Books? dont make me laugh

Well, anyway, I was reading this James Bond book, and right away I realized that like most books, it had too many   words. The plot was the same one that all James Bond books have:An evil  person tries to blow up the world,but  James Bond kills him and his henchmen and makes love to several attractive women. There, that's it: 24 words.But the guy who wrote the book took *thousands* of words to say it.        
                                        
Or consider "The Brothers Karamazov", by the famous Russian alcoholic Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It's about these two brothers who kill their father. Or maybe only one of them kills the father. It's impossible to tell because what they mostly do is talk for nearly a thousand pages. If all Russians talk as much as the Karamazovs did, I don't see how they found time to become a    
major world power.                     
                                        
I'm told that Dostoyevsky wrote "The Brothers Karamazov" to raise the question of whether there is a God. So why didn't he just come right out and say: "Is there a God? It sure beats the
heck out of me."                       
                                        
Other famous works could easily have been summarized in a few words:        
                                        
* "Moby Dick" -- Don't mess around with large whales because they symbolize nature and will kill you.
* "A Tale of Two Cities" -- French people are crazy.

I don't think you "get" books.

You obviously read, so I am guessing that this is either a thinly-disguised troll attempt or a cryptic attempt at igniting discussion on the nature of storytelling and narration.

I think it's a troll in attempt to make people over-analyze the OP, in which case, we both fell for it.

Thanks for the ad hominem

I never read a James Bond novel, but I can believe it's badly written.

Other that that, your point..?

That was not an ad hom, buddy. I wasn't making any sort of argument. Just speaking from intuition.

those assholes were paid by the word!! seriously fuck those guys for trying to make money in a world where their talents are not conducive to wealth.  it is serious devaluement of the art

I'm guessing you prefer books with pretty pictures, and no content to be spoken of.

Don't put words in my mouth I never said that.

Well, anyway, I was reading this shitty post, and right away I realized that like most trolls, it had too many   words. The plot was the same one that all shit posts have: A dumb  person tries to fuck up the world,but  idiots get trolled by him and his henchmen and makes love to their hands. There, that's it: 24 words.But this guy who wrote the post took *thousands* of words to say it.

I'm told that OP wrote "The OP post" to raise the question of whether there is a need to use so many words in books. So why didn't he just come right out and say: "Do we need so many words in a book? It sure beats the
heck out of me."

here, let me write something about defending reading to this troll.

Borges preferred short stories to novels.

Oh!!! Maybe that's why he wrote them!!!

This isn't trolling you saucy fucks, this is wit.

Hello, OP.
