I know what you mean about fic ruining you for general mainstream reading. I mean, not the classics I'm reading, because they are entirely different, but general reading is really hard. My professor keeps telling me I'm way better than I believe I am, and all I can think is, 'No, I'm not, because I read a lot of shit that's by some fucking brilliant people, and they aren't even published--I'm nowhere near their leagues ( ... )

Yeah, I looked her up on IMDB and clearly her predigree is the only reason she's gotten hired for anything. Bad, bad actress.

On the writing--yes, but think how much you've learned from reading all those amazing people. You're already miles above, say, Bernard Cornwell. ;)

Chaplin's listed but it says it's unavailable. I can "save" it for when/if it becomes available, but I can't rent it.
