Ben Harper is a high school senior and a native of a sleepy Chicago suburb in the hectic days of the early '90s. Through a pair of essays for college applications, he explores what it means to be a high school senior, the awkward time between teenager and adult. He finds the definitions he's put himself in to be too restricting, and so Ben is forced into a journey of loss and self-discovery, and what it means to be incomplete, along with his longtime best friend, Samantha Hayes, who has already had to readjust herself after a car crash takes one of her legs. As they adjust to their new life, they are faced with challenges around every corner in their struggle for a normal life.Sam is, perhaps, the only one who sees both the good and bad, the joys and pains in young Ben, and it is she who will force him to decide what he wants most in the world.

Poems by an Italian guy who moved to Dublin. Cheap loves, cheap beers, bad jobs. And fights. Bukowski would have probably been disappointed. But you always were, Hank, weren't you?

Set in 1994, Painting God's Kingdom tells the story of suburban life through the eyes and journal entries of protagonist, Calvin Bird, a teenager who feels too much, but couldn't care less. Calvin, a self-proclaimed artist and failing student, is struggling with anxiety. He is awkward at love and awkward at life. As high school draws to an end, Calvin fears he will be left behind by his friends to live and die an ordinary life. Painting God's Kingdom is about finding where you fit in, and the desire to leave one's mark on the world. Painting God's Kingdom is a character-driven, coming-of-age Young Adult novel in the tradition of The Catcher In The Rye and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

"Killing context one text at a time." Imogen Ditcher's main goal for the Summer holidays was to finally put her past behind her and confront her long dead arch nemesis, English poet, John Keats. The only way of doing so: barbecuing every text she studied that year. The only people crazy enough to help her are sitting right where she needs them. In the local park. With the help of the literary greats (including Shakespeare, Wilde and even Keats himself), an angsty boy who calls himself Morrissey and two Shakespeare fanatics, a journey of self discovery ensues.

This book is purely inspired by J.D. Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye. I adore the book and are writing this as a sorta fan fiction. WARNING: There is strong language.

The morning of a rueful day a long time ago. Not so long ago.

This is me analyzing J.D. Salinger's "Nine Stories" a really beautiful collection of stories.

Li, Paj, Jason, and El wake up with amnesia and cryptic messages they left themselves. Apparently they are part of a social experiment. Apparently they have superpowers. Apparently they all agreed to do this experiment for the betterment of their greater community, whatever that means. But why does what they've written themselves seem to clash with the few memories they have? And who are the mysterious other participants in the experiment that none of them seem to see nor remember?

The story of the last human writer.
