"How nice - to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."

~Vonnegut; Slaughterhouse-Five

So there is a bookstore. I love books, I especially love the self-help books in this particular place. Though I must say, my imagination has always served me up with the -- ah, shall we say, finest forms of assistance?

Mm.

I found a copy of Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle which I'm keeping, and Slaughterhouse-Five which I'm reading. I also found a few volumes of Iron Man comic books, which I've taken all the copies of and hidden.

	No, it isn't, it's in New York being guarded by Captain America. At least I had the decency to give my own narrative in my book, I didn't need someone else to do it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that's... different. Yeah? Found your a bit fucking boring, to be honest. Prefer his plays. Doesn't it give you a bit of an existential crisis? Being Wilde's creation and all that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well his plays weren't worth going to prison for, were they? I'm Dorian fucking Grey, I don't know the meaning of existential, so why would it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really give a fuck who you are, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I was done at 'uh huh', but you seemed to need to prove a point. I thought your ego needed constant massaging, so I'd at least pretend to hear you out for a bit. Plus, I told to plenty of people without giving a fuck about them. Boredom does that to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really give a fuck about anyone. I'm not capable of it, but I'm still not the one who professed not to care. I just thought you were an illiterate moron -- which, actually, I still think might be true if you didn't have any aesthetic appreciation for my book. Me aside, it's a literary masterpiece, it's incredibly dense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's overrated. (Reply to this) (Parent)
