you just have to really concentrate

there are a lot of made-up words

impenetrable only in the way of Gravity's Rainbow, that means it only makes sense if you really pay attention

I have the most ADD way of reading ever but I seemed to follow, lol.

****, I'm supposed to be reading ****ing Oedipus Rex though

Burning Down

Quick Sparknotes version: Oedipus kills his dad (Agamemnon) so he can **** his mother = Oedipus Rex.RAR

We have to answer a bunch of questions about it apparently, I might just do that though. I swear this teacher gets her lesson plan off Wikipedia and just wings it while she drinks herself to death

Burning Down

I had a teacher like that once, I think. At least I was suspicious that she used Sparknotes and whatnot religiously.

been on a bit of a comic/anime kick;

I tired Transmetropolitan but it was too...dense for me...I dunno if it was the oversaturated panels or the schizo dialogue...:\

Didn't want to start a thread as that would seem a little hey look at me, so I suppose those of you who read this thread will see this and that's probably enough for me. Behind the terrible spelling, ignorance of grammar and general dross of my posting here is actually a somewhat enthusiastic writer. I write pieces for my university paper etc and some stuff for one or two other small publications. I have over the last 8 months written about half a novel. I have showed it to one or two close friends who are of course obligated to tell me it is fantastic.

I was hoping to send it to one person from here that I do not know and hence would give me a honest personal appraisal. It would really help if you are an avid reader particulalrly if you read across a range of books and are not just a sci fi novel junkie. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I've done some Pratchett but I would like a wide reader if possible.

I appreciate this is a long self involved post and in reality offers nothing to the forum and I do apologise for that. If there is anybody who might be interested just let me know here or via pm. Apologies for being that chap who made you read through those three paragraphs and left you bored, unfulfilled and feeling cheapened!

Depends on how soon you want a review. I can read it if you'd like, but might take me awhile to get through due to school stuff. I'm pretty well read though, but really picky.
