Finished this.
Guggenheims were right not to give him a cent.
I liked some of his portraits of painters I didn’t know and the one freemason guy but all the pissing and moaning got on my nerves.

i read some poetry in between sets at the gym, thats all for today so far. mostly today ive just floated arund on 4chan, so hopefully i get a chance to do some reading after i get back from seeing my friend.

Days with no reading or very little reading always feel more empty than the days where reading is the main activity...

Been reading books on sales. That sounds like it would help me make lots of money doesn't it? The previous question is called a tie-down - you will reflexively answer yes to it. The idea is that I get a bunch of little yeses from you as a form of hypnosis and you will be more likely to buy. Mischievous, isn't it? The technique is used liberally throughout the book, which is strange because I already purchased the book.

I finished Stoner by John Williams, really enjoyed it. Without spoiling anything I’ll just say it has a couple of the most unlikeable characters I’ve ever encountered.

Oh, look who's a sensitive little boy, but like all little boys on this site who play these guessing games of yours, you're dead wrong. Better turn that insult back to where it came, Nancy. Keep those knickers on straight.

I thought the writing was brilliant, I meant that some of the characters actions made them unlikeable. One of them is basically every negative trait of women rolled into one and it’s the most accurate depiction of a crazy bitch I’ve ever read.

your tone is really dominating and impressive with those short little declarative sentences. you are so cool and unfazed (the idioms emphasize this).

Reading Crime and Punishment. Dostoyevsky's neurotic writing style is concerningly similar to the way I write monologues in my own works.

I want to read that one myself. It's been far too long since I've read any Murakami. I'm curious what I'll think of him now.

I was just lightly teasing, anon. I basically knew what you meant. A story can be a great story even with hate-able characters, even with a hate-able narrator.
