Jesus... this is the D I G I T A L A G E. Getting someone to read your work (at least the first few pages of it) is the easiest thing in the world now.

The only thing that could possibly hold you back is the (lack of) quality of your writing.

selfpublish as in amazon or blog?

Okay so if I'm reading a book, how much do I actually have to read to say I've read it? I've not got a lot of time but I want to lead at least 50 books this year.

I know this is bait, but if you stop even one page before the end, you haven't read the book, you've read part of the book.

All of it, from cover to cover

>>9427564
So basically you want to read books the way women watch movies? Only partially with absolutely no real understanding of what you read? What's the point? Maybe some kind of remedial reading courses can help you with your mental disability so that you can read a book like a sane, and mature person.

Anyone read Pure Filth? I'm interested in it conceptually and I've enjoyed Peter Sotos audio stuff before, but the book costs so much it's difficult to justify.

You can probably find it for cheaper if you wait around for it to pop up on eBay or something. I've only read one Sotos book outside some assorted interview, magazine stuff, but I guess Pure Filth is pretty different since it's just transcripts from Jamie Gillis flicks.
>>
>>9427483
I mean I know I can get it for a few bucks cheaper but it's still around $60 shipped.

I wish they'd just put it out as an ebook or they could give a sample chapter or something.

How do I sound intelligent when I speak?

I am fairly well read and I have a decent working knowledge of vocabulary, however whenever I speak, both in an informal and formal setting, I just sound like an idiot. I feel like a lot of what I say is sort of nebulous. I feel like I have difficulty with the precision with my language. And though I have a decent knowledge of vocabulary, my personal use of it is limited.

For those of you well spoken on here: how do I get there?

Are there any books that help with this problem?

If you don't sound intelligent, you aren't intelligent.

>>9427352
You're stupid. You can't express yourself in writing either.

Don't speak. Be as silent as much as possible. Give the briefest, most direct, simple answers. Only contribute something substantial to a conversation when you've seriously considered it.
