This is not The Haters Club You're Looking For discussion
Is this hateable?
Yes, this is hateable. I suppose those would be reasonable questions if you were friends or something, but you're not. Also, the s.o.b. is giving you homework. is there a "Fuck you" button or something?
I suspect you're some kind of sock puppet, but the above is the best idea I've heard in a long time.
Stupid sock puppet.
I wish there were a fuck you button. But I also wish I got anywhere near that kind of attention from strangers around here. You joined like a day ago and you don't even have a picture. What the hell?Also, put up a picture immediately.
I AM a sock puppet!Please don't listen to her.
She is me!
And you would get that kind of attention if you read the sort of books that the 3rd sector Mormon home schooling advisory board (Sci-Fi subcommittee for upright young adventurers) is interested in.
I figured that out because his profile says he's from Utah.
so that sort of thing doesn't happen a lot?
I figured he was some kind of book review spam-bot

The book was Kraken.
• How much foul language does it contain, and what sorts? A fair amount. Mostly of the fuck, shit, cunt variety.
Yeah that's a strange question. Are there particular sorts of foul language that are more tolerable than other sorts?? What are the categories and how do they stack up, I wonder.
You should really replace your brown silhouette with an image, Monkey.
PLEASE!!!
PLEASE!!!
Tell that person that you don't need homework, Monkey.
Or give a really long list of questions in response.

Or give a really long list of questions in response.HAHAHAHHAHA! I love that. Why don't you compose some questions for the response, Sarah. We haven't collectively messaged anyone for a while, now.
I got the idea from the zebra who was sick of questions in this Shel Silverstein poem:
"The Zebra Question"
I asked the zebra,
Are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or quite with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on
And on and on he went.
I'll never ask a zebra
About stripes
Again.

Yeah Monkey! I vote for #56 again.

Thanks, Monkey! Now we can take you seriously. ;)

Now that I know how, I do want to answer him...but I can't find the message. It's not in my inbox or trash
ok, so it was right on my home page there.I wrote back:
Mark, first thing you need to know about me:
I AM SHE! (no homo)
I think can answer your first two questions at one go.
There's a LOT of fucking. Anal, double penetration, even a fair amount of hot man on man.
Is that what you are looking for... I have some pictures I could send you if you like. Do you have any pictures?
Violence -- not so much, except in the fucking; I mean there's some pretty heavy bondage and a real raw fisting scene that was so vivid, I had to take two Xanax just to get in the mood (isn't it funny how things you learn in real life can cross over into your literary world?(You don't have any poppers you could send me do you? I find those REALLY help)).
Perspective -- uh, yeah really, it's just a bunch of guys hanging out in London with a squid, so I don't think that really matters.
I see you're from Utah, I've never been! Do you ski?
I don't. I have one of those speed suits, but I've never actually used it on the slopes, it's just for going out.
write back!

• Whose perspective does the novel take, and how deeply into that person's (or those people's) thoughts do we get? I haven't read the book, but it sounds like it doesn't delve too deep into the person's thoughts. Sure as hell sounds like they go deep into his ass with a fist though!

Instead of a "Fuck you" button, I'm changing my vote to a "Heavy Anal" button
Why did I want you to put up a photo again?::furiously hates self::
smetchie wrote: "Why did I want you to put up a photo again?::furiously hates self::"
So that we can now post on the Clean Reads board.
I think they require a picture.
OH MY GOD! I want to tell them I quit reading the bible because of the nudity, violence and sexual situations. I get really uncomfortable if I have to picture someone begatting someone else.Gross.

LOL thats hilarious. Normally I have at least a few friends in most groups, I have zero in that group. I wonder why.

soo, And Tango Makes Three is the "most challenged book in America"
Maybe someone should offer to post a cleaned up version for them
I was looking over at the Clean Reads Group and someone wanted a similar read to Lord of the Flies, but with less violence, that they could read in school as a substitute. Someone suggested The Hunger Games. It is basically 350 pages of people slaughtering eachother for entertainment, so I hope they choose that option.
I can't look at that group. It hurts my head.
Megan aka *Mheghan* wrote: "I was looking over at the Clean Reads Group and someone wanted a similar read to Lord of the Flies...What dystopian novel doesn't have violence and/or sex and/or dirty words?
Also, someone in that group was tooting their own horn for writing "clean" romance books. She cautioned that there were casual swears, like "Dang and Heck".
WTF is IN a clean romance book? Is it a book about courting the old timey way? Does someone drop off a calling card? Are trips to the soda shop involved? Do they finally get married and then awkwardly begat some kids?
I read the Love Comes Softly (heh) series by Janette Oke when I was in high school. It was Christian and set in prairie times but it was a romance. It focused mostly on the heart of the matter and not the matter of the matter.
My coworker and I listen to audio books at work and try to choose "work place appropriate" books, which basically leaves us with some YA and boring romances to choose from. All day one of us is yelling "Damnnnn!!! Why don't they just do it and get it over with!!!!" or chanting "do it! *clap clap* do it! *clap clap*" over and over. Even my boss prefers us listening to "racier" books. *sigh* my job is so mind numbingly boring.....

WTF is in a clean romance? Answer: anything but sex, lots of conversations, walking, hand holding, etc.
I hope I'm not the only person who gets annoyed by fake curse words, examples:
Oh Goodness! I think I just broke my toe!
Pancakes! I just crashed the car!
Phooey! I just ran over the dog!
Geez Louise! I forgot to pick up the kids 7 hours ago!
You obviously don't mean it if you don't have the balls to say it, just saying...
I can understand not cursing in front of children, but if I hear one more person say "Oh nutterbutter!", I'm gonna lose my damn mind.
I have to admit that I think "Pancakes!" is a funny fake swear.
Oh my God I hate you people! I looked at that group and now I want to kill myself. There is a whole thread about books they had to put down because the main character was having an affair or said "fuck" or went to a psychic. IT'S FICTION!!! I can't even think straight I'm so mad. I'm dumber now. Thanks.
so is it an all female club?I looked on the "manly clean reads" and it was women discussing what to get their husbands.

New friend in Utah update:no response yet
I accidentally read a clean romance about a year ago and was PISSED. There wasn't ONE nipple standing at attention. All of the "sex scenes" just faded to black. It was one of the worst things I've ever read.
Oddrun wrote: "hm, clean roleplay... Paul, 46, just home from work. 'i think i'll have a nice loong shower.'"Paul's wife stays in the kitchen and makes meatloaf for dinner while Paul showers.
From the Clean Reads Group:"I put down My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (which I was thoroughly enjoying) because of the "F word". That word jolts me when I hear it in a movie, but when I hear it in my own voice in my head, it's particularly offensive."HAHAHAHA
"Another one I stopped reading, even though I was really enjoying it, was the Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly. There was a kiss that involved some groping, and the description made me uncomfortable. I could not recommend this to a young person, and would hesitate to recommend it to other sensitive readers." LOL
"And I have Julie and Julia on my hold list at the library so I'm sad to hear it has F-bombs too. dang it." This is a perfect example of fake cursing.
"Lately, I also put down A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine l'Engle when we came across the spirit medium (she had a christal ball and everything.) " A crystal ball you say? The Horrors!!!!!!!!!!!
What is wrong with people. They basically say in their comments that they don't like anything with any sex, violence, cursing, homosexuality ,drugs, alcohol etc. They only want to read about the perfect cookie-cutter life, and there is so much more to life than that and it is not realistic. Its scary to think that the people that are extremely sheltered in life grow up to be the girl that drinks her first beer, looses her virginity, gets pregnant and arrested in the same week after moving out of their parents house (this actually happened to a girl I graduated with) Of course not all people are like that, but every sheltered person from my youth was pretty damn close to that, which is sad. These, of course, were the same people who criticized other kids for having a beer Saturday night.
That group pisses me off, thanks for showing it to us Monkey, lol.
All I know is that life is not a perfect place, so only acknowledging your ideal perfect fantasy world is very ignorant of reality. I think I need a cigarette........
It's making sense to me now... they're all stay-at-home LDS moms.And Monkey, I can't stop looking at this damn group. It's a G.D. (hi Meg(h)an!) trainwreck!
I have decided to leave this group and dedicate my time to reading the good books recommended by the Clean Reads folks. That's where I really belong. Not here with you Haters.Y'all can fuck yourselves.

Paul is modest and showers in his underwear
Paul's wife is always referred to as Paul's wife

Attaboy Rusty! *Pats Rusty on the shoulder*
This is not The Haters Club You're Looking For
Books mentioned in this topic
The Book of Genesis (other topics)And Tango Makes Three (other topics)
and then I got this:
Hello, I'm considering reading this book, since one of my favorite authors liked it, but I want to know a few things about it, first.
• How much foul language does it contain, and what sorts?
• Is there any explicit sexual content? How about implicit? How about innuendos and attitudes?
• If there's violence (and I suppose there probably is), how graphic is it?
• Whose perspective does the novel take, and how deeply into that person's (or those people's) thoughts do we get?
Thanks for any help.
not even on the book that I reviewed.
is there a "Fuck you" button or something?
