Its funny when you find out a poster on here ends up being someone you know.

In my case he was my footy coach at the time haha

I can't imagine anything worse than knowing someone from this hellhole

I remember discovering one of the mates I had made at uni was a regular on the Freo board.

Explains a lot about him, actually.

When you realise you're playing the Eagles and not everyone can be a loose man in defence.

Where’s a good point to start from?

Keep in mind this is a bloke that doesn’t read much books unless it’s non fiction?

In high school I didn’t mind the World War One poems tho.

It’s funny cause I was never into stuff Like this till I actually started to listen and read out some of Kris Kristofferson lyrics recently.

I don't really know a good place to start exactly. The best thing to do would be just start reading and see what you like.

If you're talking about poetry personally I like the romantic poets like Keates, Shelley, Byron and the modernists Eliot, Yeates and Frost. But there's so many.

Some really great famous short poems like The Tiger, The Road Not Taken, Ozymandias, The Raven is a little longer but awesome, The Destruction of Sennacherib, Sonnet 18, Daffodils, Invictus, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. See if any of them spark an interest and follow the author.

For books it's the same, but the investment is quite a bit longer. I don't believe in plowing through a book that you're not enjoying though.

The Road Not Taken is one of my favourite poems.

If you prefer the celluloid version, the Simpsons have you covered.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, shame on you.

Treehouse of Horror golden era

Classic Simpsons was peak television, peak satire, peak comedy. Just peak humanity really.

 

[xenxen]

Do you like walks by the river and chess as well xen?

I will tell you what I do like...nasi lemak wakaka. ✌

When you’ve returned home from your second tour of Iraq and your wife has ran off with her coworker.

Most shows are unbelievably lucky to have one season like peak Simpsons. They went season 4-9 with a basically flawless run. That's 6 years of absolute brilliance. No comedy comes close to that level IMO.

avishka5 what sort of films do you like? Might be easier to recommend some authors along the same lines.

Talking of that what's happening with the final season of Archer?

 

[Truckosaurus]

No idea. I assume, like everything else, it's been delayed due to COVID.

Wrestling is pretty meh without the crowds. AEW has lost a lot of momentum.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Then he can try Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

Putting me on the spot cause i don't cult follow movies. Watch heap of comedies and etc and enjoy movies like Django unchained, Gangs of New York and etc.

That said what probably piqued interest would probably listening to Johnny Cash and then moving on to other older country stars. I guess I enjoy the story telling of the struggles/love/bad and good times that old country/western music portrays.

stuff like this I suppose.

Well there's heaps of pulp fiction westerns. Zane Grey alone must have written about 80 of them.

Not a western, but Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope may also interest. And anything by John Steinbeck.
