I've just finished Book One. It's... slow, draggy, unique(?) but it has a peculiar effect on me. I want to know what's going on.

So far I've caught on that mirrors has some importance in the story. I'm liking the book, but I can only read it once every so often, when I can concentrate.

Make an anagram from your name.

My pseudonyms are: Sir Ruban Allum and Lars Burnalium.

I also go around as Paul Hellion (you know, from "parhelion"?)

*CREAMS MY PANTS*

I have like three different editions of this book, but I want this PDF so I can have it with me at any time I want.

Added you on shelfari for kicks and giggles. This site is really cool. I've been looking for a good library site thing.

>>1014632
Are you *actually* from Brunei?

Kuala Lumpur is a far superior city. Live here instead. We have better bookstores, too!

Not enough new friends here. Post more profiles.

It's a springboard to future success, hopefully. I mean, the more published work you have, the better, at least in my opinion.

I just happen to write about HARD, THROBBING PENISES entering QUIVERING, VELVET VAGINAS instead of serious themes like DIASPORA.

My erotica has been published in compilation volumes worldwide. I brand my real name on them so I won't hawk them on 4chan, though. ;X

But the bulk of my smut is private commission work for gentlemen and ladies who seek customized stories tailored for their turn-ons.

Thanks for the suggestion! Sounds like I'd like that a lot.

Oh, and yeah, I know Mole People is a crock of shit. There are plenty of holes in that story. Loved Toth's storytelling, though.

This has made me squirm and cringe. I am intrigued. I want to read more.

I'm reading it now. I've got a rated reading speed of 800 words a minute but I've been at 2666 for four days straight and I'm barely past the first hundred pages. Not that speedreading matters, but I think it's telling of the book, that it plods along...

Anyways all I know is that Espinoza and Pelletier love Norton but Norton is indecisive and then SUDDENLY PAKISTANI

SUDDENLY VON ARCHIMBOLDI

Also, awwww shit, Issue 5 has the Petronas Twin Towers on the cover.

I live in Kuala Lumpur. 'Gon subscribe to it.

Today is hot and I glare at the air conditioning for not doing its job, though I know full well that if it were sentient like I, it would tell me off for doing the same. My desk is a mess of scattered items with books, magazines, receipts, lists, phone numbers, invitations, brochures, newspapers and CDs purposely sitting in the way they sit now to fuck with my feng shui, creating an oppressive air that makes me impossible to work or write, hence my stream of consciousness style. I've considered cleaning it up, tidying it, stepping back and thinking of ways to stack books in the right, ideal order, but I am rooted to my chair and I can do no such thing. I can only sit and close my eyes and ignore the mess, and ignore the heat.

Why isn't called Trollface Literary Review, then?

>>1000380
What's the editorial process for ZWG like?

Only Revolutions is pretty, though. Check out the formatting on that motherfucker.

iBooks maybe?

I read the first sixteen pages of the Sam bit to this girl I like as a bedtime story. Results were mixed. There is nothing to dissect, Only Revolutions is spam poetry.

Argh, I think I'll just download Delicious Monster for my Mac or something ;\

>>1000227
Thanks. Any other apps?

>>1000208
Sorry. Those are two things.

>PARHELION, YOUR MIND IS BROKEN

Hey /lit/tle girls, wanted to ask if you knew any apps for my iPhone I could use to organize the books I own in a visual and pretty manner (prettiness is why I have an iPhone, inb4 haters)

I don't want it to *read* books, just OCD-ly organize my collection. I've bought a ton of books that's been left unread, and I thought having a visual checklist to tick off would help me massively.

Pic is Delicious Monster for iPhone. It got yanked some time back. :(
