    F Me, you choad!

    I remember sitting on a bench outside the dormitory reading Imajica when my college crush finally acknowledged my existence. We talked a bit about the book, I think. I don’t know. I can’t remember. This woman was really interacting with me? 

    What I’ll always remember, though, are what were her parting words were: “Well, have fun in your fantasy world!”

    That one still stings. What a novice!

    She’s in a pretty successful rock band now. And by all subsequent college interactions, she’s likely still an awesome human being making this world a better place. 

    And I still have fun my fantasy worlds, thank you very much. It’s nearly impossible to do so otherwise.

    Yeah. Love Barker. 

    My daughter is already a fan, too. 

    I have to keep her away from my Barker books until she’s a little older, though.

    I’m going to check out her Barker books. So weird to think of him writing YA stuff.

    Tough loss. I'm so sorry. If you were only reading Kafka things could have metamorphed into something completely different. Seems like someone covered in blood would appreciate barker.

    I'd never heard of them but did some googling and that was what I got back.  Is Cum Dumpster a good tune?

    American War by Omar El Akkad - Very cool so far, dystopian future book. Goes into another American civil war and what the country could look like 100 years from now, climate change, etc. Very realistic that you could actually see this happening.

    Next up is Cats Cradle - Vonnegut

    Love this thread for the ideas, might have to check out Barker.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I'm re-reading on of my favorite Rollins books, Broken Summers.  They're all intense of course.  This one is a double dose of intense.  Lovin' it again!
