He can't think, he can't write. Genre fiction tier trash. No discernible talent.
>>
>>7726338
yes i agree, great description of dfw. i guarantee you haven't read anything by simmons, besides maybe hyperion
>>
>>7726333
hahaha mccarthyfags always get so triggered when their pseudointellectual hack author gets called out

try reading some real literature, maybe you'll become a bit smarter.
>>
Blood Meridian is Cormac at his most cheap and sensational

skip BM
>>
>>7726349
that's the road actually, but BM is a close second.
>>
>>7726320
These all are terrible except maybe iliad
>>
>>7726353
You're right. The Road was so bad I forgot it was composed by the same hand as masterpieces like Suttree

>>7726371
Suttree was so bad I forgot it was composed by the same hand as masterpieces like Blood Meridian

embarrassing
>>
>>7726379

>>7726320
Which translation of Iliad?

>>7726585
Samuel Butler is the translator
>>
>>7726386
You did the same thing as him though

>>7726320
Your dad had a collection of meme books before they were memes. Truly a scholar
>>
>>7726956
Yeah well I was born to a virgin mother

>>7726320
Dan Simmons is the only one on there who's definitely not worth it.
>>
>>7726320
Can I have that T.E. Lawrence book

>>7728269
Well, I was born to a virgin father.
