You're luck I'm not Josef Stalin.

Has anyone read it?
It's the speech he made at Nobel. It's about 12 pages long and highly engaging. I recommend it.

Eh... they're OK.

No. No, I was not. Only through the beauty of this post did I metamorphose into a Japanese man.

This guy marketing this crap on /lit/? Had no idea.

I agree. I hate the guy. But I bought that one just to give the guy another chance. I sometimes force myself to read through stuff I don't like just to make sure why i don't like him and to learn his mistakes. This is OP, by the way. Forgot to use my tripfaggotry when posting this thread.

Are you the kid who posted the whole thing about not coming back to /mu/ because you were sick of us?

Agreed. I came across it at a used book store and was sold by the cheesy cover. It's actually a very fun read.

He said Barnes & Noble, not Borders. :/

The Hour of the Star

No. It just means I express myself via my deeds and character. Not by mutilating my body.

I certainly do. When I have to, I'll use the library. But otherwise, I'd rather just buy. Why the fuck would I willingly borrow a book that has been soiled by hundreds of others when I can have my own copy to care for and keep forever? Plus I like the looks I get from visitors when they first visit my apartment and see the walls swarming with my 4000+ books

What this guy said. Plus tattoos in general are very ghey. Nothing says "comformist drone desperately grasping at individuality" than a tattoo.

Mishima. I was wiping down my books and came across Sun and Steel. After that, I spent the entire weekend reading that, The Sound of Waves, Death in Midsummer, and The Sea of Fertility.
