I write like
Vladimir Nabokov

O__________o
I don't even know who he is Oo



Is he really that good ?

Yeah, he's amazing. A small excerpt from Lolita is my signature. You can find a beginning excerpt of Lolita online. Lolita is one of his denser works, but all his writing is extremely stylized and pretty dense, but I think he's genius. His writing is like... purple prose done right, very very right. You just have to read him to get a good sense of him, I'm not doing him justice. He's considered one of the best writers of the 20th century, although to me he's still underrated. >:O Lolita is also one of the most, if not the most, controversial novels of its day.


Fan brown (SADNESS. I HATE THAT FUCKER) then George Orwell (FUCK YEAR 1984 MOTHERFUCKERS) and then the unknown james joyce.

Unknown? o_O Um... his Ulysses is widely considered to be the greatest novel of the 20th century... and he's considered to be one of the great authors of modern literature...

This one is kind of a before and after one for me. My writing has changed a bit after the completion of ICSYL so I wanted to see how I used to type and how I type now.

ICSYL: Dan Brown

Post-ICSYL: David Foster Wallace

Fortune's Fools got me David Foster Wallace. Teehee, he's dead because he hung himself. He also wrote, 'Brief Interviews with Hideous Men'. I haven't read it but it sounds like the title of failed convos with Iwaku denizens >:(

Wolf's Bane got me Margaret Atwood. She wrote short stories for Playboy. AWWWWWW YEAH!
