So I'm looking for a specific type of book, dont ask me why, I have no idea(perhaps cause ive been drowning my sorrows with alcohol). And I have nowhere else to turn to but you guys.

The story should go like this: There is this guy( or a girl doesnt matter) and he is in an inn, or some public place where people gather. He is drinking and he looks poor. So someone insults him, but he pretends not to give a fuck or that he cant do shit. So he maybe gets thrown out or something.

There is this other guy in the background and he knows who this guy really is, and he needs him for some important quest(overthrow a kingdom, rob a bank, destroy the death star, doesnt matter), and he is the only one with the needed knowledge. So some trickery is involved and they somehow meet and they explain one another who they are, then they make a plan of sorts, reqruit more people in a similar way.

I know this is probably a weird request. I have nothing go to give you in return, but perhaps the challenge itself of finding such a book. Some of you are really well read and know a lot of books, so Im hoping that someone could help me.

This thread sucks

tfw I catch myself doing that

>that feel when you have essays and assignments to complete and can't enjoy a good book while the deadline approaches because you know you should be working on the assignment instead of reading for leisure. but you just end up procrastinating on the internet anyway.

Good for you, psychology 101 boy.

Not OP, but that smug attitude of yours really tickled me off.

So you assume that just because he likes Fight Club he hasn't read anything else or doesn't have any experience with books?
I was (and am) an avid reader since my tender years. Instead of playing with legos, I read books. In my teen years I was already reading Descartes, Blake, Byron, Vonnegut, Bukowski and so on. And by "teen years" I mean 14-15.
I discovered Fight Club right after my 18th birthday and despite all the literature I devoured before, it was STILL a life changing experience.

So instead of generally assuming that you're a top dog just because you finished the latest Ayn Rand existentialist BS fest, be humble lad.

actually I've been quite curious about your poetry in particular. post just one, so I can get an idea of your writing style.

but why?
sure reapers was incoherent, but that can't be the only reason

How many of you guys actually let other people read what you write?

Iv written a bunch of short stories about these two vampires, a man and a woman. They have all sorts of adventures, some together and some alone. Iv been writing about these two since before the recent vampire insanity.

I don't think I'm a terrible writer, I just can't bring myself to let other people look at my work. Because of all the recent nonsense I don't want people to look at it and say "Oh look another vampire story *yawn* I bet he's copying True Blood"

Am I just being an insecure douchebag?

no i used that essay to apply it to the preface and introduction (from the two different editions) i also used structularism to study the way the monster used language and learns it.
however i did not apply it to the novel on the whole
