The last sentence of Nadja is something like 'beauty will be convulsive or not at all" -- I may be getting that wrong it's been a while since I read it.

It was an AWESOME reference to your AWESOME character within a character and I am AWESOME.

Flag - how am I supposed to know that among all your other skills, you are also an expert in French Surrealism. It was an awesome reference. If people think that my character's alias "Nadja" is a reference to the character in the book of that title, that is pretty cool.

Because you have seen a picture of my partial bookshelf, of course!

This one, with Nadja tenderly placed closer to the floor so she wouldn't fall from the higher shelves.

I loved that thread.

Right on top of Il Monstro and what I believe to be selected works of Vonnegut. So two class levels above the floor. That cookbook is an Untouchable.

The bookshelf thread helped me know whom I should befriend and whom I should scorn/Because they only had empty space, Sandman and porn.
