At any rate, he fails to sell nihilism as an attractive alternative.

The can exalts capitalist consumer post-culture, and as to 'vanilla', well--need I really spell this out? So, as an award let us rather take all available flavors of pudding, combine them in a hole in the ground, and let the winner take a handful of it to serve as an award.ScrivenerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861652415900436411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7384532812750538348.post-33650498495769838282015-11-09T21:54:33.158-05:002015-11-09T21:54:33.158-05:00In his private letters he had quite a bit to say o...In his private letters he had quite a bit to say on the topic of religion.

I really never got that feeling from him. <br /><br />And yeah, to show my own opinion of the shallow cretins and sniveling wimps behind this "decision" I'll be going through some of my Lovecraft fiction. I might even pick up that beautiful leatherbound edition of his work at B&N. <br /><br />Ardashirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158869983724325467noreply@blogger.com
