It's very anti-Zen, I think.<BR/><BR/>Actually, our reading list is pretty.. complex. "Virgin Suicides" and "Battle Royale" being two of the trickier pieces.Niteowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539564869436309431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15452053.post-43056873510302919492009-01-28T13:48:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:48:00.000-08:00Yer over thinking it, Owl!Seriously.Also, you are ...Yer over thinking it, Owl!<BR/><BR/>Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Also, you are confusing YA with literature.<BR/><BR/>Go read the first few chapters of a "Warriors" book at the library...or get some coffee and read it at borders.<BR/><BR/>That's all they want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15452053.post-936227879615513702009-01-28T07:51:00.000-08:002009-01-28T07:51:00.000-08:00Just remember this quote that's often sourced to S...Just remember this quote that's often sourced to Steve Martin: "I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot."<BR/><BR/>Sure, authors are idiots because, deep down, we know we're making art. But we can strive to be <I>secret</I> idiots by publically focusing on the entertainment factor.<BR/><BR/>And you, sir, are highly entertaining.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I agree with the YA thing. When I was a YA (not sure when that was) most of the fiction I saw made me vaguely uncomfortable. MOAR ROOBUTS!!Greg X Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796457104870312964noreply@blogger.com
