The pile of books will obviously grow a lot bigger throughout April, this is just what I have now:)

Something that totally sucks about using your blog for marketing is that oftentimes you have to hold back your opinion. But here I go, my bad habit, opening my big fucking mouth. I’m gonna lose some followers and I’m gonna be called a hater, and I don’t fucking care.

It totally kills me that I sell books in the single digits becuase I’m self-published and people are actually proud of reading this pile of raw sewage. I have tried to read three titles in this stack and discovered for myself that these writers really blow-ass. It’s not the subject matter or the characters, though I can find plenty of flaws in those, they sincerely have a limited grasp on the English language. They get published and they sell books because it’s easy to market to 14-year-old girls. You can get all of them to read the same thing. Writing for adults is hard.

Yeah, I know there’s a lot of utter garbage is self-publishing, but I would rather wade through a thousand of them to find something thought-provoking and original than read one of these re-hashed piles of shit. So how about we all grow the fuck up and read something challenging for a change.

Dionysus, known -like Shiva- as the Cosmic Dancer, who is both the bull torn apart and the lion tearing:

‘Appear, appear, whatso thy shape or name,

O Mountain Bull, Snake of the Hundred Heads,

Lion of the Burning Flame!

O God, Beast, Mystery, come!’

Joseph Campbell, ‘Occidental Mythology’ (via my-nothing-face)
