@ccrosbie33 Isn't it equally pretentious to call another pretentious? But--check this out--isn't it pretentious to call another pretentious that called another pretentious? But, you know what? It's even more pretentious to point out that calling another pretentious who had called another pretentious pretentious. And so on ad infinitum...:0
Of course I don't think by definition that recognizing obvious pretentiousness in another automatically makes the identifier pretentious, but your perpetual motion theory is at least pretty witty...
i am not very book savy and i realize this is going to sound completely stupid, but i want to read this book so i want to make sure its the right name, is "the Corrections", the title
Point is.. I know the book, I know I read it.. but I can hardly remember anything of the Corrections .. read it well over 7 years ago. Thought I kept my response brief.. but, I'll stick to my "hmmmhmm, I agree" the next time :)
What I tend to do is switch writers over and over again.. forcing myself to pick up a book or two more than the regular one. It helps you create some "piss off, leave me and my bundle of paper-joy alone" :)
You know.. it might be the same style, but has some serious emotional ups and downs.. but it's written by one of Germans most talented writers, H. G. Konsalik, and the book The bestowed face. (German orginal title; Das geschenkte Gesicht).

@Savorist Bieber and Franzen may not be close in views, but rest assured they are equal in pretentiousness...

@ThisSentenceIsFalse Pretty clever comment, I'd say. (Sans sarcasm)
