Lone Star Statements
A collection of one-star user reviews of so-called classic books, taken from Amazon. A couple of samples:
Well... he's got a point.
I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment.
It's worth remembering that the "classics" which students are forced to read in high school and college were selected by literary academics, one of the least perceptive aggregations of lukewarm intellect humanity has ever produced. Silas Marner, anyone?

The Grapes of Wrath (1939)
Author: John Steinbeck
“While the story did have a great moral to go along with it, it was about dirt! Dirt and migrating. Dirt and migrating and more dirt.”
Well... he's got a point.
Mrs. Dalloway (1925)
Author: Virginia Woolf
“The only good thing to say about this “literary” drivel is that the person responsible, Virginia Woolf, has been dead for quite some time now. Let us pray to God she stays that way.”
I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment.

Just hilarious. However, one must note that we have a NO STARS rating for this blog. Probably because we aren't "classic" writers.
Don't even get me started on the reading selections from high school. Fubar intellect driving the suicide rate of teens through the roof. It's like the guy on the movie Airplane that kept talking everyone in to offing themselves. All in the name of culture. I've got your culture right hear you pathetic tards pretending to be intelligent.
Grumble. The number of brain cell killing hours I was forced to spend in school reading goblin spit someone else thought was good makes me want to vomit.
Ugh! Silas Marner! Speak of it not to me!
