It's always nice to meet others who enjoy his work! The Screwtape Letters is a brilliant read; I see it's what you read last. Thank you for adding my button, and for your comment; it's nice to read. I'll be keeping an eye on your site, too. :]

I'll find it and get back to you as soon as I can! I've been travelling a lot recently and I've had a lot of assignments and health problems, so it's likely it got buried amongst all of that somehow.

I thought I was the only person in the whole world who analyzed their speech patterns! Just kidding, but it's comforting to hear someone else struggles with it too. What frustrates me is not being able to communicate my ideas in a concise and clear manner, do you have any recommendations for this?

I also have another question to ask, which (forgive me) is of a more personal subject, but why use sites like gelbooru and 4chan when there's a risk of nsfw content? As I understand you can filter it out on gelbooru, but how do you address this problem on 4chan and everywhere else on the web?

I think the best way to learn to communicate in a way that feels coherent to you is to spend a lot of time writing long-form letters to friends, assimilating parts of writing styles you enjoy in literature you read, and avoiding 'clutter' in your writing: unnecessarily obscure words, overly long sentences, badly structured lists. I think my sentences are too long very often, so I'm not great at most of this.

I filter Gelbooru, and on 4chan I don't have many issues with this whilst browsing the boards I do occasionally check, such as /out/ or /g/. If there is anything NSFW, my brain has gotten good at simply filtering it out or not looking at it by now.

thanks for your kind words :-) your site has inspired me to make more time for reading in my life, and also to check out kodama maria bungaku shuusei
I actually wrote a review for Shimeji on another old website of mine, but I never ended up transferring it to literaturegirl. I might summarise it and move it over someday, as it was very long. If I recall correctly, the angle was about finding beauty in the mundane.
I've been very busy with my degree and with travelling lately, but I'm planning on reading and writing a lot more during the summer whilst I have the time. If you have any similar manga recommendations for then, I'd love to receive them. :]
been reading one called Usuzumi no Hate, its still ongoing, probly similar to Girls last tour minus the cute girls stuff. would love to hear your thoughts on them. ill probly write my own review as well
I'll check that manga out. Thanks for the recommendation!
