Straight by Dick Francis
April 6th 2009 18:04
Straight is as good an example as any. It is about a jump jockey whoes brother dies and our Character Derek takes over his gem business finding out how is works and solving the mystery of the missing dimonds and stumbling across his brothers deepest secrects. There is nothign amazing about this and you won't pick up the book and think it deserves a prize but you will enjoy it. As you will enjoy every piece of fluff he turns out but you won't really know why. My best guess is that it is cosy reading. Something to read when you are heading to bed realy on a rainy night and want something to lightly entertain you before you sleep. Perect for when you don't want to turn the tv on but don't really want to challange yourself too much either

A good book is one you enjoy reading.
I like "literature". But I also like a good story. And some writers just have the knack of getting you hooked because they tell such good stories.
Going to parties and listening to people rave about "literature" is really quite tedious. You know the people are wankers. You just have to humour them and drink yourself into a stupour to cope with their pretentious bullshit.

In real life I'm a total mute. I know the minute I say something, I'll upset someone's sensibiltities.
I think I do it on the net a bit too. But that's only because people attack me for no reason. Other than they're not happy with themselves. Or haven't had their voice listened to ever, as well.
It's nice to have a voice. Even if it is just a text one.
But that's what writing is all about. It's about having a voice. We've all heard people speak. They use words to speak. The same ones you see on the page.
Boy humans are stupid.
