I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Indeed! I've a wonderful collection of 20th-century dystopian classics. I've a penchant for 60s and early 70s mass market Del Reys, Bantams, and Ballantine books. Love that cover artwork!

I have so many books from those publishers cause I read all the ****ty Star Wars novels that got released in the late 90s-early 00s. Those were the worst books ever written but I loved... certain ones... god were some of them atrocious though.

Which ones sir?


I went through the X-Wing series which was awesome but I didn't bother with Jedi Academy. I was thinking about it but didn't really go through them.

I also read one of the bounty hunter books, can't recall what they called that series.

Sorry you had to suffer through those. Most of those books are at least hackwork, but those ones are more valuable as blank paper.

Gave up on glamorama. I think I hate Bret Easton Ellis.

Next book on my shelf: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I was told it was worth reading, so here goes.
