Artists
It's very hard being an artist. A lot of the time it's like being invisible if you're not just ignored.
Truth. Maybe it's different for some people, but for the rest of us, we either get skins of stone and perform our art in the dark or we pretend (or believe) that it is a calling on par with the priesthood... without the fringe benefits.

Thanks for the friend request, Brad -- it's a pleasure to accept it! :)
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Brad.
Do likes count as communication?eh, not really. although I do appreciate them of course!
the main reason I put that in my friend request question is because I don't like having too many goodreads friends so from time to time I go on a friend deleting spree. I always keep the friends I recognize (unless they are inactive or have somehow annoyed me). so to stay my friend, I have to recognize you, and one of the ways to do that is to become a real person to me by occasionally communicating with me. however the other way to do that is by regularly writing reviews that I enjoy. you definitely have the latter covered!
Hello Brad! Thanks for accepting the friend request. Looking forward to our bookish chats. Cheers! :)
Thanks for the friends' request, I think so, too! :-)
Hi Brad, Thank you for the friend-invite. You have some very good reads on your shelf
Hi Brad,Thanks for accepting my friend request. Looking forward to chatting with you on GR.

Hi Brad. Thank you for the friend invite. I started following you because of the friends and books we have in common. I remember especially liking something you were saying about Laurell K Hamilton. Haha. Anyway, look forward to chatting. :)

Thank you for the friend request and EXCELLENT ANSWER. Far too many people give me straight answers, and to be honest, I HATE IT! The whole reason I have a question is to get people to come up with creative responses :)

Hi Brad! Hello! Do have any idea about what sci fi books that used economics as its main theme? Thank you.
Chasm wrote: "Hi Brad! Hello! Do have any idea about what sci fi books that used economics as its main theme? Thank you."
A ton of Charles Stross books focus on economics, but it's not limited to just him. A lot of SF does. Heinlein is great for it, but short of doing a long survey of works, I could recommend some like Neptune's Brood, The Foundation Trilogy, Rule 34, Cryptonomicon, or even Dune if you do a careful reading.
*waves at Brad*Thank you for accepting my invite.
Hey Brad, Thank you for adding me to your friend list ^_^
Can't wait to talk about stuff, uhm book stuff that is xaxa

You bet I am! Never fear to comment on anything! I love to have fun with books and people. :)
Hey Brad, thanks for the add. I see we have "a few" books and a great reading taste in common, but foremost... kudos for the lengthy reviews (I'm curious to find out what you think about at least those common books). Keep it up and enjoy the rest of your TBR. :)
Heya Brad! Just saw the trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and your avatar popped to mind! Baby Groot! So awesome! ^_^
Related part from trailer. Read at your own risk :D

Brad, what can I say? Thanks for adding my friend request. The amount of books you have reviewed is amazing. I also love the baby groot pic. In fact that is what drove my eye to read one of your posts and request a friend invite. :-)
