Oscar Wilde

“There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book.
Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Ray Bradbury

“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
― Ray Bradbury

Sylvia Plath

“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)”
― Sylvia Plath

Margaret Atwood

“There's an epigram tacked to my office bulletin board, pinched from a magazine -- "Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pâté.”
― Margaret Atwood , Negotiating with the Dead: A Writer on Writing

The research projects have been completed, and I would like to thank everybody who has participated.* So, I'm doing a super-important research project about the weirdos who inhabit the online community goodreads.com. What is this group for? THIS GROUP IS FOR ME TO INTERROGATE YOU YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELF IN NEW, AMAZING WAYS BY ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WAY YOU USE GOODREADS. *UPDATE, 12/13/10: As of last week, I've reorganized the threads in the hopes of making it clear what actually pertains to the project, and what is just fun conversation! This isn't to discourage off-topicness, but will hopefully make it easier for new members to not get totally overwhelmed. Again, thanks for the great conversations, and I'll be posting more questions gradually.* Specifically, I'm doing a rhetoric project where I'm attempting to answer the questions: How are reviews on social cataloguing websites evolving as a genre? How do the authors of these reviews percieve the review writing process? Do these reviews all fit into one genre, or are there multiple genres of online book reviewing? I may develop more questions as the project goes on, but this is where I'm starting. ...more
