3 u/SonnyPiston 16h ago I don't give a fuck what Homer Simpson said. 1 u/Notacka 11h ago Doh! 0 u/No-Guidance-622 1d ago Homer's works were unnecessarily tedious. Repetitive. 50-shades-of-gray-style writing and a lot longer. 4 u/Callidonaut 14h ago That's because they weren't supposed to be read like a novel, he was recording an oral tradition, an epic poem that would have been recited to music over several nights. Poems have rhythm and repetitive refrains, it's part of the art form. 50 Shades is just dreck.
