"Hi!" |
| tfw Kawabata is a board game journalist |
Pullman said: Yeah, I can agree with this. A friend of mine who is also a huge Murakami fan (she reads a good amount of weeb lit) says things that are pretty similar about his writing/atmosphere/entrancing abilities.I think his writing style creates a very recognizable atmosphere that makes you immediately feel like you're in his world no matter which of his books you pick up. He's one of those authors whose books all feel kind of the same in both the good and the bad sense. If you like his 'entrancing' style you can count on pretty much every book delivering, paired with the stuff you mentioned like comedy, introspection, a mystery aspect to keep you hooked, a touch of the surreal (sometimes more, sometimes less), often multiple perspectives etc... But it also feels like in terms of substance he doesn't have much to offer beyond this one formula, at least in the books I read. Of course he approaches the formula from different angles, but at the core they tend to use very similar methods to keep the reader interested and even the introspections tend to center around the same topics with only some degree of variation.

| oh right @fst im at work im reading generation kill |
I got up to page 40 on my commute What do you think? Does it make you want to join the Marines yet? |
| There are Asians in the USMC? |
Ckan said: There are Asians in the USMC? In the book there's a Brazilian in the US Marines who speaks only Portuguese when they get in a firefight |
Ckan said: Yes, I've known some. I also have a friend who's in the Navy. I think he's supposed to be a medic on some aircraft carrier. I also have another friend who will also eventually be working on a nuclear submarine.There are Asians in the USMC? |

Zergneedsfood said: fst said: It's fine.I got up to page 40 on my commute What do you think? Does it make you want to join the Marines yet? Is it an American white power fantasy like okashi said it was? |

How do you find Wright's prose? |
|
| I asked okashi if he wanted to watch the miniseries and he said no and that was the reason he gave. |
| You know i was mostly joking. I dont like war stories in general. |
The best prose in the book virtually all comes from the Marines, though Weight also has his moments: A few hours before the invasion, Encino Man had covered over the side windows of his command vehicle with duct tape. He believed this would mask light seeping out from a computer screen in his vehicle, making it "extratactical"—harder to spot by enemy forces. Unfortunately, the covered windows seem to have diminished his already feeble navigation abilities. |

| wat is ur name Kevin or somethin'? |
"Hi!" |
| Oh since we were on the topic of prose last night, friends and I made a copypasta from a friend who was writing about his experiences at a concert. We thought it was pretty funny. Can probably do it with this topic: Evan Wright wrote Generation Kill and it was one of the most grandiose and fulfilling book I have read in my life. He felt like a master calligrapher, drawing the same character, with each stroke varying the speed and thickness, and highlighting the hidden strokes in the prose. A single stroke captured so much.... Simply amazing book, and I'm not going to talk about it anymore since my words cannot do it justice. |
this could be a meme |
 |
| No. It's Kev. |
| I noticed that after I posted what I said, but on phone so cbf to edit. |
"Hi!" |
| Lol Kev. And the struggle is real in HakoMari's second volume. The struggle to finish it. xD |
