First two were solid, with Eileen being excellent.

Little Life was impressive the lengths she goes towards making you feel bad, but the prose and story and male characters were all trash.

Also, God of Small Things has been on the back burner for a while.

All this aside, I would like to close with a quote from "Stormin'" Norman Mailer

>“I have a terrible confession to make—I have nothing to say about any of the talented women who write today. Out of what is no doubt a fault in me, I do not seem able to read them. Indeed I doubt if there will be a really exciting woman writer until the first whore becomes a call girl and tells her tale. At the risk of making a dozen devoted enemies for life, I can only say that the sniffs I get from the ink of the women are always fey, old-hat, Quaintsy Goysy, tiny, too dykily psychotic, crippled, creepish, fashionable, frigid, outer-Baroque, maquillé in mannequin’s whimsy, or else bright and stillborn. Since I’ve never been able to read Virginia Woolf, and am sometimes willing to believe that it can conceivably be my fault, this verdict may be taken fairly as the twisted tongue of a soured taste, at least by those readers who do not share with me the ground of departure—that a good novelist can do without everything but the remnant of his balls.” — Advertisements for Myself

I just realized, I don't think I've finished any books in the last 6 months. I haven't finished any books in the year 2017 yet and it's already approaching the halfway point. I've been too busy writing! Speaking of which, if writing a book counts as reading one, then I've 'read' 2 complete books, finished a 3rd that I started in August/September 2016, and started a 4th that's about a quarter finished. I want to write more but I don't quite know what to write about... any suggestions?

Also, yeah, I'm a white man, though my hetero status is questionable. Never fucked anyone but women, however I might be interested in giving a trap a go. Hell, even some twinks seem fuckable. If Milo Yiannopolous wasn't so hungry for black cock I might just be open to giving him some white. Only giving, no taking. I'm a 'designated hitter' as it were.

There are statistically more good straight white male authors, so I probably end up with more good books in the end.

Also it is out of principle. I can't tolerate this bullshit ideology.
