>Kirsten sighed as she took a long smooth drag from the pure white cigarette. As she unpurced her velvety smooth lips from the filter now stained a feint purple from her violet lipstick

Stopped here.

I'm amazed that you can say all of that and still not answer his question.

>fascist-psycho, homo-crossdresser, lesbo-weaboo with superiority-complex posters flinging philosophy-faeces all over a board for literature
>people that just read for fun
i dont get where the intelligence is. try /sci/ or /g/. at least in the latter the average age is in the 30s, many have jobs and the ones that dont are neckbeard elitists.

it's not a put-down so much as reality-check

kaaaaaaack, could you sound more try-hard?

Have any of you ever been published?

If so what was it? You dont have to give the title or anything just give a little detail, was it a short story? a novel?

What was it about?

Was it hard to get it published?

i don't buy into that 'world is run by the bankers/cfr/reptiles/grays/skull&bones' jargon.

Really, what is this?:

"They also never showed the public the hard core porn that was made for years in secrecy for the elite. Behind Disney's good front lies hard porn, snuff films, white slavery, Illuminati mind-control..."

I mean Jesus, enron can hardly steal employers money worth a damn, you'd think that disney snuff would be all the rage.
but on a side note "the secret history of the world" by booth was one of the most colorful conspiracy books i've ever read.

im being absolutely serious when i say this:

go buy the "ultimate npc creator guide" or some shit at your local comic book/table top gaming store. Buy a pack of d20 system dice. Within this book are literally thousands of combinations of character tweaks and traits and personality quirks, names included. Shit works

i actually read it post high school, it definitely is a bridge between young adult/adult fiction.

worth a revisit? Not to sure about that...

i dont know why he is so popular among pseudo-philosophers. He is self admittedly jaded and overly cynical, no dick, disgusted with himself, and a pedophile. The guy is more screwed then a catholic priest.

Doesn't /lit/ like American Psycho?

I find the 'best selling books' shelf at the front of the bookstore quite intrusive.

Question: What do you gentlemen tell your family/friends when they ask the dreaded question "What are you reading?". "What is it about?"

You are clearly reading a fucked up or great book that can not be summed up in two or three sentences.

Example: I was reading Galapagos yesterday and my mom asked me. I just told her it was about fucking dolphins. I didn't want to expand on it.

expositions

oh how i fucking hate them

>level of sexual explicitness

Whaaaaaa? They have about the least sexually explicit scenes of any book out there. I thought they had sex by swirling sparkly moonbeams around.
