Welcome to TNBBC
Thanks, should i respond to this? So far from the small presses I really enjoy most of CCLap, I have read I'm Not Saying, I'm Just Saying by Matthew Salesses from Civil Coping Mechanisms, and the Derek Palacio novella. I'm really curious about Sam Pink and Noah Cicero.

What is the appeal of sam Pink though? Is he funny or is he just really fun to read and surreal?
I have been reading for most of my life but I don't think i've gotten into more serious literature until maybe junior year of high school. I used to read mostly YA, now I rarely read any unless the plot sounds interesting and it's cheap or it's one of those contemporary, coming of age ones like novels written by A.S. King. Then I found Haruki Murakami and my taste in literature has changed so much, I will never go back. That sounds snobby. The college library has so many good books and i'm sad that i won't be able to read the ones I want due to it being a two year and time goes by fast.
my favorite authors are Haruki Murakami, Kazuo Ishiguro, and so far I really love books by Mo Yan, Zadie Smith, Ben Tanzer,Roberto Bolaño, or anything in the magical realism genre or literary fiction. Anything that is touching, historical fiction, or has a dreamy feeling is an instant love.
I have a blog where i talk about books but I made this post on my iPad so I have no clue how to put a link of it and I don't feel like doing it.
