/lit/ - Literature

I've lived in NYC for a while now. The best book stores are:

1) East Village Books
2) McNally Jackson
3) The Strand (go to rare books on third floor)
(4) Housing Works (architecturally beautiful. Surging literary crowd)
(5) The Strand in Central Park

Don't listen to these retards. NYC is the greatest city in America, possibly in the world.

Part of me regrets having gone, the other part is grateful.

Regret it because I spent three years of my youth in shitty shit shit Cleveland (go to school where you want to practice).

Grateful because I learned so much, felt consistently challenged and stimulated, met some of the greatest people I've ever encountered, and grew exponentially as a person. Also got lucky and got a really good job out of the deal.

Like everything in life, it's what you make of it.
