Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

That's what I was talking about over on T(A)U.
So...it's OK to defend a book you haven't read (and I don't just mean defend in the namby-pamby "Oh, but he's Frank's son and he has a right to write these books" way, but actually argue details of plot, etc.), but if one of us attacked it and then admitted we hadn't read it yet, they'd be crying foul left and right.
And we're the ones with the double standard.

Cockbreath? Everyone else's cock doesn't smell as bad as yours.SandRider wrote:I'd also like to apologize to any homosexuals we may have on
this board for my use of the word "cockbreath". It is an unfortunate
word often used by cranky old men, and in no way indicates my
condemnation of you, your chosen and/or born-that-way lifestyle
and sexual orientation, or hobbies.
May the God of Your Choice Bless and Keep You.

Fucking hilarious!
minions jumping over here to see what I've posted about their foolishness

And, as with my apology to Miss Mandy, I was serious and sincere. I do
use the terms cocksucker, cockbreath, dicksucker, cumdrunk ass-monkey,
ass-fuckers, bitchass punks, jizz hounds, and the like too liberally and in a
derogatory manner, and I simply wanted to explain that while I have no
intention of ceasing my use of these phrases, I nevertheless do not intend
disrespect to homosexuals, bisexuals, or the unsure.
You can take this however you wish.
And yes, my penis does stink.
So what's your point ?

Sorry Duke, not quite yet.
You're saying that without ever even seeing
it, much less smelling it.
I would have expected much more openmindedness
from a sophisticated lad like you ....
Frankly, I'm disappointed .....

Okay, now here's a subject I never get tired of ...
I'd love to ask Byron how many stars he thinks Scott Brick is worth. Since he's one of the top three readers in the business today, I'd say quite a few.
I'm still waiting (as mentioned elsewhere) for Byron or one of his preek flunkies to provide me with one legitimate review for Paul of Dune. And I mean for the actual goddamn book, not a collection of CDs.

in the on-going saga of "Paul's Memory" , this week's highlights :
Merrit wrote:Worse according to you and the other OHers(sic). But not so for those who enjoy PAUL OF DUNE, including Library Journal, Booklist, and Publisher's Weekly, some of the top rated review sources in the nation.
Nekhrun wrote:Got it. Those who enjoy that book think those were actual reviews and most don't. I'm still suprised that someone like yourself who writes reviews doesn't see the difference between one of your reviews and one of those.
and then, today:Merrit wrote:Certainly there's a difference. But you've gotta remember that these big review houses receive literally thousands of books per month and then they have to decide which ones to review, then which ones to give long versus short reviews. The old "so many books, so little time" theory applies to them, I'm sure.
Simon wrote:I just don't understand why people feel the need to "demand confession!".
What is, is. It's plain to see. What "possible difference" could a public statement make? The books would still be. And, semantics aside, nothing would change. Would BH and KJA's admission of (fill in the blank with your personal gripe) make everything better? No. Denials and confirmations are all silliness and truly irrelevant. The books speak for themselves. If they don't speak to you, or worse grate on your sense, then no defense will ever suffice. So why keep asking for the impossible? These "answers".
