I definitely want to read more "sci fi" by him. I'd also like him to tackle the contemporary world a bit more so I know what he thinks of it. Other than that I could live with rereading his masterpieces till the end of my lifetime at least

i read tender is the night after finishing gatsby and i loved it. it explores a lot of the same themes with a much greater depth, and the prose is richer i think. his short stories are a blast too.

I unironically think that my diary (desu) contains some very nice writing. However, my more structured pieces are typically awful. Any anons out there who have overcome this problem? I don't want to die without writing something cool for my friends and children to read.

to hell with them, burn your books, sit and rewrite your entire diary, boring monologue? burn it. send it to the fire. restrict from yourself any sense of pride. you think Joyce thought his trash masterpiece was any good? you think proust died satisfied? why else would that batty jew kafka, a visual broccoli frond demand his work be lost with his last breath, scattered back into the ,embrame of the lord? because it can always be better. the higher you climb the further you can see, and the further your grasp from the lowest clouds of heaven.

Are there any books that are like The Before Trilogy? I feel like there are no good literature about the evolution of people's understanding of each other, of the effects of age in a relationship, and so on.

What is your favorite #1 Best Seller with an accompanying cinematic adaptation? Tell us, is the book *really* better than the film?

I'm torn on this one; I think its perfectly entertaining, and kind of clever, but a shallow mystery is all it really is. And Fincher is, well, kind of a top-knotch hack but that's just my opinon.
