Gnostics are heretics who deny the Law and think themselves above its creed, "through grace" and invert the creation mythos in favor of serpent, while vilifying the creator and fashioner of the Kosmos as "evil".

the gap between modern french and moliere is less wide than that between shakespeare and modern english. do try it, it's very readable. the weirdest thing to get used to is how often they say "point".

camus is easy mode and moliere is a pleasure to go through with a dictionaire or something if you need it. they tell me le petit prince is also good.

a dominant narcissist and a codependent junkie interact.

every story is a variation on it, only the details change.

the same short story i always write.

it has come to my attention that basically every story i've written since '10 was, in some way or another, the same story, so this time i'm consciously trying to get it out of my system. i don't want to be condemned to being woody allen.

the basic eight

paper towns

on the road

steppenwolfe/spring torrents/hero of our time/notes from underground/the tunel are all about losers meeting girls
