'Tis a degenerate modern world we live in, dear Sir.

We must erect a society which reflects the values of Utopia on earth, something akin to the 1950s, before the communists took power

Contrary really, every kid I know is hyper-sexual which is why there are so many teen mothers.

Lester Del Ray wrote a short story called "Helen O'Loy" that basically checks the block for a Robot Pygmalion romance in the Western canon. For anything else you either need to look into Amazon erotica or manga/light novels.

You're welcome. Have a nice day.

Morelike the Laughter of the Sphincter, am I right?

Here is the first poem of the collection:

Idiot Song

By permission of the sun,
the arctic chill descends.

In a teacup storm,
in a sentence the logician's fate

and poetry an enemy of the state
of things

by the roadside in a ditch
or beneath a buckled bridge.

Now it is our wounds
that make love in the streets,

wounds hastily dressed
with vetiver and mint

while slender poplars bend
amidst the violent winds.

What is your name,
mindless sun?

What idiot song
will mark your end?

I asked a painter why the roads are colored black.

He said Steve it's because people leave and no highway will bring them back.

check out Lindybeige on youtube, good starting point. I am writing a book set some while earlier then you and trying to research lots of the same stuff.

Removing Sebastian from friends wasn't a cool thing to do, but it made the feed much, much better.

If you can't force yourself try and manipulate yourself. Either force yourself to move away from your room and into the library, whatever. Or try and follow a strict reading routine. It is much like working out, it requires discipline for however fun reading might be, it often still feels like a chore because you have to put in hard work to fully appreciate difficult literature. It is only while we are reading or after we have finished a book that we truly appreciate the fruits of our labor, but never before.

As Iam writing this I have told myself for the past 30 minutes to go and finish Herodotus. But here I am, on 4chan for my feeble brain can only digest small posts and only bring up the energy for small responses not merely because I've just gotten back from the gym but moreso because we're programmed to preserve energy only when a situation requires us to do so. In a fact we can only manipulate ourselves if we want to achieve the things we want to achieve.
