    Do any of you read Manga?

    Definitely watch Elfin Lied sometime soon, you'll love it. As far as artists...I like Tite Kubo's style (Bleach), though the series itself has long past its expiration date. One of my fav artists is the one from Death Note (can't remember his name). His style is dynamic and superb. I...

    Do any of you read Manga?

    Yeah, same here. I haven't really watched much anime over the years myself. When anime was just an obscure niche, it was fun and edgy. When it became popular and mainstream all over the world, it just didn't have the soul and boldness it once had. I actually wrote an article on that. I...

    Do any of you read Manga?

    Seems like you're a fan of anime/manga from the nineties...those titles brought back some memories. I'd say my top five from that decade are Kenshin, DBZ, Marmalade Boy, Hana Yori Dango, and Gunbuster. And dito on "otakus". They're today's trekkies.

    Do any of you read Manga?

    If you don't know, "manga" are Japanese graphic novels. One I enjoyed is called "Welcome To The NHK", about a man suffering from a real Japanese phenomena, which is being a "hikkikimori". These are people who have developed a fear of the outside world, and stay indoors, often for years at a...

    E.L. James: Fifty Shades of Grey

    I like the book. It's honestly not that pornographic. It just seems like a light bit of escapism.

    Any songwriters here?

    Is there anyone who writes song lyrics? And I don't mean poetry; I mean lyrics meant to be sung to music. If so, how do you compare it to book writing?

    An excerpt from Rave Girl

    Rave Girl Excerpt #2 The cab dropped her off near the strip. Maya began walking. She had no plan. She would just walk. Walking through crowds of people, it became painfully obvious, that she was the only one out by herself. Everywhere seemed to check for ID. Maya got into a few...

    What's up?

    Modernist literature...that sounds awesome. Why does your course select the authors it does? Is it because they have a particular style that you need to learn about? Or is it because of their historical significance? Basically, why those particular authors? If I'm asking too many...

    What's up?

    Thanks for the warning. And no voice is better than Morgan Freeman's. There's no particular genre that I'm stuck to as far as reading. I look books with originality, or books not afraid to take chances. I'm the same with movies as well. The last book I read was called David Wong...

    I haven't seen March of the Penguins. I think I'll rent that this week.

    An excerpt from Rave Girl

    Lol. Honestly, the book isn't an "adult" or "erotic" book. It has a few such scenes, but the book is a drama.

    What's up?

    Wow, sorry Polly. Lol. Ever seen the movie Surf's Up? I think it's WAY better than Happy Feet.

    An excerpt from Rave Girl

    Definitely plenty of that in the book. As far as adjectives specifically, there's lots of that in this passage here. As far as intelligent thought, this scene describes a rave. Not much philosophical musing goes on in such places. But again, in other scenes in the book, there's lots of that.

    No, the book doesn't have illustrations.

    An excerpt from Rave Girl

    Chapter One. Synchronized with pulsating lights, the bass pumped through the giant speakers like a massive cardiac arrest. Red and blue beams cut the pitch-blackness, as the booming techno and house mix brought the crowd alive on the dance floor. Those on cocaine danced...

    What's up?

    How's it going? I'm looking for a nice book forum to cal home. I've published my first novel, and am excited about it. I look forward to intelligent and fun conversations on this site.
