Most disturbing novel you have read lately?
Alex C:
What pisses me off about Never Let Me Go is that I wrote a pretty alright short story about pretty much the same topic back in '03, but now I cannot show it to anyone without feeling even hackier then usual. Stupid Ishiguro just had to go and be more talented than me, the bastard.
Scandanavian War Machine:
I hate it when people (see: everyone) do that.

I'm pretty sure the growing clone kids for parts thing has been done several times before and since by published authors so at least you're in good company. Oh yeah, why don't I have permissions for spoiler tags?
Alex C:
Yeah, ideas have a way of getting farmed out and explored by many different people; we're all living in the same world, after all, so I'm not pretentious enough to really think I have any extraordinarily original ideas or anything. That said, I still find it somewhat intimidating when someone tackles the same subject as I have but does so with a far greater degree of success. His book essentially rendered any input I have on the subject superfluous, and it chafes me a bit. Ah well, there are worse crosses to bear than a mild case of artist envy.

I haven't, but I shall soon! There are perks to living within walking distance of a library.
