There's many books I wouldn't read with no financial compensation, but very, very few that you couldn't pay me enough money to read.

If you got enough to pay, I'll read Fifty Shades of Grey, What does that say about me? When the end comes I know, I was a book gigolo Costs a lot for Snooki...

My hypothesis is that to truly appreciate Joyce, you have to be in the same frame of mind when you read him as he was when he wrote. Are psychedelics fairly easy to obtain in Denver?

I am getting a bit tired of "chosen one" and "save the world" narratives. I say this as a fan of many of them (HP, Buffy, etc.).

I love a good chosen hero will save the universe story! That's what 95% of all fiction is, isn't it?
