Hell, is that book still in print, for that matter?


You know, it's OK to branch out a bit when you want to illustrate your point with a dystopia— might I suggest Gor novels?

Yes, I get the point.

Congratulations: you've read a book that most of your peers have read, and you're a party-pooper! To be you is fun!


Come back when you're ready to discuss Gor novels, plz.

Also, did Jessica ruin your fun by letting everyone who hasn't read it in on the secret?

Don't be such a douchebag!

Since reading [redacted] sometime in HS, I have kept cash in my house just in case.

You are so cool to suggest Gor for us! When I try to act like a pretentious asshole, I too reference obscure books as often as possible. We must be soul mates. And the way you spell "plz" is totally classy. I am so turned on. Let's roleplay. I'll be John Stewart and you can be Tucker Carlson, and basically everytime you say something (which, let's face it, isn't very funny anyway) I just call you a "dick." I love this game! Call me.
