is he attractive? i can't tell

He's not a good writer yet. He has written some stuff but he's not well known at all. Not nearly as well known as you think. I've read snippets here and there and I didn't like any of it.

My problem with him is he gives you everything up front. He gives his readers an easy read and most of the time it makes his writing two dimensional.

I also hate any writer who includes modern mediums and forums in their work. Twitter, facebook, msn. Fuck that, honestly. I want to know about humans and their nature and the scope of the world. Good, evil, death. I don't want to get diabetes from over-emotional dialogue and annoying implications of loss. An investigation of first world problems.

He really is the bottom of the barrel for me. I don't understand anyone who goes into a bookstore and grabs Tao Lin off the shelf instead of Cormac McCarthy. I think Tao Lin is a product of media and social incessantness. I bet he's never worked a 14 hour day hard labour in his life.

what's with all the McCarthy fawning? pic related.
