It`s a pity what I dont read this book in 2005.
I`m very jealous of main character because in my country girls dont do first step by yourself.
But what about Anna? Author gives clues on his site but I dont find clear answer in internet.
Does she alive and where is she?
sorry for my poor eng

Girls don't do first step by yourself anywhere. The writer is inexperienced and guessing

There are a number of glaring parallels:
>both feature dense MCs, who are about to enter a world alien to them
>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in
>both feature magic
>both have crazy, power hungry villains after the MC's life
>both feature highly desired artifacts that can grant wishes
>both have huge nutcase fandoms that churn out an infinite supply of fanfiction and analysis
>both feature main girls with long brown hair who are extremely talented and knowledgeable about magic

/lit/ - literature

I think it's because both draw so heavily from Christianity, so in a very vague way they're both Biblical derivatives and therefore the comparison is justified.

I don't understand. If you're that much in debt you either went to a very expensive school or you're retarded (taking like 6 years at a public uni? Not receiving any scholarships or grants). If the former, your degree is far from useless and your school will take your places by itself. If the latter, well, you're retarded and wouldn't get hired anywhere no matter what.I graduated with a BA in Comparative Literature from a second-tier state school 2 years ago and make 80k a year, fuck off with your complaints

I wanted H. Humbert and Lo to live happily ever after.

You write them as being raised by white middle class parents in a middle class town, so the dialogue is the exact same as everyone else.
