I'm putting up a box with books I don't want. It's not like I'll give them away, but I hopr to be able to sell them at a used book store. Recently I received a package from a friend os mine in the US, with a bunch of books I'm not really interested in, and which cost me quite some money. Oh man, I'm so pissed off, I could spit fire! 40€ gone for a bunch of books of het porn of the dominance-submission type. Really, that's not my trip. Wouldn't minded it so much, if I wouldn't have to pay such an exhorbitant fee for them. I know, I know, there are countries where 40€ are just a coffee and a croissant, but here 40€ is a month's worth of lunch. I'm pissed. I would have rather used that money on a new Swatch watch, which I OBVIOUSLY deserve. Now, I did not bought the books, but a friend of mine send them to me for two reasons:
- She has no more space in her shelves and needed to get rid of the excess
- She thought I might like them.
Okay, I read "Claiming of the Beauty" by Anne Rice (Anne Roquelaure, as she signs those novels), and it was exciting when I had not discovered the full extent of gay literature (a passion that must be cultivated, you don't just born with it), and I would fall upon anythng containing hints of it. But now that I have seen what's out there, even if its not so good, why would I go back to books which might hint of it? Books written by amateurs in the truly "fanfic" fashion of those deprived of talent, writing to get off with words, inventing "original fanfiction" because they don't have what it takes to make a story of their own. I have read plenty of fanfiction (still read when I get the cravings) and have written my share, so I know the difference in styles, and I can say that these bound stories should have never gotten out of the Internet. Their quality is so poor they should have never been the cause of the death of trees to make a distribution on other means. Where are the editors? This kindof crap makes me think that self publishing should be prohibited.
So, since I'm thinking about hitting the used books stores, I thought I could as well get rid of my poor purchases as well. Oh yeah! There go old books gotten that I would never read again (save the one about Dracula, since I hope to have a second round with it, and then I wish to do my own resaerch, for whic I need the references in it), and some other craps. I guess the used book store owners will look at me weird by delivering almost 20 books of porn ranging from S&MB to gay sex. I do not expect to recover those 40€, but it will be good if I could at least recover 3€. That would make my day. Then again, I hope they give me money for the books, and not "purchase options". I guess this would be a hard batch to sell on Internet... from here.
Last week of June. I'm growing... so sensitive. These days I can feel him and see him in everything. I read his letters yesterday, and I felt so tempted to transcribe them here. I wish so hard to make him live here too, not only in my heart. His words are simple and beautiful, and you can't believe that this are the words of a kid who would take his life away. He's still the light of my life. I remember not only every day I spent with him, every place we went too, how beautiful, and how hot he looked, but also his letters, the feeling of receiving them, reading them... and every dream I had with him. I love him so much, so much, there's no other love in the world that could ever match this one. I love him.

Honey, those books are... a waste of good vegetal life. Really, red and throw away, or don't even read at all. I'm still trying to understand why would my friend read those books and then why would she send them to me. Fuck, if she wanted some good porn, all she had to do is ask me and I would have gladly--- ohhh... I take ages to write a story, I get it. Still, I'm so much better at it! I even broke the NC-17 barrier and got to write in the NC-21 league.
Birthday? Oh, would it be... me? ^_^
Thank You!!!!
