>just acquired two $8.99 - $14.95 copies of a book I absolutely *loathe*
>so, because I value the joy of giving poor people my pretentious scraps over the 'fucking ridiculous' offer of $4, I'm going to give them away
>Even though we are months away from Christmas, I still want to post about it as a Christmas gift that I will give away in 4 months so I can draw out my period of altruism
>In other words, I'm gonna dangle it in front of your faces for months until I've baited enough people who will then EARN my charity
>that's right, you don't get this until I've done a thorough background check on you and demand that you forward me your address, phone number, and socioeconomic class so I can judge whether or not you are worthy of my prize
>and after I've harassed you in the name of welfare, I'll then decide who is worthy of the copy of a dystopian (sci fi really) paperback I couldn't part with for four dollars

>but yeah, fuck four dollars, I'd rather use what I otherwise wouldn't use as an incentive for people to contact me and try and win my favor
>I'm such a cunt that even the thought of giving it to just a library or a local charity is downright absurd
>even more so, the thought of just giving it to a family member who might not be well off
>that about wraps it up
>so leave your personal information down below as I wait and eagerly click the refresh button in anxious excitement over my incoming audience
>oh, and also, here's a Christmas tree

>The author incorporates song lyrics or lines of poetry/prose into their novel

Why the fuck would you do this? Its not deep, and if you have to rely on the work of others to deliver your themes or set the mood of a scene, you're a shitty writer.

Not only is the implication about ASoIaF being as bad as Twilight incorrect, the "for men" part is nonsense too because ASoIaF is full of female fandom.

Writers, how do you develop a unique literary style? Or at very least write well enough to keep people entertained for 100+ pages
