Hello, as suggested, I am Introducing myself.

[Mallorie]

Hello all, I don't know that I will post much here however I decided I had lurked long enough without an account.

I discovered this forum while looking for bits of Nabokov's Essay 'On A Book Entitled Lolita'. By time I located the bit I was searching for the people I had been speaking with had taken the conversation elsewhere. This forced me to conclude that they likely did not care, and perhaps I would be more happy lurking this forum than trying to insist to disinterested people that Nabokov was not a pedophile.


My name is Mallorie Nasrallah
I am 24
I am a bit snarky
I shamelessly enjoy Science Fiction because I have no literary friends around to mock me
I can not stand William Faulkner
I adore Vladimir Nabokov
I tried to love Irvine Welsh, but sadly could not find it in me
I adored Chuck Palahniuk until I discovered that he secretly has only ever actually written one book (there is that snark)
I love Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, though the man frightens me
I have been much disappointed in Ken Kesey and Aldous Huxley, I suspect both should have watched out for the brown acid, one hit wonders that they were
Much to the shame of the above mentioned Nabokov I also love Ayn Rand
I am not an Objectivist
F. Scott Fitzgerald makes me feel old and perhaps like I should spend more time lounging around with the windows open and summer coming in
I run a small business as a commercial photographer
I have been married three times, because I quite like the idea of romantic love, though it bores me in novel form
I live and have always lived in the US
I rarely capitalize letters when typing, I am only doing so now in the hope that you all do not think a total moron of me

That is about all about me that is interesting or has any context on these literature forums.

Oh, and lastly
I have very much enjoyed reading through these forums so far.

Hi,

welcome.

I totally agree with you on Palahniuk but completely disagree with you on Huxley.

Nabokov, I never read anything by the man.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

I suspect Huxley was tainted for me in my early youth, my mother an aging hippie, had piles of books of on psychoactive drugs, among these books was The Doors of Perception, I read it a few times and came to resent it as a remnant of the wasted power of the baby boomers, and also... it was stuff my mom thought was cool, which of course to a tween, things your mother thinks are cool could not possibly be so.

:D

oh and thanks for the welcome!
