Anybody else a Saunders fan?

[wonderfulthirds]

George Saunders specifically, the writer of Pastoralia and In Persuasion Nation, among several others short story books. What he addresses in his stories mainly include the almost laughable mistakes that people, as a whole, make. Consumerism + organized culture and how they turn us into pigs etc etc... My favorite is Pastoralia; it has several good short stories besides the one the book itself is titled after.

Check him out!

Can't say I've heard of him before. What nationality is he?

[Hobo]

We have a I am currently reading thread. Why don't you take this discussion there?

[wonderfulthirds]

Oh, didn't see that, sorry.

He's American but he's far from a die hard patriot.

[Munch's Master]

I was hoping this'd be about French & Saunders.

I am disappointed.

I like Saunders ice cream. It tastes like kittens and rainbows.

[shaman]

It tastes like kittens.

How is that a good thing?

[OANST]

Fuuuuuck. Ever taste a kitten? Shit be good.

A picture for any situation.

The bottom right one? Just no...

Where's Havoc when you need him?

[OANST]

This from your personal files, Strikey?

[Strike Witch]

Nope. I'm phobic of nits and parasites and things.
