I stumbled upon on one of your stories I printed out and I thought I would check your profile again. I am sure you don't come on here anymore, but I wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite writers here on DA. That is all I wanted to say.

Is Gravity's Rainbow Pynchon's best novel? V. looks pretty interesting actually.
While I'm at it what are some other good modern/postmodern novels? Faulkner and Woolf are oft-mentioned names. Beckett looks promising.

I'd say yes, definitely, though I'm hardly an expert and the only others I've read are The Crying of Lot 49 and Mason & Dixon (both of which are also excellent).
Faulkner, Woolf, and Beckett are some of my favorites ever! I still think that Woolf's The Waves is the best thing ever written. My top five (not including that or GR, as they've already been mentioned): The Sound and the Fury (Faulkner), Pale Fire, Lolita (both Nabokov), To the Lighthouse (Woolf), Ulysses (Joyce). Those aren't really postmodern, though (wait, that's a lie, Pale Fire is); for that I'd suggest stuff by Paul Auster, Julio CortΓ‘zar, Donald Barthelme. If Danielewski's House of Leaves counts (does it? to be honest, I'm not entirely certain where the boundaries lie), then definitely definitely that.
Oh man, I could go on.

Erm, so, I have to write 15,000 words in the next 7 days. I'm gonna have to take a rain check.

Promise to repent is essential. Also essential is repetition of confession. Come see me again in a week, my child.

I just remembered that you're at oxford right now. I was just visiting there this weekend! I'm so in love with that city.
how is everything going there? I know another writer who's there right now and he's a very cool guy - let me know if you'd want to try and meet him. I don't know how many people you've gotten to know what with the one-on-one tutorials.
anyway, good luck with the end of the term. send some dreaming-spires love towards London for the folks who aren't constantly surrounded by the historical and intellectual.
π: 0 β©: 1
Eep! Sorry! Completely forgot that people can actually comment here.
Anyway, Oxford is the most wonderful city I've ever encountered, and I, too, am in love. I'm already scheming about how I can come back here as soon as possible and stay for as long as possible. (Grad school and more grad school, yay!)
((Also, I'm kind of afraid of people, particularly new ones. I'm tempted, though.))
π: 0 β©: 1
oh goodness, yeah. after visiting once I started plotting grad school there. too bad the tuition would be around $40k for the one year. plan B is to find a nice British trophy husband.
I'd be too afraid to meet folks, too. in fact, my friend from home is trying to get me to call up her friend in London, but I can't do it. have you been fitting in alright and having fun on your own? I'm finding that fitting in just goes differently here, but I can do it. I don't know if I think it's as easy to make tight friends, though.
oh lord, and how are you getting by without horses (or do you have yours here)? I walked through a nature preserve the other day and saw someone cantering through the fields, and I just wanted to be her so badly.
π: 0 β©: 2
oh, that is quite lucky. my friend is in a house that the college found for him with three other Americans, and he's become good friends with them but I don't think he meets many other people.
I wish I was on an equestrian team! that would be hard work, but it would definitely be nice to even see horses from time to time. I'm dreading the pain when I ride again after a winter, semester, and summer off... and the amount of skill that will have gone down the drain by that time. I'm thinking of trying to volunteer at a stable here just so I can have the environment, at the very least.
if I can marry Johnny Depp and live in Bermuda and Oxford alternately with my string of Thoroughbreds, you can marry a horse-owning trophy husband in Oxford. really. I'm sure there are plenty of those to go around.

Oh yes, skill (and muscle) has definitely gone down the drain. It's pretty depressing. Good luck with the volunteering (and let me know if it works out!): I briefly considered attempting to work at a stable nearby, but the stupid BHS has so many rules and regulations and safety things and exams you have to pass, and such.
And . . . ahh, that sounds like a beautiful life.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, right now I'm pinning all my hopes on impossible fellowships that I'll never actually get. Sigh. (Trophy husbands are always good too, though . . . ooh, especially if they have horses and/or money to buy me horses! Hehe.)
As for meeting people, I'm really lucky in that I'm living with 25 other people from my college in a little compound thing, so I have a somewhat reliable base of friends here. This also means I haven't been spending so much time with/meeting British friends, though, which is unfortunate. Ah well. I'm on the equestrian team, which allows me to meet a few people (and horsey people! I always get along with horsey people) and also ride, though painfully infrequently. (Literally painfully: the few times I do ride I'm sore for days afterward.)
When I come back here for grad school/life, I'm definitely having a horse. (You know, as long as I'm living in impossibilities I might as well compound them, right?)

You're very welcome. (I couldn't not watch another horse-loving/writing Rachel. . . . hehe.)
And thank you! He's my baby.
