Just Tell a Goddamn Story

I once again grace the liternet over at Slothrop.com with an article whose title might just be more compelling than the content.

No, really, you should read it though. Realize that you have to just tell a goddamn story.

The title says it all. I give a few books what’s coming to them. The torch comes this time to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly, Amy Hempel’s The Collected Stories, Denis Johnson’s Tree of Smoke, Lorrie Moore’s A Gate at the Stairs, and J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.

Truthfully, I have no anger with these books.

Nathaniel Hawthorne makes an appearance in the Season 11, Episode 10 Family Guy titled “Space Cadet.”

From FamilyGuy.Wikia.com: When Chris presents a poorly written presentation for class in “Space Cadet“, he complains of not being Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel Hawthorne is seen chuckling over ruining ninth grade for everyone as he writes a story.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer. His works include The House of the Seven Gablesand The Scarlett Letter.

Why dislike something that you’ve previously liked, once it becomes popular? Is there any logic to avoiding something once it becomes popular?

I explore my thoughts on this topic, from the perspective of someone who has hipster tendencies, but is at least willing to admit to it.
