Youre a petty person, you put nothing on the line and claw at those that do.

A human parasite, a net negative to nature itself...even your children will be hampered by your existence. Youre a product of western degeneration and each generation it magnifies, a sickness that cant be cured because a side effect if enjoyment to you.

BioChemically manipulate by your own baser Biology, literally you have submitted to animal and plant genes and turned against humanity.

Sad, and sickening...

SOLD. thx.
>Raymond Chandler never wrote a memoir or autobiography. The closest he came to writing either was in—and around—his novels, shorts stories, and letters. There have been books that describe and evaluate Chandler’s life, but to find out what he himself felt about his life and work, Barry Day, editor of The Letters of Noël Coward (“There is much to dazzle here in just the way we expect . . . the book is meticulous, artfully structured—splendid” —Daniel Mendelsohn; The New York Review of Books), has cannily, deftly chosen from Chandler’s writing, as well as the many interviews he gave over the years as he achieved cult status, to weave together an illuminating narrative that reveals the man, the work, the worlds he created.
^^sounds especially good.
After all, isn't that sort of the magic ability every writer wishes they had? To explain it describe those moments we all share but think are ours alone?
P.S.
Be sure to get EPUBs (obviously). PDFs are near impossible to read on tablets and phones and you can't find your place, anywhere in the book, by search terms. But EPUBs let you do just that!
Perhaps you anons have no idea how useful and time saving it is to find the exact passage you want, anywhere in the book, by just remembering, "something about ...vodka" or whatever. Plus, being able to type notes, highlight of course, etc.
By Goodnesses, I just do not know why Library Genesis isn't there toast of the town on every single book or lit forum the internet over
And etc

Happy reading!!
