Since moving to New York I’ve found elation in the ever present opportunities to read. I guess I’ve always had the freedom to find a good book and get frisky, but with a car, the national geographic channel and girls willing to get naked for me, reading some pretty prose was on the bottom of my to-do-list. In the big city I ride the subway, don’t own a TV, and can hardly convince myself to get naked for me, let alone a girl hot enough to get me semi-erect. Therefore I spend my most of my time in transition reading. No I haven’t read Twilight or any other tween scream novel… yet (I say yet, because five years ago I never thought I’d be wearing Uniqlo skinny jeans in Williamsburg, Brooklyn… you never know).
I seem to find the most enjoyment in memoirs, humor essays, and well written opinion pieces. In my opinion, the most important thing is that the author’s voice is conveyed in a comedic light. Anyone too serious about anything needs to masturbate and buy a dog… there’s just no need not to be smiling. I’ve read some big name authors who couldn’t hold my attention more than a flat butt and backnee and read some no names who had my literature libido dancing like a black girl a prom. I love reading words that covey a message in such a way, whether it comedic, moving, or whatever, that it forces me to stop and reread it, in hopes of gaining the same satisfaction the second time around. And, like my awkward attempts at sex, I’m always happily surprised when it’s even better the second go. If there’s one thing that keeps me connected to finishing my bachelors degree, it’s the opportunity to major in English and maybe read some more notable novels while making my mother’s heart hump her chest knowing the first person to climb out her vag got his college degree.
Wishing I read more as a child,
Daniel Dickey

Dickey,
Face. I saw your Winehouse video on YouTube, “This little piggy *snort *snort throws a show like she deep throats wolf dick, all the way, baby!” long title, but it’s aight. 8+ mil? Impressive. I gotta say, your shits getting better and better, you got stamina kid, keep it up.
Props,

It’s nice to see some else who enjoys reading. You articulated EXACTLY how I feel about reading. Here are three books you might enjoy reading, it’s a trilogy.
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Beauty’s Punishment
Beauty’s Release
by A.N. Roquelaure
(it’s really Anne Rice but it is NOT about vampires, I promise.)
I’ve read them half a dozen times at least and get the same thrill just like the first time. Plus, in this story Beauty is awakened with more than a kiss……
Enjoy
I have seriously been sitting in my apartment completely unmotivated to do anything other than read your posts for the past hour, and this is by far the best one you have written so far. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts and really hope that you do pursue an english major because I would like to see more from you. Good to know that someone close to my age is actually picking up a book. Maybe there is hope for our generation. Good luck with your career and your goals.
don’t read that Sleeping Beauty trilogy, unless you enjoy the words “spank” and “arse”…they’re horribly written with a only a semi-challenging plot. it’s preteen porn. no more. no less.
keep up the good blogs though!
