About meI 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 a little bit richer.

About my libraryI am keeping track of what I've read so far (and mostly what I come to own), so it will be constantly updated.

Noticed you liked Fight Club, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed bunch of kids and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

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.
