my apologies, James Fenimore Cooper, I was unfamiliar with your game

I got curious and checked “Last of the Mohicans,” and while it’s true that the prose is starchy, this opening paragraph is a banger and you should not deny yourself the pleasure of the effort.
T was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet. A wide, and, apparently, an impervious boundary of forests, severed the possessions of the hostile provinces of France and England. The hardy colonist, and the trained European who fought at his side, frequently expended months in struggling against the rapids of the streams, or in effecting the rugged passes of the mountains, in quest of an opportunity to exhibit their courage in a more martial conflict. But, emulating the patience and self-denial of the practised native warriors, they learned to overcome every difficulty; and it would seem, that in time, there was no recess of the woods so dark, nor any secret place so lovely, that it might claim exemption from the inroads of those who had pledged their blood to satiate their vengeance, or to uphold the cold and selfish policy of the distant monarchs of Europe.

Mark Twain ethered James Fenimore Cooper 150 years ago in ways no modern musical rivalry could ever emulate. Kendrick came pretty close though. twain.lib.virginia.edu/projects/ris...

An odd thing w/ Frank Herbert is his writing is so terrible, but the ideas and the dramatic action of the scenes are really fascinating, so you end up playing a better version of his novels as a kind of movie in your head. Like the execrable prose is part of how the work engages the imagination.

The idea of asking a bot about Fenimore Cooper when Mark Twain was right there:

Mark Twain's essay on James Fenimore Cooper's literary offenses should be his most required-reading work.

Antes que Thoreau, Susan Fenimore ya había escrito este maravilloso "Diario rural". Hay que reivindicar su legado.

I imagine the story is pretty good if you think James Fenimore Cooper is groundbreaking and also you’re literally 200 years old

Mark Twain would've agreed (that you should use AI to read James Fenimore Cooper)

First read Mark Twain on Fenimore Cooper's literary offenses. After that, you won't even have to take Last of the Mohicans seriously.

Here, frinstance.

“Fenimore Cooper’s Literary Offenses” is one of the most (pardon me) savage works of literary criticism ever penned.
