the letter. The theater. The punchline at the climax with Emma hearing the blind guy. Good lord. So good.

Probably the funniest book I've ever read.

Discuss.

>Well, in Germany the library books have RFID labels in them, so the detector will make a noise if you try to leave with it without officially checking it out. I guess theoretically you could remove it inside the library and then take the book with you.
in hardbacks, its in the spine. Difficult to get out without trashing the book. You need a friend that works there to run it over the de-scanner. which is the thing they run it over so you can check out without beeping. If you can get a window open or any other opening somewhere you can drop the books out and leave and get them. Another strategy is to take it off of someone else. They pay for your crime.

The prequels are memorable, definitely not amazing. Half of what made the first trilogy amazing was the novelty of the setting combined with the genre of gunfighter and samurai movie genre. The prequel trilogy has no gunfighters (the scene with Greedo is pure original trilogy) and no samurai. The scene where Obi Wan cuts off the guy’s arm is lifted from Yojimbo (also the basis for a Fistful of Dollar, so Lucas managed to take a unique character and use him as a basis for both Han Solo and Obi Wan—he does this also with Mifune’s character in the Hidden Fortress) where the ronin cuts the guy’s arm off right after the guy brags he has the death sentence and tells the ronin to watch himself. the Soviet spaghetti western comedy white sun of the desert was also a major influence

With the prequel trilogy, the influences that made a New Hope such a good film are totally gone. I don’t even know what his inspiration was for the light saber stuff in the new movies, but it isn’t samurai and western flicks. Maybe Chinese martial arts films idk but the cinema is not as good, the characters are not as fresh or interesting

The influence of these sorts of movies is simply absent from the prequels. Lucas is a creative genius but if he doesn’t start with material that’s already grade A, he won’t craft anything above B

I am going to help you real quick: it doesn't have to do with whether the word starts with a consonant or a vowel. What matters is the sound, whether it's a consonant- or vowel-sounding phoneme. A perfect example: y. Sometimes y is a vowel and sometimes it's a consonant. It's a consonant when it's a ya- sound, and it's a vowel when it sounds like a long E. Additionally, there are words in which either is fine, like a or an historic [occasion, etc.].

Mr Muhurta Dirgadingdongling, from Hawkshead, Cumbria, woke up one day with the desire to become a woman. A woman he already was, internally: he enlarged his breasts; depilated his body, except for the pubic patch that he shaped into the Dharma wheel in memory of home; bleached his skin; and when offering poojas to Krishna assumed the role of the female soul cavorting with the wonderful and zesty black god. His genitals, however, bothered him - they didn't give him peace: he felt his balls in his sari as he walked; he saw his dick and balls in the shower; and at night, every time he turned he woke up, angry and trembling, because his balls rolled touched his feminine legs. Now he sat on the seat of his toilet, strained rust brown, and held in his hand the last wonder of modernity: a plastic castration device.
He put the balls within the plastic tube that looked like a scabbard, except for two holes on the sides, and winced, already feeling the visceral tugging pain below his navel as the device stretched his sac and strangulate his gonads.
"Soon, Lord Krishna, I'll be your best and only wife," he prayed, silently, in the sanctum of his feminine soul.

>It can be the case that one is unconscious of his Universal Will. He may believe, indeed, that it is directly opposed to his Will, even though it is his [true] Will. The criminal who is punished may wish, of course, that the punishment be warded off but the Universal Will brings with it the decree that the criminal shall be punished. It must be assumed that the Absolute Will of the criminal demands that he shall be punished. In so far as he is punished the demand is made that he shall see that he is punished justly and, if he sees this, although he may wish to be freed from the punishment as an external suffering yet, in so far as he concedes that he is justly punished, his Universal Will approves of the punishment.
