Life Goes On
"Lord of the Rings or Star Wars?"
"What?"
"Lord of the Ring or Star Wars?'
"I don't know; the whole Star Wars franchise has left me wanting as of late, so I'm going to go with Lord of the Rings."
"Blasphemy."
"How so?"
"Seriously, a story about four arguably gay men and their quest for a ring; gay rhetoric if I ever heard it."
"What! It's a story of four friends who share a completely platonic relationship and quest for a ring of immeasurable power."
"Yeah, the power to unite the world for the purpose of greater good."
"Exactly."
"For gay men."
"What? No. Not for gay men. It has nothing to do with being gay."
"Oh yeah, read the book."
" Why would I read the book?"
"You haven't read the book."
"No."
"For such a big fan of the movies, how could you not read the book."
"I just never got a round to it I guess."
"I bet you can't even read."
"I can read."
"What books have you read?"
"Catcher in the Rye, War of the Worlds, 1984, need I say more? What books have you read?"
"I don't read."
