no no no no no, he has always been sick and disturbed, and worse than that, sick and disturbed in a way that couldn't possibly get a true pervert aroused it's like he knows there are perverts out there, he dreams of being a pervert and telling the story of their fantasies, but he has not one fucking clue there are some writers, like oates and rendell, where you can actually believe they've actually met a pervert if not watched...

RICHMOND, Va. — Edgar Allan Poe took good care of his corpses. They are neatly cut up and craftily stowed beneath floorboards (“The Tell-Tale Heart”); they are walled into ancient catacombs where nothing is likely to disturb their well-earned eternal slumber (“The Cask of Amontillado”); they are encased in coffins that somehow permit them to emerge to take care of unfinished business (“The Fall of the House of Usher”). But the living...

Since it's a bell curve, the vast majority fall between 95-105, with the greatest concentration at 100 +/- 0.5. While it might be true that 50% of us are below that golden 100, most are so slightly below it that it is statistically negligible and there is no functional difference. The main problem is that 100 IQ is just not very smart, although it's capable of most of the mundane jobs that make up work and home life and, if pushed...

Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 01:53 AM by Salviati First in a 3 book series. I assume he's read Neal Stephenson, but if he hasn't there's another great author to check out. Also Vernor Vinge, Deepness in the Sky and Fire upon the Deep in particular, Rainbow's End is also worth checking out.

IMHO, the publishing industry started to implode in the mid-90s and has largely disintegrated since then. The quality of books published with traditional publishers versus well-written, self-published books is hard to distinguish as far as the writing; the only difference is the money behind the marketing of the book. There used to be several layers of editors working on a book, which greatly...
