If regurgitating whatever your professors say is a fair indicator of intellect, then I guess you're smarter than me.

You could start with actually reading shit before you judge it (harshly), as you frankly don't know shit about anything.

Not that you can be blamed. Most 18-year-olds are annoying little faggots. I went to an all-ages show recently, and fucking teenagers just think that their shit doesn't stink.

I'd differentiate, and I'm sure I'd write a better book, but the writer is Amerifat, so I'd totally get sued.

Only reading women writers is like being a vegetarian. You're missing out on so much, and you'll be looking like a faggot in the process.

Either way, if I were going to suggest some women writers that have yet to be mentioned, I'd go with-

>Alice Munro
>Aimee Bender
>Joan Didion
>Mavis Gallant
>Grace Paley
