Harry Potter: Get a fucking life
-
You will say: I must be a low-down, dirty misanthropist, apparently. I must hate humankind; I must steal medicine from the elderly; bully innocent kids and hate Singapore. Why? Because I can't fucking stand Harry Potter. More than that, if I somehow come to find that you read Harry Potter and are over the age of, let's say, twelve, I respect you a great deal less. Yes I'm talking about you, grown-up man who still reads 'Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince' every morning at the MRT station.
I know you're asking, "FUCKBAR, but why?" Given the popularity of this shit, I'm obviously in the minority. But just because a million people say a stupid thing is great doesn't mean it's not a fucking ridiculously stupid thing.
I often speak out against the sheer stupidity of reading lousy but somehow popular literature in an attempt to be "cool," I get whole groups of people who don't read anything but pop shit telling me how great the work is and how misguided I am.
This makes me laugh. I mean, not to sound like a prick, but I read ALOT. Easily more than most English majors though I am from the Engineering discipline. I know what good work is; I know what bad work is. Harry Potter, for instance, is what most people who read classify as bad/popular literature. Other examples of such books include the work of Dan Brown, Nicholas Sparks, Ann Rice and the lot.
Now, if you've a made a reading career out of that shit, to you, I say, read a fucking good book for once. Coming from the purely literary merit angle, most people seem to think that J.K. Rowling is a genius, when in actuality most of what one learns in Writing 101 is not employed in any of the Harry Potter books. They're simply awful.
The movies, while pretty, aren't much better. And speaking of the movies, I'd like to rant about how people watch them and then say they've read the fucking book. This isn't bullshit unique to Harry Potter though.
The thing about movies that come from books is that they truly aren't alike. It's the burden of medium, kids. A writer writes a book based on his own image; you read the book based on your own. Then, when one throws a fucking director's reading in and mixes it up, you have a completely different story. Passages are cut, dialogue is changed, actors don't look the same as you would have pictured their character, etc. etc. etc.
But don't act like you're savvy to me when you're a fucking poser. I know that most people are too lazy to read and that's why they settle for the movie (unlike you, reader, who deserves credit when credit is due...you're obviously reading something else right now), but c'mon bitch, don't try to pull that shit on me...
Okay, now I'm done with that. The point is, reading is cool. I find girls who read a least five times sexier than girls who don't (appeareance pending). It's just that Harry fucking Potter is not cool. You're grown-up now, fuckers; read something that grow-ups read.
It's not that I'm that stubborn...it's that I plan to age both gradually and gracefully. I don't like new music. I don't like new television. In fact, I think that both are the reason why kids these days are such fucking punks.
Now, before I get a slew of people firing back with "You just don't get it." or "It's a good story, man," or "you're an asshole," I'd like to say save it. I'm friends with a group of people who don't read anything but that horseshit. Well, take that. They read this horseshit too...every once in a while.

its called Fiction for a reason

You should try to Fxxk more on Naruto the pang sai, cos this piece of shit is more worst than Harry Potter. A manga + anime with gay storyline, useless characters who are either violence or prevert and even the main character is an scambag !

kthxbye

I don't believe someone can be forced to read without some kind of pay off.
If its that bad, why continue reading?
If one have not finished reading, how can one conclude its good or bad?Trilemma ftw!

I do remember in the past, books written by Roald Dahl and series like Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and comics like Tintin and Asterix comics are the classical and success novel. And if you like Sci-Fi type instead of fantasy kinds, I suggest you read H.G. Wells 's books.
