The people who would get anything out of this book tend to be the same people who don't have the attention span for it.
It's good if you never want to get into the subject matter except this brief overview but if you want to get deeper you should really start with intro textbooks on logic and neural cognition.

Who is your favorite of Shakespeare's characters? For me it's Hamlet - intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor

Does anyone want to read my creepypasta? I would appreciate some constructive critism if needed and your opinion on it.

What are some Very Important Texts that I could take and rewrite them for the twenty-first century in a very sly way, like the way Ulysses was inspired by the Odyssey or the way Infinite Jest is basically crafted from Hamlet?

Lately I've been thinking of writing some mix of Meeting People Is Easy and Dante's Divine Comedy.

Try Greek Drama maybe?
I'd suggest Sophocles' Theban Plays or Aeschylus' Oresteia.

My kid brother (he's 12) decided that he wants to write something that's good enough to get published. I asked him write me a page so I could see where he is and give him some pointers/motivation, because I know how much that would've helped me when I tried things like this.

I was hoping you guys could take a look and toss some thoughts, too. Here's his thing. http://pastebin.com/XXs2n2br

I want to start a blog but don't know which site to use. I hope to accomplish two things with it: to keep a digital record of my journal entries so if my satchel gets stolen I won't be too upset, and to gain enough readers that I can use the blog to my advantage as a reference when I send queries to agents.

I posted this before and was recommended three sites, but I don't know how to decide, they all look the same to me. Also, I would like advice on how to attract readers. Any of you compromise yourselves enough to keep a blog?
