I understand when some people say that the style is terrible but i think in your novels the style is really just a simple tool, other writers do art with the style whereas you&#39;re doing a better art with your subjects, the message, the realist details about life, so never mind about your style (but it gives some effects either). I just wanted to say that i really like what you write and that i&#39;m a little sad because there aren&#39;t a lot of people in my connections who know you (unfortunatly i&#39;m 15). <br />PS: you&#39;re not a hipster aren&#39;t you ?Nersenohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05385844364897644827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-86354402372441326142010-10-23T12:54:45.587-04:002010-10-23T12:54:45.587-04:00i think you should probably give me a free book. it doesn&#39;t have to be richard yates, but it can be. i already have eee... and bed. so not those. why should you give me a free book? because i am not very awesome and owning your book might take me just a little bit in the direction of awesomeness. why don&#39;t i just go out and buy one? what&#39;s my problem? i don&#39;t know. i really don&#39;t.brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08487475601467162535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-89132573425110192102010-07-15T20:46:39.161-04:002010-07-15T20:46:39.161-04:00bought your first book today. felt weird buying something. in the process of reading everything you&#39;ve ever published. thanks for working so hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-90278434133698753892010-05-06T17:16:58.726-04:002010-05-06T17:16:58.726-04:00binky [dot] tabby [at] gmailTao Linhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04807160197099916059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-11410851262346844112010-05-05T16:49:29.142-04:002010-05-05T16:49:29.142-04:00Dear Tao Lin,<br /><br />If you give me your email address, I will send you my completed essay.Frederick Bothamhttp://www.fmjbotham.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-30652218086956781432010-04-19T12:10:10.380-04:002010-04-19T12:10:10.380-04:00dear tao lin,<br /><br />i had a dream that you called me on my telephone last night. you were cordial but chuckled a bit much for my taste. if this continues i will have to cease enjoying your writing. because i have an aversion to speaking on the phone, especially to strangers, while i sleep. <br /><br />how did you get my number?<br /> <br />cognitive-behavioral therapy was quite an enjoyable work. thank you?noranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13096981.post-5783146396815681982010-04-05T06:21:48.997-04:002010-04-05T06:21:48.997-04:00Dear Tao Lin,<br /><br />I am writing an essay about your work for my degree.

I first came across your work Pindeldyboz, then read more of your fiction and poetry, all of which impressed me greatly. <BR/><BR/>If you haven't heard of Kartika Review yet, well...Kartika Review.
