ricardo Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I find it unsufferable how everyone criticizes him for his ideals... specially those rapists at the Vatican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambergris Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 unsufferable... Well, he was pretty harsh with his critiques to the Catholic church and Christianism in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Do you know Carlos Monsivais? He has just died today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambergris Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 No I don't know him, but yes I saw it on the news today... He was not a writer but a journalist, right? I really liked Saramago, I always felt like I needed to read more books from him and I will... It's so stupid how just some days after he dies the Vatican just comes out with dull critiques to him, but it's not like it should surprise anyone... isn't it what they've been doing for like the last 600 years? always against the great minds the Mankind has produced. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 600? I'd say 1000 years of censurating reason and manipulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambergris Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yes, that... I missed only a few years. Seriously, I feel sad for Saramago's death. Today I just made a list of the books I want to read from him. I just wish I had read more of him when he was alive. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambergris Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Now kids from last year at highschool have to read one of his books.. thank god i did not lol i dont like his literatue :P Why not? is it for his anti-clericism attitute? Have you read his books: Ensaio sobre a cegueira or As Intermitências da Morte? I think his writting and his reflections on society and life are really beautiful.
