I'm very lightweight, and only really enjoy beer. I drink a glass of wine if I'm eating a big dinner.

im addicted to coffee tho and I want to stop

You can find any fetish imaginable on the Internet. Reddit alone would probably be enough for that.

>You can find any fetish imaginable on the Internet.
Yes, you can *find* it, like you can find porn on google, yet you go on porn sites instead. The sites I found all have at least one important flaw. "Sexstories" doesn't have all the kinks, "asstr" has a broken search function, etc.

Here's three main differences that the hypothetical site would have with others:
1. Focused on extreme erotica, exploring every kink possible, every combination.
2. A modern look with well classified stories, ratings, stats, and some standard of quality.
3. A community of writers and enthusiasts which can interact and share ideas.

Literotica is mostly private submissions

Don't try to, it doesn't really lead to anything

you're what's known as the head of the spear. you aren't really the problem insofar as you are still poor and you aren't one of the agents fucking up the local economy, but you lend the area cachet - yuppies see you, they want to be you, and suddenly the area is ruined.

real artists love mexicans though

I've read Things, his first novel which I didn't really enjoy that much, and The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise our something like that, which was really fun for a while but in the end was just a gimmick.

I know I should read Life: A Users' Manual, his magnum opus, but I dunno...too light, too playful for me. He's enjoyable for a while but I can shake that feeling that it was all just a gimmick, a bunch of tricks to get your attention.

I adore his stuff. It's stuff that's shameless in his tryhard it is, but Perec is just able to pull through because he's 1. a genuine intellectual and 2. hell of a funny/emotive writer.

Even better than Perec is the guy that translated La Disparition because man that guy deserves all the awards

no it's not

i hope they print it again for you. meanwhile, mine will sit on the shelf in pristine condition, the way Gass intended.

ok guy

>>8495453
Intellectualism rather than Intellect itself. One can be smart but ignorant

If you can't read from primary texts without translation (in other words without being a fucking pleb) you should have no say in debates and arguments.

Challenge accepted.

“There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't sit still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest; Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.”

“Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe."

These are just bits and pieces of some of his works. Actually just snagging these from Goodreads real quick.

Part of his most famous poem....
“There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.”
