But I think that people who ask don’t know the vanity and the nothingness of writing."

I'm so happy to learn that you are enjoying <i>The Possessed</i>.Of course there are no haters here at My Life and Thoughts. When our busy schedule of heroin and $30,000 call-girls permits, we even try to update the <a href="http://www.elifbatuman.net/events/" rel="nofollow">events listings</a> in a somewhat timely fashion. For what I'm paying them, the hookers should really do it themselves, but you know how hard it is to find good help these days. Sincerely yours, Elif Dear Howard,
