I read this in school a long time ago, and I never forgot it. It may have been a short story. A man is in a car or a taxi, I think, very happy with life and how beautiful it is. Then he suddenly...

Thanks, but SpokenVerse already does that. I'd much prefer to do lesser known works from dilettantes and people developing their craft. I think it would be fun.

Not too long please... I would prefer 10,000 words or less. Also, wouldn't mind having a pal to share writing with for constructive criticism. Any takers?

I just finished the book, but I felt it could probably be condensed to about 500 pages. I think some of the suspense is ruined by the middle dragging after his escape.

Ohh, and this guy is a pretty good narrator, coff:

Ohh god, I remember back when I used to listen to those free libravox audios... ugh. There would be people with Indian accents that I could not understand at all, and they would seem so amateur,...

Alright, thanks pallio.

I'd be interested if anyone had any recommendations. Also, if you want to include any other superb history books on other topics, I'd be fine with that as well. I'm really trying to improve on my...

Christopher Hitchens pretty much states my feelings in the foreword: the naming of the characters is not only corny, but doesn't make sense and the writing is VERY condescending. Every line of...

I'm looking for audiobooks that have the benefit of a great narrator, who really makes the story interesting or does a good job entertaining. I can think of three instances off-hand: 1) Curious...

Maybe you could feature writers from the forums. You could host some of my writings on there, heh.

First off, I'd like to apologize for taking so long to respond. I've been moving (from Texas to Colorado). But I'm happy someone actually read something of mine, and told me about it, without me...

I always outline my stories, but the problem is that if I do this, it feels like I've limited myself to a short story. I get about 10,000 - 13,000 words, but that's all. If I want to write a...

Was curious.

In chapter 3:

"if he did not break the second mule driver's head to bits, he made more than three pieces of it by dividing it into quarters."

Am I reading that right?

EDIT: Damn typo in the topic title, haha. Beautiful*

To anyone who has read this book along with Atlas Shrugged, does anyone notice the similarity between C. Linus Maxwell & Penny Harrigan with...

I shall preface this by saying that poetry is not my thing, but I rarely attempt it for a bit of fun:


Taciturnity for Eternity (12/18/2014)

Taciturnity for eternity
Brought on by maternity...

Hmm, anything in particular I should study before I take that piece of literature on, or is it stuff I can just google?



I've read Lolita. I've been meaning to listen to Infinite Jest on...

Thanks for informing me. Speaking of Nietzsche, what works of his do you recommend I read? I made it through Beyond Good & Evil and enjoyed aspects of it, but I couldn't finish Thus Spake...

Curious, since I was expecting better than this, because his writing seems to lack clarity.

I'm always told that Ulysses is difficult to read. Is this strictly because of the vocabulary words or is it more than that?

And thanks to everyone else for the recommendations. I shall add them...

I really love learning new words, so does anyone have any good recommendations? One of my favorite things about reading Marquis de Sade was all of the new words I learned, haha.

I'm having problem deducing exactly what you mean. I'm sensing a touch of sarcasm, but it's subtle, so I could be wrong. Are you criticizing my writing style as trying too hard to be deep, or are...

Thanks, I will send the full story to you via PM.

Ahh, okay thanks.
