I live and breathe some books but goddamn are you actually serious? There is your typical blasé romp and then there is being taken to the limits of ecstasy where you collapse shivering in delight. I understand having a love of literature but unless you have some sort of fetish for it then it does not even compare my friend.

BotNS was meh/10 at best

You're asking me. I've been reading and writing for years. I have accumulated a variety of writing styles, a huge vocabulary, old and new, plots and literary devices. A collection of characters that I love and hate. AND I STILL CAN'T GET PAST THE FIRST FOUR FUCKING PAGES. I'm about to claw my own eyes out.

Please advise.

used book store: 2$ for a used older copy of tropic of cancer with a nice Matisse on the front and a lovely heartfelt intro written by anais nin
borders: 25$ for a brand new updated revised tropic of cancer with a forward by uwe boll and intro by some guy that read all of anis nins diaries with new original 3d cover with stickers all over it

That fucking feel, man.
I read a book once and I loved it and want to read it again so bad, but I'm scared because I cried so hard last time.

Writing.
Fuck.

There's nothing that will make you hate yourself more than trying to write your first book.

>mfw my "diaries" start out coherent and then progress until I'm just writing "FUCK FUCK FUCK CUNT I'M GOING TO EAT YOUR FUCKING LIVER" in board marker across three pages.
