It's over. I'm turning 26 soon. My only friends since high school started have been books. It's clear this is my life now. Don't fall for the /lit/ meme. It ruined my life. Don't let it ruin yours. I don't live life. I read fictionalized accounts of life. All my life experience has been garnered from books. I have no lived experience. I hope my warning can save some of you. Don't end up like me at 26 with only books as a testament to having lived.

Keep coping, chud. You've been debunked.

Carver Chads...
>In August 1998, three years after Carol Polsgrove described Lish's heavy editing of Raymond Carver's Neighbors and published a facsimile page showing the editing,[19] The New York Times Magazine published an article by D. T. Max[20] about the extent of Lish's editing of Carver's short stories which was visible in manuscripts held at the Lilly Library. Before his death, Carver had written to Lish: “If I have any standing or reputation or credibility in the world, I owe it to you.”[21] In December 2007, The New Yorker published an earlier and much longer draft of Carver's story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" under Carver's title, "Beginners." The magazine published Lish's extensive edits of the story on its web site for comparison. In May 2010 Giles Harvey wrote an article in the New York Review of Books reviewing Carver's work, and made the observation, "The publication of 'Beginners' has not done Carver any favors. Rather, it has inadvertently pointed up the editorial genius of Gordon Lish."

And? Moids don't read, are you seriously complaining about women keeping literature alive?
