Sometimes, when I’m reading book reviews online just to get a taste of what I may or may not be getting into, I manage to stumble upon something that never fails to irritate me: “Sorry, I couldn’t finish this book because I really couldn’t relate to the character at all.”
What do you think?
I’ll be posting much more regularly on my blog. At least a few times a week, hopefully.

i’m sorry but the holden caufield example is maybe too faulty because catcher in the rye is probably salinger’s worst book in my opinion. i would have said david lurie from disgrace because he’s so different from me and his concerns were alien

My name is Joseph Dante and I’m a writer from South Florida. I once wrote a collective creative writing project known as Letters for Burning (a project about characters writing unsent letters that were meant for the fire), but now I’m trying to get published elsewhere.
My main passions used to center around energy burnt for escape, but now I’m trying my hardest to find home in them instead: in the pages of books, the ink of written words, the dust of memories, the pixels of the internet. I’m a little, quiet, antisocial creature with a little, quiet desire for human empathy. I believe in revision and I believe in people being more creative. I fall in love with fictional characters who should be real people, and real people who should be fictional characters.
