Thoughts on the Redwall series? This (http://www.somethingawful.com/news/bargain-book-bin-3/) had me rolling
>Yes, critics called your last Redwall novel "daring and Pynchon-esque," but were these critics aware that this book was merely a random assembly of unrelated chapters from previous Redwall novels?

I spend more time laboring over choosing what book to read than I do actually reading. Suggest books I might add to this list for the random pick, make fun of me for having not read high school-tier novels, or convince me to forgo the random pick and just read x.

You have some sense of whatever you're feeling at the moment, and what would lead you to pick up "To the Lighthouse" is not the same impulse that would lead you to pick up "Oscar Wao." Just read whatever you're feeling, and if you chose wrong, just read to the end of the book and choose again.

don't ask 4chan.
go write something.
whatever it is you do while you wait in anticipation, do not visit 4chan, begin to move away from this stupid habit. if you have enough balls to write something and try to get it published, yet still feel the need to visit 4chan, your maturity level is highly unbalanced. it doesn't make you a savage, you're simply flabby in that aspect. please. anything but 4chan.

It is an essay on the financial and educational consequences of bad mental health in modern America. It's not a novel.

What is bad about 4chan? The community is blunt, rough and straight to the point. I like short answers like 'Good', 'No', 'You should kill yourself', etc.

Why does the truck walk?
The dusty rain calmly buys the girl.
Small, dusty jobs quietly desire a misty, big worker.
Fast, grimy jackhammers roughly shove a hot, dry hood.

Don't bother with that pseudoscience. Everyone just believes in what suits their political agenda and nothing's actually based in reality.

After reading The Elementary Particles, I found at his heart he is actually astoundingly sweet and sentimental.
He is the hero we need and society is the villain

How important is the opening sentence to a story or novel?
I feel like half the time writers try way too hard and place too much emphasis on its importance.
If you decide the quality of writing and story on one opening sentence you are retarded

It's more for publishers, I'd guess. They need to see very quickly if the story is worth their time.

Opening lines are about being concise, but providing an awesome hook. A great opening line causes the reader to want to more.
A great opening also has great flow-great rhythm. My friends and clients know me as often being over critical. On the other hand, when I see greatness, I am equally blunt. Your opening line is nothing less than superb.
Here's an example of a perfect opening line:
"Only one enemy remained; two if you counted God."
