THE BEST OF JUNE

HUME - A TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE

"i hate Hume, Locke, Galileo, Pascal, Kant, Hegel, and all those stupid philosophers that just liked to smoke a lot of pot and write shit that we have to study like crazy!!"

"he talks about a priori even though he is an empiricist"


BECKETT - MOLLOY

"Presumes to lay bare the geriatric mind, but comes nowhere near. Based on the ludicrous proposition that the aging process is hellish and unnatural. Beckett is the true godfather of MTV."


HEMINGWAY - A FAREWELL TO ARMS

"This goes on the 'thrown across room' part of the 'skimmed or thrown across room' shelf. Sadly, this was only mentally done. I could only mentally throw it across the room, since it's a library book."

"This novel reminds me of those rooms with one chair (wooden) and one window (no curtains) which we're supposed to appreciate."


JOYCE - ULYSSES

"This is an outdated book and in today's fast life style few want to be academically oriented and corner themselves to enjoy this book except a few old styled ones who are still living in their past ideals."

"Ulysses is structured on the template of Homer's Odyssey. Well, that's very original. I suppose that its taking place over a 24 hour period rather than 24 sections of an epic poem is somewhat original. If you are 5 years old."


AUSTEN - PERSUASION

"LAME! HATED IT! NOT MY STYLE - TOO FLOWERY, TOO MANY WORDS, TOO PROPER. UGH! So glad I did not live back then! Gag me!!!!!!!"

"Some parts were ok, such as the scene where a girl is jumping around and cracks her head open. I laughed out loud at her idiocy."


IBSEN - PEER GYNT

"The story itself defies the Greek Unities of Time and Place."
