I know what you mean about not wanting RL people to know who you are. I always want to be open and unashamed of it, but some of my friends are so . . . disdainful of stuff like this; I just don't want to have to put up with them giving me shit about it. The other thing is I don't want anyone to see how much time I waste online!

I think it'd be crappy to filter someone out completely--I hadn't thought of using filters for that until [livejournal.com profile] semby brought it up. I agree, if you don't want to read someone, you should just defriend them.

Jorge Luis Borges is an Argentinean writer (of short stories, essays, poems, and literary critique). He's one of the most famous movers and shakers behind "magical realism", which means reading some of his stuff is strangely like looking at a painting by Salvador Dali (of melting clocks fame). I highly recommend his short stories. He's thinky, but FUN. He's like reading a dream.
