this is how you lose her: loved it and i wanna give it to the next guy who breaks my heart and say something like "you're gonna end up just like him if you leave my great ass. I SWEAR".
i picture the main character as a strong ass hot guy from the DR n shit and he probably has a really nice face but is also human and has feelings. but still acts like a dick. i don't know...

THANK YOU. that helps.

good to see no boys were diddled for this one. maybe some day i'll pick up his books again.

haven't heard of kate zambrano but are you saying that she ripped of jean rhys? how so? oh, i am curious now.

anyway, time for me to deliver on my promise:

fuckin shit do i have the book for you-- i mean if you haven't yet read it

Marguerite Duras -- L'Amant (Eng. tr. = The Lover)

Story of the Eye - yes, nice sex scenes, the rest of his oeuvre is full of spiraling despair. can't stand his philosophical works though.

i feel like it's kinda the same. except the green girl is younger and the novel is set in london and the girl is nasty as shit

i googled that book just now and saw she was compared to jean rhys. WHAT A SURPRISE

but the lover is a masterpiece of sadness. she's fantastic!

anyway when you're over your need for girl drama (i imagine you find something cathartic in their predicaments) i can recommend other very different stuff.

but read that one. fucking great book.

i feel like i am being difficult

sorry buds

does anyone have a pdf of "Damming the Flood: Haiti and the Politics of Containment?" ?

go here and click download

install it, it will ask you to install some other crap during the process but just say no.

go to the link i gave you, click the box that says "DOWNLOAD TORRENT" at the top of the page. click whatever comes up and it will download the torrent for you.

torrents are really simple. just be careful about what you're downloading, look for comments affirming that its real before you d/l anything.

those files i linked to are epub so you'll need something that can use that format.

Cool stuff! Love checking shit out of the Library where I work!

That does look cool.

I miss my comix days. I was all about the RAW and Drawn and Quarterly-type people at one point.

It is great because it is not a Q & A type of thing. It is just images and then comments and stories from the artists about the image being shown, sometimes their work, sometimes something that influenced them. cool stuff.

until now i really like it, some of the characters in the stories seem like they don't really know what they're doing/are confused, which i really like.

books for free!! (i stole them out of my little brother's old room. they are mine now)
