What's wrong with female erotica? LOL. "

Female erotica is, i'm sure, wonderful for females.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I need to ride to amarillo and go to a BOOK STORE book store. we have to drive 30 miles to get even to a fucking wal mart, and their selection is kinda rough...remember, this is the place that sells guns with which we can all murder one another but finds guitar magazines to be way too edgy,

And no, i haven't read The Magus, what's it all about? I felt like i was pretty damn well read, but i haven't read hardly ANY of the work you are mentioning, but i will.
there is a great website called thriftbooks.com where these sainted book hippies have pretty much made the going rate on a hardback with shipping $4...maybe i'll get some there.

In between stephen king releases, i read whatever i can get my hands on. i go to wal-mart and buy 8 or ten books that look like they might be good. like i said earlier, they are ALL thrillers. i don't even know who the authors are half of the time
they are entertaining but utterly forgetable. I HAVE to read though, so i take what i can get.

Anaïs Nin. Read not just by Henry Miller, duh. I'm assuming that your best-seller Stephen King list doesn't include "Delta of Venus" or "Little Birds" which are read NOT SOLELY BY WOMEN.

I gave you a LINK to The Magus, dude. You don't even get Amazon? Can't you order a Kindle like the rest of us and download books to the Kindle?

I promise I won't poke fun at you for your love of that formulaic hack, Stephen King.

I've happened upon a bit of Anais Nin in my day. I guess what i was saying was, the kingsolver book made me feel like i was reading something private intended for a woman, almost like i was peeking in on something i shouldn't see. It's hard to explain.

Ahhh , Steven King. I've read everything but his grocery lists. I find him to be consistently sublime. I feel that his "voice" is so singular, such a pure product of americana, providing an inimitable mirror and always capturing the zeitgeist of our time. Formulaic hack?! Have you read much stephen king?
Read the eight books of the Dark Tower series and then tell me he's formulaic.

I didn't realize you sent me a link. Today has been about other things, lovey dovey things. I will damn sure check it out, especially if you are offering it as your top recommendation.
I don't have a kindle or money for amazon. But i can find it on Thriftbooks.com for $4, or get it in some renegade way.

I didn't "send" you a link, my post included a link.

Now you are just being mean for the sake of being mean, aren't you? Why?

I really, honestly don't need that shit in my life. I don't wish to be hurt. Obviously i enjoy discourse with you, but why are you speaking to me this way? It's a little venomous.

and by the way, i've read On Writing, obviously. He certainly doesn't "admit" to using a formula in a negative sense in any way.

What? The blue text means it's a link, dude.

i realize that. I'm sorry if i mistook your words for cruelty...i felt like you were belittling me for saying you sent me a link, for just saying the wrong thing.

I'm kind of on edge...i didn't sleep last night, and somebody justgot on to me for wanting to "talk to strangers on that NIN site" instead of spending time with her. But she was SLEEPING for fuck's sake. I think she is getting jealous of ETS.
Sigh.
Sorry if i was wrong. Inflection doesn't come through in text, and i took what you said the wrong way, it would seem.
