About me I like to practice word alchemy.
I try to turn straw words into golden sentences, and wooden phrases into diamond-encrusted paragraphs.
I’m not really sure if I am doing it right.
But I want to make the world much richer.

I want to be a published writer. Right now, I'm studying literature and writing in college. In my free time, I love reading any books that I get my hands on. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

About my library In my library, I am keeping track only of what I've read thus far up to the present point in time, so it will be constantly updated.

Well don't go by me. Millions of people think both Roth and Bellow are superb. I just can't stand them. The same goes for Margaret Atwood. There is an attitude or a sense that runs through their books, it is different with each of them, that makes me hate their books. In Atwood's case she just depresses me afresh with each new book. But you should make those decisions obviously for yourself. And you will. Don't go by just one book.

Cheers.
I see you read Phillip Roth. I cannot read him or Saul Bellow. Can't stand them. Good luck with your studies.
