Fyodor Dostoevsky = The Man. There is no room for debate on this.

	I'm no writer, unfortnately. I do, however, have a lot of time for reading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Truthfully I wish I had more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But everything else is good, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yes, I'd rate my life as wonderful. No question about it. If that's what you mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sarcasm is difficult to detect on the internet, so I hope you're telling the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Entirely earnest! I'm really not one for sarcasm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, then stay away from me. Especially when I'm in a foul mood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, only for myself is what I meant. Feel free to be as sarcastic as you like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm.. gee.. thanks. No, that's no good. Forcing it won't do at all. You still haven't told me what you think. Of Dostoevsky, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The italics were a nice touch. You're going to get absolutely unreasonable if I say I felt some parts of Crime & Punishment are over-wrought and self indulgent, aren't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, I'll just quietly transfer you over to my shit list. ;)

The laywer in me wants to begin by stating that both of those complaints are a matter of taste and then I'll start building an argument against your character. I mean, you're an unreliable witness. I have documented evidence where you admit to not being much of a reader. Are we really going to begin taking advice on books from someone such as yourself?

That's what I want to do, but I won't. I just don't have it in me anymore.

	I've gone too far, haven't I? Like I said, sarcasm is difficult detect over the internet. And, like I said, I'm not a lawyer anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not that, it was the logical fallacy that was the jump between "not as much time to read as I'd like'" to "not much of a reader". I mean, would that even work on a judge? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In a previous life, I'd be buying you a ring about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You always proposed to women you weren't able to successfully incriminate as ill-read? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like a challenge. Are we officially flirting now? I better stop. Is Crime & Punishment all you've read? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heartofflame 2012-04-03 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	I am sorry, that was a great deal of sarcasm at the end there. Completely guilty on that count. I really enjoyed The Idiot, but I'm afraid just those two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unfortunately, I have to run. They're closing the library and I need to get home anyway. The Brothers Karamazov. Next time I "run" into you, we'll discuss. And I'll try to be less of an ass. I promise. Or you could tell me to read something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Plague by Camus. If you haven't. It's one of my mother's favorites. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haven't. Found it. Checking it out on my way out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
