ThirdGen Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Nope. The author recounted actual events, but gave all his friends pseudonyms.
Blaze1616 he/him Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Clockwork Orange, one of my favorite pieces of classic literature. If you have not read it, do so now.Why haven't you left yet? Edit: Even if this is wrong, you should be reading Clockwork Orange, and not my post. Edited August 10, 2015 by Blaze1616 1
ThirdGen Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 No, it's not Clockwork Orange. The author's self-insert character is the main character. He was really beat.
ThirdGen Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs were among the friends fictionalized in this novel. Final hint: They weren't dharma bums yet. Edited August 11, 2015 by ThirdGen
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs were among the friends fictionalized in this novel. Final hint: They weren't dharma bums yet. Right now it's actually really straightforward to google it. I think I know the answer, but because I've never even heard about this book before, I'll just let someone else guess it. 1
Kasimir he/him Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Blind shot in the dark because friend is a Ginsberg fan: Jack Kerouac's On The Road?
Delightful Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Google tells me it's most likely by Jack Kerouac. Edited August 12, 2015 by Delightful
ThirdGen Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Blind shot in the dark because friend is a Ginsberg fan: Jack Kerouac's On The Road? Kasimir, you win, win, win, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!" 3
Kasimir he/him Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 A former drunkard, his apprentice, and a traitor attempt to bring massive chaos to many kingdoms.
Ookla the Absent Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I feel like it's an old Kung Fu movie.
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 The Skull Throne Nah, that's not it. But while trying to find out any book set in fantasy-Asia, I found out there is a epic-type-fantasy book titled The Dinosaur Lords. I can die happy now.
Ookla the Absent Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I don't know that I've read anything published this year, except maybe a sequel or two.
Robinski he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Pirates of the Caribbean? rofl - it should be!!
Kasimir he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 The aforementioned three characters do not have shadows.
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Peter Pan? Sorry, but no shadows made me think of that.
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 All the time I feel like I've read it somewhere but I just don't know where.
Kasimir he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 This is the last hint: the trio are going to bring chaos to many kingdoms because they are attempting to assassinate an Emperor. ...I really need to be better at picking books people've actually heard of 1
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 The Providence of Fire Haha, I have no idea. I'm just so bad at this game.
