Amo le persone che leggono. Penso che siano molto umili. Quando qualcuno legge, sta essenzialmente ammettendo che vuole di più, che il mondo non è abbastanza per lui. Vuole più conoscenza, più esperienza. Di qualsiasi cosa sia la vita, la persona che legge vuole di più.

[Rice's] grand achievement in Memnoch the Devil is the writing of a modern-day Divine Comedy. Interestingly, however, her most hostile critics don't recognize in her novel this marvelous accomplishment...If anything other than a "quick fix" of fear appears in Rice's gothic writing, some of her reviewers yammer that something has gone dreadfully wrong with her story...her latest vampire novel is disappointing, they argue, and, because of their own ignorance of the important history of genre, they miss entirely her point in the novel...This is a book about religion, salvation, and personal confession...Regarding Memnoch's ongoing debate with God about mercy, Rice's novel also echoes John Milton's religious epic Paradise Lost

i understand why jokingly threatening suicide is a very bad practice and why we, as a society, take it so seriously. I really do, BUT I really want to post "If Breznick doesn't become canon I will kill myself" as a goof without it being sandwiched between the explanation you're now reading.
