Can't wait.<BR/><BR/>Have you read The Contortionist's Handbook, by Craig Clevenger yet? Haven't inhaled a book like that in a long while...

I read Fight Club and never turned back. The copies are hardcover, softcover, and in the right corner, proofs. <BR/><BR/>Back when I first started writing I sounded like Chuck, I wrote like him, I wanted to be him, but the more I write and the more I read, the less I sound like him. <BR/><BR/>I used to post at the Cult, then it went pay and I went to The Velvet...n0velideahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972906764644056802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-15501459154427144792007-07-10T19:15:00.000-07:002007-07-10T19:15:00.000-07:00Wow, I see you're a fan of Chucky P. ... even to t...Wow, I see you're a fan of Chucky P. ... even to the point of having multiple copies of the same book on hand?
